Rivr Conversations

Inspired by Brent Drever’s Rivr Notes newsletter, this episode explores the humbling story behind “My Worst Best Investment.” It’s a tale of high hopes, fast decisions, and a startup that was supposed to be the next big thing—but wasn’t. We’ll talk about what happens when you chase shortcuts, the costly lessons that come from getting it wrong, and why those missteps might just be the best investments in disguise. It’s a conversation about patience, persistence, and the power of playing the long game.

Inspired by Brent Drever’s Rivr Notes newsletter, Reconciling Dreams, this episode explores what happens when the dream you’ve been chasing for decades no longer fits the life you’re living. We’ll dive into the tension between personal ambition and evolving values, the courage it takes to let go of a long-held goal, and why changing direction isn’t a failure—it’s growth. It’s a conversation about clarity, identity, and making space for dreams that reflect who you are now, not just who you were then.
