Casino, so… might as well roulette!

Transit day today. We had a flight in the morning to Johannesburg, then a late lunch/early dinner at the casino (where I had the best grain fed steak I’ve had in AGES!). Bet on 8’s and lost!

A few guys on Facebook suggested I visit the Franschhoek Motor Museum which our guide says is owned by the 2nd richest family in South Africa. Turns out it was on the way to a few of the wineries already on the list for the day so I was granted my wish!

Early start to the tour today with a ferry ride out to Robben Island, an island which was a high-security prison where Nelson Mandela was held captive for 18 years. The first half of the tour was a bit meh, as we never got off the bus, but the 2nd involved a tour guide who was an inmate once, he added a personal touch to what would have been a pretty dry history class.

We then hit Marco’s African Place for some real African food (loved it!), and then we caught a Cableway up to Table Mountain where we spent the rest of the evening. At some stage the sun was really starting to burn me so I found the only stretch of shade up at the bar, there I ended up making friends with someone who was also hunting down shade, she ended up being from Bondi, Sydney. SO RANDOM!

businessclass
Business Class to South Africa like a boss.

plane
Landed in Cape Town. The Singapore airline hostesses were so damn cute. I had a little chat with one when the plane landed, she was wondering why I’d want to visit South Africa, suggesting that it’s a violent place! Geez, way to make me feel comfortable lol!

housing
You could see this housing from the plane as it’s right next to the runway, leaving the airport you see a whole lot of it too. Apparently 1 million people or so live in these tin sheds.

view_mountains
We were too early to check in to our hotel so we headed down to the waterfront for lunch.

BTS shoot with cancer survivor Leslie Lau. We’re (Spacewalk) creating a special 1 minute video for him to use on socials to invite people to join his new community Finding Space, a space from the busyness, noise, and pressure of living in the modern world.

Losing is losing

zentip_winning_losing
#zentip

It’s hard to lose in an age where coming dead last wins you a participation award.

My team recently got invited to pitch for a $30k job. Long story short, we lost it.

We’ve had a week now to digest the loss. Looking back, we went from; being excited to be working on a product that was good for the world, to putting together an amazing team of creatives which we respect to help us execute this job as best we could, to putting a hold on a professional photo studio, to submitting a transparent and itemised proposal, to sitting around for a week with everything crossed with butterflies in our stomachs, to doubt, to confirmation on the loss, to disappointment, anger and sadness.

Highly influential entrepreneur Gary Vee suggests that he fucking loves to lose multi-million dollar pitches as he gets to learn from each loss. With that in mind we’ve tried to get the client to open up and give us feedback on our pitch, if he saw anything wrong with it, and how we could have bettered it. He gave us a few insights on what we got right, but was a little grey about what we got wrong.

So where did it all go wrong? Well, perhaps it didn’t go wrong, and rather than sitting here post loss trying our best to gain wins from losing, maybe just realising that we can’t always win and accepting the loss is the best way forward.
