At R3i, we’ve mastered a simple yet powerful ritual: reflection. Every morning on Planet43, Will Green kicks off the day with our team by asking everyone to share their "Rose, Thorn, and Champagne" moments of the week. It’s more than just an icebreaker; it’s a moment of raw honesty and self-awareness that sets the tone for the day. The Rose? Your win, your success, your high point. The Thorn? That one thing gnawing at you, pushing you, making you uncomfortable. And Champagne? What are you truly excited about, the next big milestone you’re celebrating before it even happens? Why is this ritual important? Because reflection isn't a luxury; it's a superpower. It allows us to pause, take stock, and recalibrate. In a world obsessed with forward motion, stopping to reflect on where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and where we’re headed is a game-changer. It forces us to acknowledge our thorns—the challenges that often hold the most potential for growth—and celebrate our roses, the wins that keep us motivated. And don’t forget that Champagne moment—because if we’re not excited about the future, what are we even doing here? So I ask you, what are your Rose, Thorn, and Champagne moments this week? My Rose: Our founders, FieldFactors DeployTech Flexpenser AB, Quantum Brilliance, EcoSpera, R3i Ventures, and The Coring Company, all made massive strides in their fundraising this week! Thorn: Admin - Admin - Admin - those tasks my new EA will most certainly be delegated. Champagne: Rocking a live show with my 9-year-old daughter, Lindsey Stirling ✔and good friends in Luxembourg. In one showstopping performance, Lindsay shared the art of breath while she played the violin - 2000 of us all mastered the art of: in-in-in- out... I LOVED the workshops with the fabulous Graham Kennedy and Steve Monaghan, I am excited about the expansion of our TRIUM Angels network and the launch of our new Syndicate with Sydecar. I also loved playing tag on a #DigitalTransformation and Startup Panel today with EGN Group and the fabulous Sara Gori (always learn so much!) As a founder so high on initiation, I am sincerely enjoying all those moments to reflect - to experience #gratitude. What is your Rose, Thorn, and Champagne? You might be surprised at the clarity, the joy, and the focus it brings.
