GRT Member Series — Giovanni & Colin

⌛ The Smart Watch

Jun 2026

Giovanni and Colin — Two people. Completely opposite. Somehow, this works.

Two people. Completely opposite. Somehow, this works.

🦁

Giovanni

Expansion

Milan-born. Reads the room before anyone’s spoken. Drives a Ferrari. Wears a Patek Philippe. Lives by one rule: Carpe Diem.

🐺

Colin

Protection

Birmingham countryside. Accountant. Lawyer. Both, simultaneously. Drives a Maybach. Wears a Rolex. Lives by one rule: Keep Calm and Carry On.

Together, they are the expansion and the protection of GRT.


Scene 1 — After Work

CEO and Giovanni, pleasantly tipsy, walking arm in arm.

Colin trails behind.
Briefcase in one hand. Adjusting his horn-rimmed glasses with the other.
Not a drop of alcohol in his system.
Not a trace of amusement on his face.


Scene 2 — Golf Round

Giovanni: “Commander, nice shot!”

Colin is in the shade. Reading the newspaper.
Expression: mild contempt.

The CEO complains Colin is killing the vibe.
Giovanni snatches the newspaper and throws it into the pond.

Colin watches it sink. Says nothing.


Scene 3 — The Smartwatch Incident
Colin: “Ma’am… is that a smartwatch?”

Ciara: “Yeah, why?”

Colin: “The CEO’s biometric data floating freely across the cloud is a known security threat. Remove it immediately. I would recommend a Rolex.”

Ciara: “…But the doctor told me to wear it. I think I have palpitations.”

Colin: “…Very well. Health is the exception. However, please disable GPS. This is a solemn directive from the CFO.”

Giovanni, stretching: “Here we go again…”

GRT — Expansion meets Protection.
Two roles. Same mission. Different instincts. Shared goals. Stronger together.
