I started off loving the hourglass. And it got progressively interesting and better from there. If there is an indicator of great intelligence, it is humility. And it comes through in this essay, Latham. That, and the love you have for your family and humanity.

When we next speak, I will share why this was such an inspirational read this particular morning. Thank you for coming into my orbit in 2022. You are part of the hope I see bubbling on the edges.

I found these to be very engaging, human, and authentic stories Latham. It did accomplish getting to know (and like) you even better. I appreciate your vulnerability in telling them.

Increasing your weights increases your confidence. So true!

I really enjoyed each of the stories that you shared. I really resonated with your section on getting fired from your dream job. There's so much shared ego in the corporate world and when you leave it, there's so much deprogramming that needs to happen. You captured that so well and I think your other experiences speak to the moments that really matter in life. Looking forward to more of your work in 2023!

I love this post and I am so glad you shared as much as you did, because I cannot wait to keep reading your Substack after this. It resonated and I felt a kindred sense about you and your words. Nice to meet you, from The Messy Human.
