I’ve been online consistently every day since the beginning of September. A few days ago, by mistake, I lost my flame… 😅 Some days I’ve shown up just for the sake of it. Other days, I’ve been truly on fire and thought… maybe it’s not worth it, as I've done what I need for the flame. It got me thinking… which camp are you in? And more importantly, what do you value in others? For me, it’s a mix of: Consistency: showing up, even on the “meh” days Authenticity: being real, not just playing to the streak Generosity: sharing without keeping score Curiosity & growth: pushing yourself and others to explore and improve Would love to hear your thoughts—are you chasing the flame, or creating it?

Let’s do something a little different today… One of the best parts of networking isn’t the pitches, the projects, or even the opportunities — it’s getting to know the person behind the profile. The real magic happens when we find common ground, shared passions, and those little things that make us human. So today’s question is simple: 🎨 What’s your hobby? What’s that thing you do just for you — the thing that lights you up, helps you switch off, or brings out your creative side? I’ll go first 👇

I’d genuinely love your thoughts on this… I’ve connected with a lot of new people on LinkedIn lately, and I’ll be honest, so many of the profile photos look like they’re at least 10 years out of date. The grey hairs are now there, the wrinkles have joined the party… but the photos haven’t changed. And with all the noise online about people 40+ being replaced by AI or younger talent, it got me thinking 👇 Should we be trying to “cover up” and look younger, hair dye, filters, old photos, just to stay competitive? Or… Should we be embracing our age and owning the wisdom, experience, and stability that only time can give us? I’m genuinely curious how you see it. Does showing your real age help or hurt your business presence? And if you’re 40+, have you felt the pressure to appear younger?
