Sunday September 15th - A Final Parting

The time has come... my final and last blog post.

Don't cry. I'm sure I'll blog again on other blogs. It'll be okay.

We've come a long way together. We've shared many a story and an insight. You've watched us grow. And dare I say it... We're like family.

Anyway.

On this rainy Sunday, I'm looking back at where we've come from, and looking forward to what awaits, and a couple things strike me.

First, in relation to this blogging thing... it's actually not that bad. It takes some time to get into, but after a while can be quite fun.

Second, the future is quite bright. We've come through a lot to get where we are now. It's been tough. And I feel better all for it.

Third... I just realized... I haven't told you details about my trip to Chicago!

So, I've go a video to show you of one of the speakers from the event, but I'll first tell you this. That trip was a huge eye opener, and definitely ignited something a bit deeper in terms of being an entrepreneur.

I'm totally inspired by the young people out there giving everything they have to achieve their dreams and find ways to contribute to the world. And I'm thankful to have had the opportunity of this year... A safe space to cultivate entrepreneurial ability and knack. And made the discovery that Cape Town is in many ways a bit of a 'Silicon Cape' with a thriving startup community.

I bid you farewell, and I hope you enjoy this video of one of the amazing dudes who spoke at the Accelerate event.

Bon'Voyage! (I think that's how you spell it?)
