Welcome to my blog! I write about my latest interests and discoveries so I can deeply understand the world. My goal is to provide my thoughts and insights to help people reach equilibrium and escape velocity.

Escape velocity - the point where work doesn't feel like work anymore because you are leveraging your natural strengths to do what you love while adding value.
