Twelve months ago, this was my garage. Since then, I've: - Sold both sports cars - Reduced my monthly spending by $10k - Committed to doing 30% less of everything (travel, dining out, work, etc) And I feel so much lighter. This year, I decided to live life more slowly. Part of that decision was shedding things that were no longer serving me. Supercars gave me something that I needed. I grew up with the red Lamborghini poster on my wall. Owning these incredible machines meant that I had made it. That I was free. But eventually, the cars stopped feeling like freedom… and started feeling like weight. My friend Kevin Dahlstrom says that everything you own owns a piece of you. This year was all about letting go. And the reality is, I no longer need a supercar to remind me who I am. Here's the thing — I don't regret that season of my life. I had incredible experiences, made great friends, and will cherish those memories. Buy the ticket, take the ride. I want to experience everything life has to offer. But in the spirit of Marie Kondo, I can thank these objects for the role they played in my life, and release them with gratitude. Ultimately, it's not about the cars. Stuff, identities, beliefs, even past versions of ourselves are just temporary companions on the path. They serve a purpose for a season, teach us what they are meant to, and then we get to set them free when they no longer fit. Thank you for getting me here. Now I'm making room for what's next.
