The Rainforest That Outcoded Me
As a retired MD from Google, I found myself in the Daintree Rainforest, where the relentless push of progress faded into the background.

Each step felt like a journey through time, revealing a world that simply exists—timeless and enduring. In this living museum of Earth’s early life, I learned that true wisdom lies not in innovation, but in reconnecting with nature’s profound past. Join me as I explore the beauty and lessons of the Daintree.
