Where I've Been

If you've been wondering where I've been for the past three months…

The short answer: I've been homeless and unemployed.

(Technically, all true. 😅)

After my last post, I got a flood of messages asking what happened. So here's the update: I'm alive—I just dropped off the face of the earth for a bit.

The Great Unplugging

In June, I shed about 99% of my belongings—including my cocktail shakers, an absurdly large disco ball, and most of my wardrobe. I stored my guitar and a few books at a mate's place in Perth, packed one suitcase, grabbed my laptop, and left.

No fixed address. No plan. Just movement.

Sydney → Bali → Perth → Colombo. (I'm now back in Sydney… for a wee bit.)

The original plan?

Decompress. Relax. Do nothing.

That lasted exactly 72 hours.

What Actually Happened

Turns out, my brain doesn't do "nothing" very well. Within days, I was:

• Digitizing my dad's business in Sri Lanka (a project that was long overdue)
• Shipping code for personal projects (and spending way too much time waiting for Vercel to build deployments)
• Meeting with founders and VCs in Sydney and Sri Lanka—not to pitch anything, just to listen and learn

But the real work happened in the gaps—the quiet moments that only exist when you strip away all the structural noise of normal life.

Where the Thinking Happened

Some of my clearest thinking came in unexpected places:

• In the middle of rice fields in Ubud, debating life choices with my mate Nate
• On hikes around Sydney with Roshni, where the best conversations happen when you're not sitting across a table
• On morning walks with my dad, hearing stories from his career I'd never asked about before
• Staring at build logs at 2am, waiting for code to compile (the modern equivalent of watching paint dry)

In those spaces, I kept coming back to three questions:

• What am I actually good at? (And just as importantly—what am I not?)
• What truly matters to me? (Not what should matter, but what genuinely does.)
• Where can I have the biggest impact? (Not just the most visible impact, but the most meaningful one.)

Building vs. Resting

Here's what became clear:

For me, "relaxing" isn't doing nothing. It's building.

But not just any building—it's creating something that actually answers those three questions. Something that uses what I'm genuinely good at, focuses on what matters, and creates real impact.

And I guess sometimes you have to clear the decks to 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 something meaningful.

What's Next

This wasn't just a break. It was a reset—one that's leading somewhere specific.

I'm building something for early-stage B2B SaaS founders who are still doing their own sales. Something that combines what I learned scaling multiple businesses from zero with what I've been testing and refining over the past few months.

More on that in the next post.

Have you ever hit reset? Whether it was three months or three days—sometimes you need to step back to see what's actually worth stepping toward.
