Quote of the Day
"Writing for people who don’t care or are in a place in their lives right now where they don’t have the time to pay attention is not worthwhile. Writing for people who get it and want to take the journey - that’s the best feeling on earth for me. So it’s addition through subtraction."
(Joshua Brown)
