And since to look at things in bloom

Fifty springs are little room

About the woodland I will go

To see the cherry dressed in snow.

Rishad, I am so eternally grateful to have had access to your wisdom 1:1 at such pivotal moments. Your exit I think is the poster child for how it should be done. But I wonder if also, exits such as yours are now a thing of the past. Like pensions have become and in most fields are now a distant memory.

Still, your counsel rings true more than ever even if some things are history. It doesn’t mean that a price will not be paid because the world has moved on. Thanks for all you do and share

Thank you, Rishad. It’s taken me a while to see it, but you’ve named something important—

Our lives aren’t meant to be infinite upward arcs.

Sometimes the bravest, wisest move is to exit with care and clarity. That, too, is growth.
