Conversely when something snaps and you decide to transform, you can do so without an external enabling change, though it’s harder. And you’ll trigger an external change as effect. Usually inner change forces outer change, but outer change rarely forces inner change.

This idea basically never held the slightest appeal for me. A different FIRE does though: Financial Irresponsibility and Ridiculous Extremes. If we’re talking mansion with my own space program I’m interested. If it’s disciplined and stoic spending and portfolio rebalancing, yawn.

I meant a personal SPAC and a real board to do what you do...I’m stuck on the characterization of what you do (at a sort of elevator pitch level). Somehow I think the right kind of board member for VGR-as-public-company is Salman Khan or something.
