Time is something we are always chasing. It's the first thing we give up when a sacrifice needs to be made and it's the first thing scream for and ask for more when we need. Our sole purpose is to give time back to people so people can get back to being human. We do this by "taking the robot out of the human". With technology, we automate the manual, repetitive and rule based tasks that humans carry out on a daily basis.

Why gratitude is important to me

Steve’s Gratitudes

Canadian Thanksgiving

For us in Canada, Thanksgiving is today and no matter where you live, it's a great reminder to think about what you're thankful for.

Today I’m grateful for:

  • meals with family

  • recipes that get passed down through the generations - we've got them from both sides of our families

  • the earth's bounty - it is amazing

What are you grateful for today ?

Gurmeet’s Gratitudes

The feeling of connection

Today I'm grateful for:

  • I've personally found the best way to feel connected is to ensure the people around you are noticed. A simple "hello" or "good morning" to a stranger goes a long way.

  • Practicing mindfulness allows us to be present and in the moment with those around us. Being present connects us.

  • Listen to understand, and don't listen to respond. Whether it is a client with an issue or a friend in need, hear them out for the sole purpose of understanding them.
