Morning people

A little peek behind the curtain - much of The Cave is written first thing in the morning (before being edited after lots more coffee, thankfully).

It appears we’re not alone. 

Former chief executive of the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation, Ivan Power, this week got everyone (a nebulous but fascinating sliver of LinkedIn) talking about the ‘morning economy’. 

It’s pretty self-explanatory (and explored further by Smart Company), but tl:dr - running clubs, cafe opening hours, and business breakfast meetings are among the signs Sydney is finally embracing its inherent ‘morning person’ persona.

While the emphasis of policymakers has been on the nighttime economy (fairly, given the acres of lost ground caused by the pandemic and lockout laws), maybe it’s time to simply accept Sydney as that bubbly individual who takes immense pride in yapping before you’ve had a chance to yawn. 

It just…fits, somehow.
