In 2018, podcasts I listened to changed my mind on Big Tech, and I quitted Facebook and IG to move away from Big Bad Tech. In 2019, I dove into meditation and spirituality. In 2020, I began to feel hopeless for humanity but also began to feel hopeful after realising there were more similarities than…

A 100% Engagement Guaranteed Social Media Tactic You Need To Know
Post an Apple rumour. That’s what happening here👇🏼. A car selling site created a rendering of a car. They claimed they have used “genuine patents” from Apple to create the car.

Drinks Before Dinner
Throughout my corporate career, the most unsettling experiences for me were “drinks before dinner” at leadership offsites. Dusk, the sprawling green lawn awash with humid, salty, and metallic South China Sea air. Subdued house music, flickering candle lights, the scene was set. There must have been 200 of us.

Let’s look at…
Do you remember where you were on September 11th, 2001?
I do. I have a personal story of 911. I have my own narrative of how I participated in that moment in history. I was in Ann Arbor, walking down South State street. In the air, beneath the warm confident blue sky, a whisper of the dry Midwest cold to come. I have memories of…
A Freak Show #Tokyo2020
I admit. This is a freak show. I am talking about the Paralympics. I want to hide it but this is how I really feel- This is a freak show. I would be pretentious if I claim to be very comfortable and supportive of the Paralympics games. I would be lying if I say I…
