Extra typically than I care to confess, I discover myself stepping again from the day by day grind to think about the whole lot that has introduced me to the purpose I’m at as we speak, as tacky because it sounds.

Whereas I clearly understand how lengthy Brülosophy has been round, really contemplating what all lies in that sprint that sits between February of 2014 and as we speak… whew… it’s lots.
