3.15am and I am so tired I can barely piece two thoughts together.

I am almost halfway throughy MBA, and with 6 months to go I feel extremely bored with it.

Alas, I promised myself (and my parents) that I would finish it… and I could hardly look at myself in the mirror if I gave up after coming this far and spending $25,000 only to pivot to something else.

It’s been a week of momentous progress.

The thing that has changed is that I have started thinking in terms of problems I could solve.

It feels like everything has clicked and in retrospect whatever I was doing before seems unintelligent.

I have been spinning my wheels for years but now I have actually started making sales because I have identified that I want to run a platform, not a startup.

I also feel aligned around a purpose greater than myself – solving problems.

The problem is that the problems I seem obsessed with solving are so big people will think I am crazy… I am even starting to question my own sanity.

Without going into too much detail I feel like the problem that needs to be solved is that mother Earth, nature, the animal kingdom etc doesn’t have a seat at the table.

The solution?

Build a trust fund dedicated to saving the rainforests and keeping the oceans clean.

With enough investment and robust governance there is no limit to what could be accomplished… inexpensive lab-grown meat, carbon sequestration, even electric flying cars.

But I am just a WordPress developer and MBA student.

Yes, I am probably among the best in the world at coming up with beautiful ideas and plans.

But I can barely elicit a response from my classmates let alone investors or the general public.

I have billion or even trillion dollar ideas… but I need technical co-founders… and to woo them I need to bring something to the table beyond branding.

That’s why, in order to grow a platform, i am planning to start a podcast series interviewing business leaders.

(That’s also why I am also planning to keep this blog).
