// an ode

Everything good in my life
has Caroline's fingerprints on it.

She DM'd me on Twitter in 2010. Nearly 16 years later, she's still the best decision I never planned for.

Caroline, you've supported every single one of my weird ideas — even the ones that sounded absolutely unhinged when I said them out loud. You moved across the country with me. Twice. You sold everything we owned. Twice. You said yes to living out of suitcases for a year, visiting 10 countries, sleeping in 51 beds, and somehow only losing one Kindle.

You didn't just come along for the ride. You built the ride with me.

Caroline is a designer, artist, and creator in her own right. She built Wandering Aimfully with me and ran Made Vibrant as her own brand. She's not a supporting character in my story — she's the co-author.

Thanks for everything, Caro. Especially Leon.

If you liked this, you'd probably like the newsletter.

Where I talk about Caroline way too much. Among other things.

Jason and Plaxico on the couch

PPP: Plaxico, Plaxico, Plaxico

Plaxico was my first dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that joined our family in 2006. He lived for 13.5 years and was with me through all the entrepreneurial ups and downs (he mostly slept through it all if we're being honest). We miss him daily, he was the best boy!

Miss you, buddy.
