I have been following your blog since it first came out, Michael. Congrats on your successes. Coincidentally, I also wrote up my 2020 recap today for my CTO-as-a-Service, and posted it on my website (ctoasaservice.org). It was a really strange year. You would have thought that everything would have shut down tight after the lockdown in mid-March, but quite the opposite.
For both of us, we left good-paying jobs in order to persue something that we felt strongly about, hoping to make some sort of dent in the word. Success to your future endeavors!
