This Field Notes episode was inspired by my conversation with Gabrielle Mills. She shared the idea that your business can’t grow bigger than you’re willing to grow yourself — and it got me thinking about what that really means for me this year.

Back in January, I set my 2025 theme as focus: choosing the things that are right, not just the things that are good. That sounds simple, but if you’re wired like me — an early adopter who loves shiny new ideas and the thrill of the solve...focus can be one of the hardest disciplines.

In this short reflection, I talk about:

The difference between good opportunities and the right ones
How Truvue has forced me to build with a team, not just brute force it alone
Why I’m looking for fellow early adopters to help us test, shape, and build what’s next

If you’re the kind of person who loves to try something new before it hits the market, this one’s for you.
