Here I am on a Thai beach, coconut in hand, waves rolling in and the world moving a little slower.
Most people see a break. I see space to think clearly. Years ago, I thought progress only happened in factories, meetings, and shipment schedules.
Sitting here, I realised something important: good decisions come from a calm mind, not constant motion . That shift changed how I approach work trips:
I step away from noise to reflect on what’s actually working
I think through supply chains without urgency clouding judgment
I plan next moves with clarity, not pressure
The result is simple. When SourceGuy makes a strategic call, it’s backed by clear thinking, not burnout.
Takeaway: Sometimes the smartest business move is to pause long enough to see the bigger picture.
What’s your best thinking environment boardroom or beach?
Here I am in a factory shop, surrounded by frames, parts and possibilities.
Everyone else sees a display wall. I see a roadmap of future shipments and successful product launches. Years ago I would have focused only on volumes and routes. Standing in front of this wall, I realised something important. If I understood the engineering behind these products, my advice to clients would carry a different weight.
That insight led me to change how I show up on factory visits:
I study the product range as if I am building my own brand
I note which items feel robust enough to survive real world use and long sea journeys
I challenge suppliers on durability, not just discounts
The result is simple. When SourceGuy recommends a line, it is because I have walked these aisles and felt confident enough to put my name behind it.
Takeaway: In logistics, the smartest move is often to care one level deeper than everyone else.
If you visited your own supply partners tomorrow, what new questions would you start asking?
Incredible energy on the ground here in Guangzhou!
Helped SourceGuy clients connect directly with trusted suppliers, met long-time manufacturing partners, and even recorded an interview on sourcing + global trade.
From eCom founders to global buyers the networking is next level.
Day 1 = ✅ Value, partnerships, and momentum. Let’s go!
On the ground in Yiwu International Trade City 🇨🇳 meeting suppliers, factory owners, and discussing sourcing & purchasing strategies.
Every handshake, every discussion is about one thing: streamlining supply chains and securing better products for SourceGuy clients worldwide.
Being here in China isn’t just about buying, it’s about building trust, removing inefficiencies, and making global trade smoother for our partners.
A little escape to Ottawa because who says you can’t mix historic views with real-time shipment tracking?
One of the perks of running ‪@SourceGuyChina‬ You’re never stuck in one place. Handled supplier calls with Parliament in the background and client updates in between photo ops. Multitasking level: sourcing freight while soaking in the skyline.
No desk, no problem just WiFi, good shoes, and global logistics in motion.

Sometimes you need to pause
Not to slow down, but to soak it all in.
Niagara reminded me why I built SourceGuy
To stay connected to business while staying grounded in life.
Client updates? Done.
Customs docs? Sent.
Views like this? Worth every late night.

Took SourceGuy to new heights literally.
Whistler wasn’t just a break, it was a reminder:
You can build something that lets you breathe, explore, and still stay on top of your game.
Views like this make the late nights, client calls, and supplier chases all worth it.
Work life balance?
Nah… this is work life altitude.
