People often ask what I’ve been up to… This is what I’m doing right now:

(This is a Now page. If you have your own site, you should make one, too!)

• Since my last update, I’ve just had a wonderful summer and have just returned from a quick trip to Madrid. I've travelled extensively the last two summers (and this one until July), so being in one place for a bit has been quite welcome. I have a lot of adventures planned for the last few months of the year, so I’m savouring this. As of this moment I have lost 12 11kg since I started to track my caloric intake in April.

• Currently Reading:

  • The Black Prism by Brent Weeks

    • Really loving the light/color based magical system in this book and very intrigued how it turns out.

• Recently Completed Reads:

  • Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch

  • Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch

    • Sequel to the Lies of Locke Lamora, I am really loving the worldbuilding here.

  • Love Life by Matthew Hussey

    • Recommended to me by a therapist who specializes in attachment theory and relationship health, I found this book to be quite enlightening. Though geared mostly toward women, I easily found myself in its pages and would readily recommend this to anyone navigating their way through love. He also has a long-running podcast and YouTube channel of the same name that helped me come to terms with some recent heartache. One of the things that sticks with me the most is his idea of finding a “builder” in your partner by focusing on things like compatibility and finding someone who wants to build the same things as you.

• Books On Hold / Next Up:

  • Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan

    • Waiting for some down time, to really give it the attention it deserves, but funny enough this is item #1 on his list of reasons why people don’t start

  • Fulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life

    • Recommended to me by a friend, and very excited to learn more, even if on the surface it’s not something I’d typically be into, the first few lines of the book have me hooked.

    • I had to pause on this because my audible account stopped letting me read books purchased in the US. Will resume on kindle when i’m done with the Black Prism

• Current Exercise Routine:

  • After a brief hiatus with food poisoning (yes, again…) I am back to doing yoga, rock climbing and hitting the gym. No specific routine, but consistency is my game. Travel always breaks my routine, though, so i’ve downloaded an app to try and help…

• Current Diet:

  • Been eating pretty clean lately, but not cooking as much as I should. Down 12 11kg since mid april

• Currently learning:

  • Passive

    • Deep into my A2 Dutch lessons. Still don’t feel very far.

  • Skill-Based

    • N/A

• Side Projects:

  • GPTs! Chatbots!

    • I’ve created a newsletter that summarizes the top 150,000 news stories of the day into 2 paragraphs and also compares google searches to these headlines in an attempt to identify a business niche that is untapped. It sends me a daily digest, but i’m still working out the bugs.
