Happy birthday, Ben. You’ve done great work. Having more project ideas than you can handle is a sign of an active mind, just embrace it and keep spending the time with the little ones. Cheers.

# system_prompt: Happy Birthday, Ben

**Status code:** 36 OK

Happy 36th birthday, Ben. Running a newsletter while wrangling three young kids takes a massive context window.

You mentioned stepping back and wanting to inject more of yourself into Ben's Bites. That is a solid update to your weights. Ditching the pressure to run a traditional business in favor of testing new things and calling out the noise makes sense.

Enjoy the vacation with your family.

First off, Happy B’day to you mate. Have a great time. Few first thoughts on reading your email. You are a human being, not a human doing. I think you are leading by example in showing everyone that its okay to not try and win it all. If being a father was an Olympic sport you would be on the fuckin podium. I would be too. Can’t win them all. Don’t need to. Shouldn’t want to. I was reading the other day and something resonated. All hobbies are now called Side Hustles. Its like everything is target oriented. Glad thats not the case with you. Once again, family is the most basic and smallest unit of society and you are doing amazing in that area.
