I’ve rarely taken the conventional route.
Sometimes that’s been brilliant.
Sometimes it’s been expensive. 😂
But after decades of building things on land, on water and on wheels, one lesson has stuck:
Different isn’t the problem. Unmanaged risk is.
New materials. New construction systems. New businesses. New ideas.
We shouldn’t be frightened of doing things differently.
We should bring enough experience around the idea to make different work.
That’s increasingly where I see my role today.
Helping good people turn ambitious ideas into something practical, buildable and real.
Dream different. Then de-risk it.
