Boxing gloves: Facing an opponent in the ring teaches focus, relaxation, and mastery of fear.
Benjamin Franklin: The self-styled archetype of American entrepreneurship and ingenuity.
Pot of Succulents: It’s more beautiful to stay green and live in harmony with one’s local environment and seasons (French concept: terroir). Please ignore the fact that this one is made of plastic.
Dunhill cufflinks: Elegance. Also an old James Bond product placement which successfully manipulated my consumer behavior, in part by being more affordable than an Aston Martin.
Jump rope: Jumping around in one place, expending great effort, all while trying to keep one’s balance: this is running a small company. The trips and tangles will decrease with practice, but never completely go away.
Avocado: Because healthy should always be tasty.
Half-marathon medal: Live to run, run to live.
Espresso cup: Caffeine is the fuel that helps capitalism’s servants keep pulling at the oars. Balzac felt it fueled inspiration. Must always be served strong, with a saucer and small spoon.
