- Lost vs. found
Hey royals,
Here's a thought - most people feel lost because they're quietly waiting to be found.
By someone. By an opportunity. By a miracle.
The problem?
No one's coming.
Not because people don't care, but because you are the only one who can pick up the compass and chart the path forward.
I don't feel "lost" anymore because I stopped outsourcing direction. I built my own map, and I update it whenever the terrain changes.
Here's what works for me:
Identity untethered from circumstance - who you are isn't defined by your title, follower count, or current project.
Systems for momentum - build processes so progress continues even when you step back.
Growth over comfort - choose "next" over "safe", and the path stays fresh.
If you've been feeling lost lately, maybe it's time to stop waiting to be found - and start building your own map.
From Bangkok to the boardroom
Speaking of finding your voice, I'm heading to Bangkok this month for The Beyond: Mastering Voice, Empowering AI - a stage where rebels, futurists, and creators collide. We're not just talking about speaking; we're talking about speaking with purpose.
The voice that finds you
This ties directly to my latest e27 piece: The automated speaker: Why voice, not volume, is the next growth lever
It's about why clarity, structure, and confidence matter more than chasing virality - and how AI like Seraphina can help you scale your message without losing presence.
The human touch in an AI world
As I shared in my CNA feature (Wired for comfort: AI chat services can make great friends but missing human touch comes at a cost), AI can be a powerful partner, but it doesn't replace the empathy, nuance, and emotional intelligence that real human connection brings.
The magic happens when tech enhances our voice, not replaces it.
An invite: Confluence 2025
On October 1, I'll be sharing more on this at Confluence 2025 - a one-day creator and brand summit in Singapore.
It's where creators, founders, and brands connect to scale beyond content into credibility and real collaboration.
If you want to stop waiting for the "right time" and start creating your own momentum, this is where you should be.
P.S. You don't need to be found. You just need to start walking with a map you made yourself.
