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!)

• As I write this I’m finishing up our annual feedback cycle at work (called 360s for those unfamiliar with the process). I have the next 2.5 weeks off from work and plan to spend as much time as possible in nature, doing yoga and dealing with some unattended grief. I’m very excited.

• Currently Reading:

  • Lies of Locke Lamorra by Scott Lynch

    • The first 25% of the book really didn’t get through to me, but now I find myself more and more excited by the story. I’m a little over halfway through, and am really loving it now.

  • The Algebra of Wealth by Scott Galloway

    • I am enthralled by this book, which is as much philosophy as it is practical advice on finances. Come for the financial advice, stay for the perspective on how to live a life well.

• Recently Completed Reads:

  • The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life by Boyd Varty

  • What They Forgot to Teach You at School: Essential Emotional Lessons Needed to Thrive

• Books On Hold / Next Up:

  • 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.

  • 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

• Current Exercise Routine:

  • Back to able to run about 3km now, so knee healing is going well. My gym has been closed for two weeks so this has been my respite. Yoga on weekends as well.

• Current Diet:

  • Been eating pretty clean lately, but not cooking as much as I should. Down 6kg since mid april

• Currently learning:

  • Passive

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

  • Skill-Based

    • N/A

• Side Projects:

  • aWellness.co

    • A site for a lot of the random things I built over the past months, including some chatbots, chrome extensions, and am now working on an app. The site itself was the real triumph, though.

    • If you know anyone in manufacturing and logistics in Europe, send them my way because i could use the help with a couple products.

  • GPTs! Chatbots!

    • Try out one trained on my brain by asking the little bubble down below what you would normally ask me.
