Whether you’re launching a venture or navigating early marriage, you’ll likely enter the new chapter nervously, and will have a tendency to try to figure it out alone.  That doesn’t work. You must get planted in a fruitful ecosystem.

I unpack this concept and give examples of my own temptations to turn back to desolate lands.
