She Left London Film Sets Behind. Now She Shoots Weddings on Maui.
The photograph that stays with you is never the one where everyone is looking at the camera. It is the father wiping his eyes during the first dance when he thinks nobody is watching. It is the bride's best friend…
The Tender That Got Away: Why More UK Businesses Are Outsourcing Their Bid Writing
Somewhere in Britain right now, a business owner is staring at a 47-page Invitation to Tender and wondering whether it is worth the effort. The contract is worth six figures. The deadline is in ten days. And the last three…
The Silent Sentinels: Navigating the Murky Waters of Digital Supervision
It is hard, perhaps almost impossible, I think, to truly know what happens on the screens of the people we care about. We hand these glowing rectangles to teenagers, to employees, and we just sort of… hope for the best….
The Invisible Architecture of Internet Fame
It is a peculiar phenomenon of the modern age, I think, to watch someone you vaguely know suddenly, and inexplicably, go viral. I was looking at the Instagram page of a local bakery the other day—a perfectly fine, relatively quiet…

I was staring at the living room wall the other day. It’s funny how you can live in a house for years, walking past the same hallway every single morning, and then suddenly you stop and realize that the paint…
The Maturation of a Market: Finding Signal in the Noise of Modern Cannabis
It is actually quite fascinating, I think, to sit back and observe what happens when a massive cultural novelty finally wears off and settles into the mundane rhythm of everyday commerce. I remember the initial wave of legalization here in…
The Strange, Scientific Shift in How We Consume Cannabis
I was thinking recently about how drastically the cannabis landscape has changed over the last, I don't know, maybe five or six years. It’s actually quite jarring if you stop and really look at it. I remember a time when…
