Thank you for sharing your experience… I’m doing this dance at the moment. A career that supports me well financially (for now) but is at risk of being swallowed up by ai and/or me falling out of love with it. Really glad you’ve found your thing - I think it’s super brave to do that.

Thank you! It was really scary at first, but that whole “life is too short” mindset really put things in perspective for me. I’m rooting you on as you make those hard decisions!

Thank you! I’m practising flexing my risk-taking muscles 😅. Totally agree though - do the thing you love - you get one shot.

When I am back in NYC after harvest, I would love to grab a glass and talk more about your transition from journalism to wine! Seems like the best of us started in journalism = )

I would love that! Yes it seems the journalism to wine pipeline is strong. 😂 I hope harvest goes well!

Thank you! Can’t believe I am starting harvest on Wednesday. Earliest in my career ever!
