The start of something new?

I’ll level with you, I don’t know why I started this blog.

If you subscribed (there are a few of you), you probably get the sporadic email coming into your inbox announcing a new post and then wonder “wait… who is this?”

Maybe you subscribed because you saw me post about my business (centori.io) on Twitter/X or LinkedIn. Or maybe you came across a post about me, googled “Tyler Scionti” and here we are.

Whatever the reason, I feel I must apologize for the sporadic and haphazard nature of this blog. As I said above, I don’t quite know why I started it.

I left the safe confines of full-time employment last year to scale up Centori full-time. After a year of navigating the many twists and turns that followed, I have an idea for what I’d like to do with this blog.

Since you’ve subscribed, I feel it’s only fair I share my plan with you while giving you the opportunity to stay subscribed or opt out. If it’s the latter, I promise my feelings won’t be hurt.

Let me wind the clock back a bit.

When I was 16, I started a Blogspot blog. At the time my two passions were:

• Faith
• The Boston Red Sox

(Yes, I was a precocious teenager).

That blog opened a door to me that I couldn’t conceive of. I never knew that I loved to write, but the minute I pressed “publish” I realized I’d found a creative outlet and passion that would follow me for many years.

I still love to write.

I probably write around 15,000 words a month between my clients and my business.

But I don’t write for fun. And I miss that.

I’ve replaced a few passions over the years (sorry Red Sox, you’re just not that important), but I still care about my faith and of course building a semi-successful business (and hopefully dropping the “semi” soon).

As my English teachers would write on my essays, “so what?”

I’m going to try to hold myself to a weekly blog.

The topic and focus, you ask? None. It’s whatever is on my mind or what I learned that week. It could be an observation I had at the grocery store checkout isle, or a pivot I plan to take in my business.

The point is, while I hope you enjoy my writing, I’m writing for me and not for you. I hope you’re not offended by that.

If you got this far and want to stick around, thank you and see you next Friday.
