In my last post I introduced The Diet Selector, which is a website (I built) that took someone’s lifestyle preferences and found the optimal weight loss diet for them. Around 50 people ended up using the site, but unfortunately most users were friends/family who were there out of curiosity rather than to actually try toContinue reading “Health Business Update”

Choosing a Business Idea
As mentioned in my previous post, I’ve spent some time researching nutrition as it relates to weight loss and body fat reduction. I came to the conclusion that low-carb diets tend to be the most effective and sustainable approach to losing weight, but it also became clear that nutrition is unique to every individual suchContinue reading “Choosing a Business Idea”
How To Lose Body Fat
I mentioned in the last post that my primary goal for the second half of 2021 is to start a business. I still don’t know what the business will look like, but I’ve been doing some research in the health world specifically concerning weight loss and body fat reduction. I put together a brief presentationContinue reading “How To Lose Body Fat”
Half Year Review
“When facts change, I change my mind” -John Maynard Keynes Back in January I published my personal goals for 2021 here. Given we are a little more than half way through the year, now is a good time to reflect and reassess. I don’t want to pursue goals that are no longer as important toContinue reading “Half Year Review”
How Should I Spend My Time?
I have boatloads of free time right now, so I figured I should try to think about how to spend that time. “Spend” seems like the correct verb as I will never get any of my time back. In theory my 2021 goals should dictate my time allocation, but in hindsight I never really thoughtContinue reading “How Should I Spend My Time?”
Achievement vs Contentment
I wake up and instantly reach for my phone to see if my boss has messaged me. I get dressed and begin working, prioritizing tasks that I think will push me closer to my next promotion. I agonize over my upcoming performance review. Eventually I receive my performance review and my boss promotes me –Continue reading “Achievement vs Contentment”
Alcohol
“I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me” -Winston Churchill Alcohol is poison. But I tend to have a lot of fun when I drink, and there may be some benefits to imbibing every now and then. How to reconcile? Pro/con list… Drinking cons: Bad for health Bad forContinue reading “Alcohol”
A Framework for Selecting My Next Job
About a week ago, a firm in my previous industry contacted me about a possible job opportunity. I ceased looking for jobs within that industry months ago (see my last post about quitting), so I was surprised and admittedly a bit curious about the opportunity. I began discussions with the firm, and have not yetContinue reading “A Framework for Selecting My Next Job”
Why I Quit My Job
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; whoContinue reading “Why I Quit My Job”
Backcountry Wisdom
This past Wednesday Brendan, Pesto, Hilary and I hired a guide to take us backcountry skiing in Jackson Hole. Our guide, Dan, led us out of the resort boundaries via different exit points on the mountain (we eventually made our way back to the Jackson Hole tram at the end of each run). Once throughContinue reading “Backcountry Wisdom”
