There’s a certain energy in the air right now, isn’t there? That crisp, clear-sky feeling of a fresh start. It always makes me think about potential and new beginnings. Building on this energy of possibility, I was recently struck by a story about a young man who exemplifies this passion-driven journey: Nathaneo Johnson, a full-time […]

You know that little dance you do every night? The one where you’re hunting for the right cable, untangling a spaghetti monster of wires, and hoping everyone’s device has enough juice for tomorrow?

Picture this: while your little one builds imaginary worlds with blocks, technology giants are revolutionizing how machines communicate. Sound familiar?

Sometimes I’ll be watching my daughter build a ridiculously ambitious tower of blocks, totally lost in her own world of creation, and it hits me—the tools she’ll use to build her future are going to be worlds beyond anything we had. We’re talking about a shift as big as the dawn of the internet. And

Have you ever built a massive block tower with your little one, only to realize the wobbly piece is hidden somewhere deep inside? You can’t see it, but you know it’s threatening the whole structure.
