Henry Facundo wants time freedom.
A consistent pattern emerges when one analyzes his over three decade-long adult life. He is not one dude who tolerates being chained to any activity that lacks purpose or meaning to him. That’ll just be a waste of time, energy and attention. And to him, time is the most precious resource.
It’s no surprise that many consequential decisions in his life are difficult to understand without looking through the prism of time freedom. And he got really good at making decisions and embracing changes to afford the freedom of time that he desires.
Going from Strength to Strength
In his transition to the second half of life, he decided to dedicate more and more resources towards supporting others grow in the context wonderfully explained by Arthur Brooks in his book, From Strength to Strength (2022).
This blog is an avenue to extend support to those who are seeking it, particularly in his areas of interest as a family man, entrepreneur-mentor, and student of life.
You will find letters intended for his children and stories about his family; articles about decisions and transitions, personal effectiveness, and leadership; and findings about his study on the broad topics of happiness, human behavior, and the future.
Concepts such as “legacy”, “contribution”, and “fulfillment” are now front and center for him.
Why Pay Attention
Henry‘s story is typical and atypical.
He had specific strengths that allowed him to excel, in the conventional sense, starting from a young age in school. His formal education was a straight path that culminated in graduating with high honors, and then earning a doctoral degree from an Ivy League University.
After formal education, his informal, real life education is anything but predictable. His careers changed six times in three decades in a wide range of fields from science to sales and marketing in various settings from the academia to corporate to entrepreneurship, with remarkable results.
The above changes brought him (and his family) to multiple places, having lived in 7 cities in 3 countries. This is much greater number of moves than an average person will experience in a lifetime.

Decisions and Transitions
Henry believes that change is not only inevitable, but also necessary to live a meaningful life.
However, many people are troubled with change. The process entails so much uncertainty that many gets bogged down with indecision. Unfortunately, changes around us will become even more rapid as technology advances. Certain jobs may become obsolete in a matter of years, instead of counting decades and even centuries in the past. That’s why it’s important to learn timeless skills and useful tools needed to navigate a near-term future wherein many jobs and functions in society are yet to be defined.
So from his small corner of the internet, Henry is sharing knowledge, skills and hard-earned wisdom that he sees as essential to better respond to whatever the future may bring.
Therefore, why not avail of this privilege that only his immediate family and close associates normally have access to. So feel free to explore this blog and share contents to those who might benefit as well.
