I hereby kick off the first ever Matereality Marathon.

“What is a Matereality Marathon?” you might be wondering. I’ll explain by walking us through what’s about to happen over the next five days (or you can view the video version of this message here).

I also conducted the first ever Matereality assessment, shared with the world on April 1, 2022 in which I took a closer look at Google (aka Alphabet, the parent company), here:
