What Came Before: Early Reflections & Fuel for the Work

Not everything on this site was written in the same season.
Some of the early work came from urgency, frustration, and a deep desire to name what felt broken.

That clarity still matters. These pages name what many people feel but can't yet articulate—about work, leadership, and meaning.

We’ve chosen not to hide or rewrite them. Instead, they’re held here with context.

You might think of them as:

• Compost—fuel for what’s grown

• Mirrors—showing what some are still living inside

• Markers—of how this work has evolved
