I was at TopView 2025 last year catching the vibe, seeing the city show out, and tapping in with everybody moving the culture forward. Now itâs a new year and Iâm on a different type of timingâWTM for 2026? Where the energy at, who building, who creating something worth being part of? As JRael, Iâm not just pulling up to anythingâIâm stepping into spaces with purpose, looking for alignment, not just attendance.
âBehold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forthâŚâ (Isaiah 43:19)
