I love this piece, but your section on the power of "delusional optimism" completely hooked me. I find it sad that the world often rewards cynicism, so having the sheer audacity to believe you can build something meaningful against the odds isn't just refreshing; it’s a prerequisite for success. This is such a beautifully written piece, Tom!

Thank you again for the kind words, that made my day! I definitely agree the world can reward cynicism and it’s important to resist this!
This is a great article. I have ‘suffered’ from delusional optimism all my life - finally I feel seen!
Thank you Tim! 😊
Time spent building yourself up or an asset is never wasted… compounding is real - but it’s to easy to forget!
