Funny story โ
Last weekend, I called Darryl up after I told him I was going to social distance from my phone for 48 hours. I asked him, “Can you not tell that I’ve failed miserably at staying away from my phone?” ๐ He laughs and then tells me,
You didn’t fail, you just found another way to succeed. ๐ก
He’s right. ๐ฏ
I mean, I’ve been stuck in a rut for the longest time but I didn’t need the full 48 hours phone-free to break up my routine and rediscover the things that bring me joy. It always feels good when I honor people by telling them exactly how they made a difference in my life.

I met Darryl about three years ago in 1871’s Kitchen 2.0. (1871 Chicago is the tech incubator we both work out of.) He randomly walked up to me and asked me if I had a doppleganger who taught calculus in the building. ๐คฃ It was there that I learned that he’s the Founder and CEO of mwseqโข (pronounced *music*), a powerful online community that’s setting out to Harmonize the Worldโข.
