> Many folks have reached out to me to understand the rationale behind this big step. We had a few months to make the decision as we wanted to wait till the school year finished for the kids. Few things led to this.

> I don’t have any plans for what’s next, but I’m looking forward to a reset, spending time with the kids, some serendipity and to being bored.
