Hey Reader
“Je pense à trop de choses en même temps.”
(“I’m thinking about too many things at once.”)
My French teacher taught me how to say it in French when I tried to explain my week in class. And honestly? It was the truest thing I said all week.
My mind was sprinting ahead of my body.
Prepping the Marine CDR event, launching a new video, writing, organizing, editing, sending invites — it felt breathless.
Progress felt invisible.
But somewhere between small steps and tiny kindnesses, I remembered:
🌱 Tiny steps still count.
🌟 And little moments of connection are what we hold onto.
💌This Week’s Gift
🎥 New YouTube video!
This week, I published a Day in the Life vlog featuring:
- How I use ChatGPT as a personal assistant
- Unboxing and first impressions of the DJI Pocket 3
- Real scenes of creative chaos in London
It’s messy, joyful, and full of real moments — like most things worth building.
Hope it inspires you if you’re building your own version of a creative life: 🔗 Watch here
🧠 A ChatGPT Moment I Loved
This week I caught myself saying to ChatGPT:
“I felt overwhelmed and not happy even after the gym even know where to start.”
And it simply replied:
“You are not behind. You are in Motion”
You don’t always need a full plan. Sometimes, the bravest thing is simply taking the next tiny step.
You just need a next move. Put one foot ahead of the other, it will take you to where you need to be.
🎙 Tiny Seeds, Big Stories
Behind the scenes, I’m finalizing the teaser for Season 4 of Bite-Size Climate Tech — new voices, bigger dreams, and some very special live recordings.
The funny moments came last week when I went to an event, amongst all the networking spiel, people that I haven’t met in person for over a year remember me from the podcast.
It reminded me: 🌱 When you build something with heart, it stays with people, even when you’re not in the room.
We’ll also be heading back to The Drop in Malmö soon — this time, with a head start to secure a venue before the main event start rather than the day after! (no more rushing to the airport!).
Stay tuned… 🌍✨
P.S. Fun listen of the week:
🎲 The Board Game Billionaire – A My First Million podcast episode about turning a $10k Kickstarter into $100M+ in joy, laughter, and connection.
(Perfect for a walk outside or a cozy Sunday reset.)
✨Blue Elsewhere
Each week, I gather three moments. Tiny windows into what moved me, made me pause, or helped me see differently.
One Magic Moment
At my local café, a barista simply remembered: “You always order extra hot, right? Do you want to have that too?” after I forgot t put that in on my manual order.
It sounds small.
But in a world rushing at full speed, care — real, unreasonable, thoughtful care — is what we remember.
It’s not about the volume of gestures. It’s about the sincerity behind them.
Watching people do what they love — and offer it with joy — changes the energy of an entire room
One Shift in Thought
This week, as I prepared for our Marine Carbon Removal event, I kept thinking:
What if an event could feel like a gift, not just a gathering?
Unreasonable Hospitality reminded me:
“Luxury is giving more; hospitality is being more thoughtful.”
With just a little more care — a handwritten card, a surprise “fruitful moment,” a warm welcome — we could make every part of the experience thoughtful, even with limited resources.
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters — with heart.

One Extra Spark
After my mid-morning workout, the sun finally peeked through London’s usual grey.
I wandered into my favorite café, where Kevin — a soft-spoken barista — talked about pour-over coffee with the wonder of an 8-year-old in a chocolate factory.
“It’s like a tea ceremony,” he said, quietly delighted.
In that moment, it struck me:
🌿 Movement dissolves anxiety.
🌟 Wonder dissolves doubt.
When we move — even a little — and when we stay open to tiny joys, life feels lighter again.
