New fire, old cliffs

On hiking, connection, and remembering why you started

05 November 2025 -

“It felt like the early days of entrepreneurship: everything open, fresh, and full of energy.”

A little self-mockery never hurts, right?
Honestly, I felt just like that kid in the old video:
“I lit a real firework!”
Remember that one? 😄

But really… that’s exactly how it felt.
After three days of hiking through the rolling hills of Sussex, we reached the coast.
And wow. The cliffs of the Seven Sisters are simply unreal.

But what made it truly special? The company.
Three days and nights with eight other entrepreneurs.
Talking about growth, doubts, choices.
Hiking together. Laughing together. Being silent together. And yes, sometimes crying together.

When I got home, I felt such a surge of energy.
Like the early weeks of entrepreneurship. Everything felt open. New. Full of excitement for what’s next.

Thank you, Outspire – Creativity Hikes!
