Disclaimer: this post is long and a bit rambling…🤷 A brief peak at twitter this time of year will reveal just how awesome and successful everyone else’s past year went. Kudos to those who crushed it. However I’ve always found content that highlights peoples’ struggles far more engaging and inspirational. My intention with this postContinue reading “2022 Goals and Reality Check”

Founder Break Up
He was always there for me. He thoughtfully considered my dumb ideas. He was my sounding board. It was only 3 days…but they were magical. In all seriousness it was a great change of pace getting to work with a partner, however brief (for context: we found each other via a founder match program andContinue reading “Founder Break Up”
Know Thy Customer/Write To Build
Scratch your own itch. You are your first customer. Build things people want. I realized last night that I never fully grasped the startup adages related to solving your own problems, or at least being intimately familiar with the given problem. My entrepreneurial focus is weight loss. I’ve never once had to deal with weightContinue reading “Know Thy Customer/Write To Build”
Strategy
I’ve been thinking about strategy the past couple of days. Strategy = thinking deeply before acting. It applies (or should) to all aspects of life: time allocation, fitness, work, where you live, etc. I strategized a bit here and there w/r/t my entrepreneurial process, but in hindsight I probably should have spent 10x more timeContinue reading “Strategy”
Half Marathon and Doing Shit That Makes Me Uncomfortable
I ran a half marathon yesterday (no headphones) and it went surprisingly well. My plan was to keep my heart rate under 150bpm and use that constraint to set my pacing. My only goal was to finish while avoiding injury, as I rarely run long distances. A brief recap:-Started experiencing some light cramps in myContinue reading “Half Marathon and Doing Shit That Makes Me Uncomfortable”
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”
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”
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”
2021 Goals (And first blog post)
I’ve set goals on a semi-regular basis (usually twice a year) since my sophomore year of college. Those past goal-setting processes were usually executed from my bed whilst in a pseudo-hungover state. The output consisted of 8ish bullet points that were then left for dead in an Apple Notes file and rarely, if ever, revisited.Continue reading “2021 Goals (And first blog post)”
