Anyone else working a 100-year plan?

In partnership with

The woods have been in a strange mood lately.

Sixties in November. Sunlight lingering in that soft, golden way that tricks you into thinking it’s early fall instead of almost-December. I’ve been walking up to the dome in the afternoons, the air warm against my sleeves, the chickens making their usual commentary from the barnyard.

And every time, without fail, something in me loosens. My breath evens out. My mind quiets down just enough for ideas to wander in from the edges.

It’s funny how fast nature recalibrates you, even when it’s unseasonably warm and you’re half expecting winter to roll in any minute now.

It got me thinking about you.

About what you might be craving more of right now. And what would help you create a little mental breathing room, even if you can’t get away to Wild Woods Retreat just yet.

I’m putting together a new resource for the Wild Woods community. Something genuinely helpful. Something you can actually use to feel more like yourself again.

Would you help me choose the direction?

And speaking of big breaths and bigger perspective…

I interviewed someone who operates on an entirely different timescale. Not five-year plans. Not ten-year visions. Try one hundred years.

Hayden Bloomfield is one of the rare entrepreneurs who doesn’t just think outside the box. He wanders out of the box, climbs a hill, surveys the entire horizon, and says, “Yeah… we can fix all of this.”

He’s 28. He’s building in public. And his mission is so audacious it makes most “long-term planning” look like a grocery list.

This week’s feature pulls back the curtain on the founder behind Pink Panda, his improbable 100-year goal, and the radically human way he’s going about it.

Enjoy this one. It’s the kind of story that nudges your own imagination a little wider.

Here’s Hayden’s full feature.

The 100-Year Goal Club: Why Hayden Bloomfield Isn’t Waiting for the Billionaires

It started with expensive urine.

That’s what Hayden Bloomfield calls it anyway. He was taking brain supplements, waiting for something magical to happen, and all he got, at first, was neon yellow pee. Then one day, everything clicked. His brain went into overdrive. Ideas. Strategy. Clarity. Like flipping a light switch.

Most people would’ve used that energy to chase another shiny business idea. Hayden used it to build an empire. The kind that could feed people. House them. Maybe even solve humanity’s most basic needs. He’s 28.

From Grass Roots to Global Goals

His first company, In the Garden, was exactly that, a garden maintenance business. Think muddy boots, early mornings, and a revolving door of staff during the pandemic. Hayden learned everything the hard way.

He says he was “ruthless and robotic” back then, obsessed with perfection, working every waking hour. Customers were thrilled. Employees… less so. But somewhere between pruning rose bushes and holding team meetings in the rain, Hayden realized something: what he was really good at wasn’t landscaping. It was people. Specifically, drawing the right ones in. Clients. Team members. Partners.

The psychology of attraction, minus the sleaze.

That became the foundation for his next company, Pink Panda, a marketing agency helping service-based businesses go from “small” to “medium” without losing their minds or their mission.

Why Pink? Why Panda?

Because it sticks. Because it’s fun. Because no one forgets it. But also because it started, as Hayden admits, “with expensive urine.”

The supplements worked. His brain caught fire. Suddenly, he could map entire business systems in hours. He wrote a 40-page strategic plan in one sitting. “It just came to me,” he says, still sounding a little surprised. That’s when he knew it was time to build something bigger.

Pink Panda became the company he wished had existed when he ran his garden business. It helps other founders design irresistible systems… ones that attract dream clients, dream team members, and the kind of opportunities that turn “maybe someday” into now.

A Hundred Years of Ambition

Here’s where it gets wild. Hayden’s not chasing a seven-figure exit or trying to build the next tech unicorn. His stated mission?

“I want every human on Earth to have free access to warmth, shelter, nutritional food, and clean water.”

He calls it his 100-year goal. He’s dead serious about it.

It’s not a charity fantasy, either. He wants to prove the model: build profitable companies, acquire others, make them more efficient, then funnel the profits into creating sustainable systems that meet basic human needs.

It’s capitalism with a conscience and spreadsheets.

Building in Public, Failing Forward, and Having Fun Anyway

When Hayden says he’s “building in public,” he means it. He’s vocal about everything: wins, fails, funding rounds, even event flops. After his first business summit, he woke up the next morning and made a list titled What Sucked and What to Fix.

There’s no glossy PR polish here. Just radical transparency.

“I like pressure,” he says. “We’ve got a few months of runway. If we don’t hit cashflow positive, we’re buggered. But that’s exciting.”

That mix of humor, humility, and sheer audacity might explain why his team sticks around, and why people are lining up to work with him.

How to Attract Humans (The Honest Way)

His recruitment strategy could double as a life philosophy:

1. Tell the truth. “List what sucks about your company,” he says. “Then share your vision.”

2. Ditch the baloney. No one wants to “join your amazing family.” They want to know what they’re signing up for.

3. Dream big. The right people want to be part of something that matters.

It works. “They realize they’re not applying for a job,” Hayden says. “They’re joining a mission.”

The Long Game

So what does a 28-year-old with a hundred-year plan do for fun? He practices yoga on old English decks overlooking the sea, goes on family dog walks, and occasionally sits still long enough to have a revelation or two.

“It’s like I live in a traffic jam in my mind,” he laughs. “But sometimes you just have to pull over, walk up the hill, and realize there’s been a beach there the whole time.”

He’s not wrong.

The difference is, Hayden won’t stay on the beach long. He’ll turn it into an idea, a system, and eventually, a solution. Probably with a spreadsheet involved.

Because for him, saving the world isn’t a metaphor. It’s just another project.
