This episode is a pause and a naming.

If you’ve been listening from the beginning, you’ve heard me talk about grief, rebuilding, faith, business, culture, execution, and collapse. What I realized recently is this: I’ve been doing pattern recognition out loud the entire time — I just hadn’t named it yet.

Pattern recognition is the ability to see systems, not just symptoms.

It’s seeing the machinery beneath what’s happening on the surface.

It’s noticing what keeps repeating, what keeps breaking, and what those patterns are trying to tell us.

In this short episode, I explain what pattern recognition actually is, how it applies to business, life, faith, and culture — and why this podcast is now explicitly anchored in that lens.

Nothing about this podcast is changing.

This episode simply gives you the frame so you know how to listen going forward.

• Some episodes will be personal.
• Some will be business breakdowns.
• Some will be cultural commentary.

All of them will help you see what you’re too close to see.

Welcome to the next chapter.
