Truffle salt, or salt that’s been infused with the flavor of white or black truffles, is expensive, flavorful, amazing salt. I think it makes most dishes taste better, and I recently gifted some to a friend who’s a huge fan of the culinary arts. And as amazing as this salt […]

What’s Your Priority?
A question that often gets overlooked is “What does improving my life look like?” It’s easy to use other people’s metrics, but it’s crucial to find the metrics that matter the most for your own life. Speaking for myself, it’s easy to assume that it means the same as the […]
Arbitrary Dates
Happy 2022, everyone. You might find today to be a momentous occasion, as it’s the start of a new calendar year. After all, we’ve created parades, funding and budget cycles, national holidays, and a bunch of other cultural norms around this day. So if that’s your jam, ride that inspiration […]

Limits to the Hiring Process
When reviewing candidates for a job position that got an overwhelming amount of applications, I realized how many rad people there are in the world. It makes me a bit sad that there’s only one position for so many amazing individuals, and this process has also helped me realize there […]
Launching Like a Slug
Our society tends to think about launching as some massive event. There are tons of entrepreneurial products around the idea of organizing massive events to gain critical mass. There’s visions of exploding out onto the scene, fully formed. Think BTS performing on a stage around a live birth going on […]
NFTs
When thinking about NFTs, or Non-Fungible-Tokens, there’s a lot of questions about the value of them – does it have any value besides the hype? After all, one can simply screenshot the piece of art in question and you can look at it on your phone in perpetuity. The real […]
