My wife Alexa and I learned the hard way: homes can be (very) toxic. It took us a year to find & fix the cause of our health issues. Nobody should need to go through that. So w/ our friend @jwmares we incubated Lightwork: the world's most data-driven home health assessment. š§µ

Apple $AAPL just set itself up for the ultimate "prove it" moment. iPhone 17 demand? They say it's incredible. Next quarter's forecast? Boldest in years. The pressure? Immense. January earnings either validate everything or becomes very awkward...

The biggest shift? I made it about thrivingānot suffering. Progress felt good. The steps I took were doable. The food was food I liked. And when I slipped, I didn't beat myself up about it.
