People confuse speed with progress. Trouble is speed feels amazing, and its much easier to measure. There is a concept in sailboat racing “velocity made good” which I often think about. In sailing, the target in a race is usually directly in the source of the wind. But a sailboat is powered by wind and therefore cannot head directly there. So you have to zig and zag back and forth to reach your target. This means you often have to go physically slower to get to your target more quickly. This leads to the idea of velocity made good - its the speed at which you are reducing your distance to the target, regardless of how fast you are physically traveling. Building a company is a lot like this. PS do you like the diagram or would it have been better to include a picture of me on a boat with the glorious wind in my hair?

We sailed the Round Whidbey race several times. Starting outside Deception Pass at the north end of the island, the race went counterclockwise to finish at Oak Harbor, about 65 nautical miles later. It was a nice weekend outing – spring conditions were usually comfortable, and everyone would finish by dinner the next day. That’s not to say it wasn’t challenging. When the weather was clear, the wind tended to follow the sun. After the sun set, the wind would lighten up. Overnight, boats would struggle to achieve forward progress and frequently sat waiting as their sails hung limp from the mast until the next puff came along. Since most sailors spend the bulk of their time sailing with actual wind, it’s natural to feel stuck waiting for conditions to improve. In challenging conditions, however, understanding the system of a sailboat interacting with its environment to reach a destination can lead to non-intuitive (or at least non-obvious) solutions to the challenge. Modern sailboats can sail towards the wind because their sails use the flow of wind past the boat to generate lift (like a wing) that pulls the boat forward. They also use the flow of water over the keel to generate additional lift. Because it’s the wind and water passing the boat that generates the propulsion (rather than the wind pushing the boat), it doesn’t matter if the wind is moving past the boat, or the boat is moving past the air – the relative motion creates the lift and propels the boat. In the extremely light wind conditions of those nights, remembering how this system worked was key. If we could get the boat moving in any direction, the motion of the boat could create enough additional drive to get us moving towards our goal. While other crews either struggled to sail the way they normally would or sat dejectedly in the calm, we focused on making that first little bit of progress in any direction that would allow us to build momentum back towards our chosen course. So, what does any of this have to do with your career or your work? I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “bias toward action” and you may be thinking that’s the moral of this story. To some extent it is – if you are stuck, simply making a next step may be the next right step. However, equally important is understanding whether the action will ultimately lead to progress. In this example, the design of the boat is a necessary part of converting the immediate goal of any motion into the ultimate progress towards the finish. Having the big picture understanding of the tools and resources available to you, and how they interact with the environment, allows you to bias towards constructive action

The T-6 Texan: Loud, Proud and Still Flying The T-6 Texan is more than just a plane — it's the aviation equivalent of a classic rock anthem that never goes out of style. Whether it's the bone-rattling roar of its engine or the sheer thrill of flying it, the T-6 has been capturing hearts (and ear drums) since its introduction. This WWII-era trainer has become a staple at airshows, warbird races and even wedding proposals, proving that it's more than just a relic; it's a living legend. With around 500 still flying in the U.S. alone, it's safe to say that the T-6 isn’t just surviving — it's thriving. And let’s be honest, there’s something undeniably cool about owning a machine that’s as loud as it is historic. Flying a T-6, however, isn't for the faint of heart — or the light of wallet. This "5,000-pound tail-dragger with a mean streak" requires not just skill, but also a fair bit of cash to keep it in the air. With a baseline price tag that rivals a luxury car, plus an operating cost that could fund a small island getaway, owning a T-6 is more of a passion project than a practical investment. Yet, for those who crave the thrill of the skies and a connection to aviation history, the T-6 is worth every penny. After all, where else can you get the satisfaction of working on a plane with your own two hands, then taking it up for a spin that makes everyone on the ground look up in awe? From the dusty airfields of World War II to the glitzy arenas of airshows and skywriting gigs, the T-6 has done it all. And thanks to the dedicated enthusiasts who maintain, fly and race these iconic birds, the T-6 will continue to dominate the skies for generations to come. Sure, modern aviation might have moved on to sleeker, faster and more tech-heavy machines, but there's a reason why the T-6 still captures the imagination of both young pilots and seasoned veterans alike. It’s not just about flying; it’s about keeping a piece of history alive (preferably at full throttle).
