When I sold my company and drifted into something resembling semi-retirement, people stopped asking me about my EBITDA and started asking me a far more stressful question:
Mark, I have a friend who also recently left an intense job. He said that the best part of this new chapter is that he can say YES to folks. So he helps small non profits, responds to kids from his college who reach out for mentoring, does excel models for an investment committee he is on. Yes! I love it.
Mark, I guess I have a bit of a different perspective I've always known you as my brother-in-law funny, smart, entrepreneur and always learning and teaching others I have no doubt that you will inspire and educate many people and who knows you might find that next big thing. Who knows what that chapter will look like. Looking forward to following your quest!

I think I’d like to buy those binoculars!
Love this one ! Infusionist … I like it. Maybe that’s next for me 🤣
Particularly liked this one!
you frame the binoculars and mason jar. the two lomographs you frame them together also. how do you not see that. (you've read David Sedaris ya?)
thank you for writing your SELF, it's just really beyond WONDERFUL for us. can't wait for the next. and thank you for the laughs. I love.

Love you, Steve
I really enjoyed this and could hear your voice in the reading! Thank you for honesty and self-deprecation that is really self-love!
Hysterical! Insightful! I spit laughed over the neighbor pity remark. I am getting excited for my next chapter. xo
Who I am is a tough list for all of us. Love of learning is a great gift
Sorry meant to say tough lift. Never done. Just like love of learning. Looking forward to reading about the next targets of this passion!
Hilarious and wise. A great pleasure to read.
Thanks, Gordon. Accidentally wise, I guess.
Hey Mark, Nice post. Spot on. Love learning!!! Chuck
Thanks Chuck! I am starting to think that learning is more fun than mastering.
