Update VII: The journey so far

Since the late 90's we have been in the Experience Economy. Where people are getting married later and valuing experiences like travel over owning things.

May: The Northeast coast

I’ve made a habit of visiting the coast numerous times already this year. Something I wouldn’t have felt obliged to do a couple of years back.

The decisions we make are motivated by each of these contrasting perspectives. I typically listen to my head, thinking about my decisions logically [...]

Time to look back
