Channelling a combination of the top guy’s energy in the meme below and the revered prospectors of old, I came to the name, Persistent Prospector.

I’ll fervently mine and pan in the hope that I stumble upon something of true value.

I enjoy exploring whatever tickles my fancy and sharing what I find—utilising my experiences, observations, and reflections to find and communicate the “signal within the noise”—rather than solely focusing on one topic. So, I chose a publication name and theme that facilitates a broad scope.

Whether what I find and share is of any value—or more like fool’s gold—is up to you, the reader, to decide.

I may strike it big, or be one of the many who try in vain, perhaps giving up just before a breakthrough. We’ll see. Why not stick around, just in case?

(If I do get lucky, I’ll endeavour to learn the lessons from the dwarves in the Mines of Moria—don’t dig too deep, no matter how valuable the substance is.)
