The Sydney Fish Markets are one of my favorite places in the world. I spent my teens year in Glebe a little 10 minutes walk away.

They had just moved into a massive new building but the seafood is still fresh and tasty.

I can’t imagine how busy the markets would be during tourist season.

First thing I do when I’m back in Australia is get a flat white. When we first started drinking them, they seemed a bit pretentious but less pretentious than a cappuccino. And they are perfect metaphors for the Australian mentality - inspired by overseas, we give a s**t about how we make them and we are snobs about them, but they are also simple and highly caffeinated.

A flat white with a mullet would round out the rest of the mentality.

Austria, it’s been fun.

I got to hang out with my one of my longest-running pen pals for her birthday. She’s my cousin and danced for years in Austria. I don’t know why I don’t have a photo with her husband because he’s one of my favorite people ever.

I got to meet the lovely crew at Loop an I spent a night being unnecessarily Australian with my new mate Dan and we didn’t even get into an altercation.

In my public event, half the room was Austrian and half was Slovakian. I think I’ll do an event in Bratislava later this year.

I’ve been living out of a backpack for a year now and I’ve been seeing how minimalistic so can be. My jeans ripped again so I now have one pair of pants.

I walked around Vienna today. I’ve been here briefly before. It’s cute. And, as you know, I need a bit more energy.

And after visiting DC, Jakarta, Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Rovinj, Zagreb, Linz, and Vienna, I’m even clearer on why mind of energy I need to be around.

Thanks to everyone who came to my classes. We had fun.

See you on Sunday, Sydney.

One piece of advice for strategists.

Trend abuse 101: telling clients what to do because you believe you are the trend.

Give me a strategist who lives an interesting life rather than a strategist who analyzes the world while rarely experiencing it.
