Two weeks.

That's what's left of my Adobe career. Two weeks of handoffs, goodbyes, and the strange ritual of turning in equipment that's been part of my daily life for years.

I thought I'd feel more anxious by now. Instead, I feel something closer to peace.

Not certainty - I don't have that. I don't know if Domus Formation will find the traction it needs. I don't know if Ad Alta will resonate with the leaders I want to serve. I don't know what the revenue curve looks like or whether I've planned well enough.

But I know I'm supposed to be doing this.

That's a different kind of knowing. It's not a spreadsheet. It's not a five-year plan. It's the quiet confidence that comes from discernment - from testing a direction in prayer, in conversation, in the small experiments that reveal whether something is real.

A mentor once told me: "Clarity before courage." You don't need to see the whole path. You need to see the next step clearly enough to take it.

I can see the next step.

Soon, I'll walk out of one building and into another season. I'll be a founder, not an employee. I'll be responsible for everything - and supported by no one's infrastructure but my own.

It's terrifying. And it's right.

If you're approaching a threshold like this - whether it's ten days away or one year - I want you to know: the fear doesn't disqualify the call. They exist together. The question isn't whether you're afraid. The question is whether you're clear.

Get clear first. The courage follows.

Ad alta.
