My Tito Lar was a journalist in the Philippines.
His death made international news.
But before the headlines, he was my uncle.
And he wasn’t afraid to write.

He spoke truth into systems that didn’t want it.
He knew what it might cost him.
But he did it anyway.

For years, I avoided that path.
I told myself I was just being strategic.
That the timing wasn’t right.
That I needed more power, more polish, more permission.

Then one day, it all broke.
Everything I’d swallowed came rushing through me.
And that night, he came to me in a dream.
He looked at me, calm, clear-eyed, and said:

“I’m proud of you. Now go—kill it.”

I knew exactly what he meant.

Not destroy. Not rage.
He meant cut through.
The noise. The fear. The silence.

And I’m doing it.

But I’m not him.
He wrote with fire.
I write with thread.

I’m not here to scream.
I’m here to resonate.

I speak softly, but I speak.
Because I believe even those who disagree with me can still recognize me as a person.
And that’s how we find our way back to each other.

I’m continuing his legacy,
but I’m not just following his footsteps.
I’m walking where he couldn’t go.
Because he didn’t live long enough to see the parts that still needed healing.
But I did.
And now I write, not just for resistance,
but for repair.

That’s what QuietConversion is for.

Not just GTM strategy.
Not just founder support.
But the quiet, steady return of truth and humanity to the grid.

I use it to tune frequency so others can echo it.
So resonance becomes infrastructure.
So founders remember what it feels like to be seen without performance.

Because when one person speaks in truth,
another remembers their voice.

That’s not branding.
That’s restoration.

I missed cadence last week,
not because I had nothing to say,
but because I needed to recalibrate.

This isn’t just a return to schedule.
It’s a return to mission.

Because cadence isn’t just timing.
It’s trust.
And truth is the only thing that keeps it.

So this one’s for my Tito.
And for anyone else who’s been waiting to write what they really mean.

We don’t all have to shout.
But some of us were born to speak.

Quietly.
Relentlessly.
And on frequency.

Strategy matters.
But trust moves markets.
