I’m still married.

I feel like I need to say that because I haven’t posted a video in months, and people have been reaching out to me and my wife asking, “Is everything okay?”

Everything’s okay.

I just haven’t really been on social media this year. Apart from uploading things occasionally, I’ve basically disconnected from it.

And something strange happened when I did.

I started noticing that some of the things I thought I believed… I don’t actually believe anymore.

And I think the same thing probably happens to a lot of people.

Whatever your political opinions are, whatever you think about the world, whatever you’re convinced is true — disconnect yourself from that constant scroll for a while.

You might realise you don’t actually believe half the things you think you believe.

Because when you’re constantly consuming other people’s opinions, eventually you can’t tell where their thoughts end and yours begin.

But life has actually been pretty good lately.

I wrote my second book.

I bought my first car.

And next week, I’m going Goggins.

I actually asked AI, “What’s the best way to go Goggins?”

And it basically replied:

“It’s not safe to go Goggins.”

But…

I’m going Goggins.

Ten years can change everything.

The person you are today doesn't have to be the person you become. One decision at a time, life can take you somewhere you never imagined.

If you're in a difficult season, don't mistake this chapter for the whole story.

Wherever you are right now, keep going.

A day in the life of a boy living in the Shire, trying to catch a Pokémon. The cows are judging, the hills are rolling, and somehow the Pokédex is still empty.

We’ve been taught to chase independence, perfection, and “having it all together” before commitment. But the strongest lives were built by two people becoming a team long before everything was perfect. Real love was never about fantasy — it was about building together.

We spend so much of our lives praying for things, only to become blind to them once they’re ours. Gratitude changes everything. Sometimes all it takes is stepping outside, taking a breath, and remembering how blessed we really are.

For most of my life, I’ve been obsessed with ancient history. As I got older, I stopped just reading about it—and started going to the places where it actually happened.

From Athens to Rome. Across islands in the Mediterranean. Through Lebanon, beneath the African sun, deep into the Arabian desert, and across France—I’ve walked through the echoes of the past.

And it changed how I see the world.

We live in one of the most peaceful times in human history, yet we act like it’s not enough. A world shaped by international law—built, ironically, in the shadow of the most destructive weapon ever created. It took the threat of total destruction to force peace.

And still, we forget.

Because when you walk through ruins, you don’t just see stone—you see people. Lives. Men rushing home to their families. Women laughing in markets. Dreams, fears, ambitions—just like ours.

All gone.

Everything they believed would last… didn’t.

History doesn’t repeat—but it rhymes.

We think our world is permanent. Our borders, our nations, our way of life. But nothing in history ever has been. Kingdoms rise and fall. Maps change. Always.

That’s what unsettles me most.

Not that things will change—but that we live like they won’t.

One day, we’ll be gone too. Just bones in the ground. Our stories forgotten, like those who once called these ruins home.

So maybe the question isn’t what we’re building—but whether we even understand how temporary it all is.

We argue about what matters today…

while ignoring what could redefine everything tomorrow.

Intelligence is shifting.
The question is... are we paying attention?
