What I’m CREATING

Beyond the day job…

• Daily journalling and blog drafting with my favourite fountain pens, in no rush to release to the public

• Merging all of my writing across the web into this one, master Blog feed.

  • Next Up: Merging in my ~2010 “For Better Genius” comedy/philosophy blog, then my design articles originally published on Medium and LinkedIn

• Create and test a Formula 1 video series MVP by running paid socials to a landing page and validating demand through direct buys

  • The Question: Can I get 200 people out of 8B+ to virtually ‘buy me lunch’ to get up to speed with what’s going on this F1 season so they don’t feel behind or embarrased around their friends?

What I’m CONSUMING

• A Good Leadership Book by Dan Lake

• Sir Lewis by Michael E. Sawyer

• Formula 1 (2025 season) — I went from never watching the motorsport to superfan over the past two years; I can’t get enough of the leadership lessons, strategic plays, and technical breakdowns.
