Hey Matt, resonated with a lot here, I also went on a long sabbatical, changed my relationship with work, etc., settled on an Octopus metaphor along similar underlying themes as your Elements.

It's less about hedging my bets or minimizing risk, and more about creating a sustainable ecosystem of work that nourishes different aspects of who I am and who I want to become.”

Also I’ve been thinking a lot about what collective work could look like with a really great squad. Would be very down to jam on that and test out something
