About the builder
I build systems, brands, products, experiences and worlds. Mostly because ideas have a terrible habit of refusing to leave me alone.
01 / Learning
Talent is useful. Curiosity, passion and sustained work are more useful. If something fascinates me long enough, I study it, break it apart, rebuild it and stay with it until it becomes another language I can speak.
I did not learn design, development, branding, packaging, business and storytelling to become more intelligent. I learned them to expand.
I'm not collecting skills. I'm expanding the size of the world I can build.
02 / Network thinking
One idea becomes ten. A website becomes a product. A product becomes a brand. A market becomes a community. A random conversation becomes an ecosystem. ADHD probably has something to do with it.
I notice relationships between things that appear unrelated, then build the structure that makes them useful together.
03 / Manifestation
I do believe I have a brutal power of manifestation. Mostly because when an idea takes hold, I work toward it relentlessly. I study. I connect. I build. I keep walking until reality catches up.
04 / Conversation
Entrepreneurship, consciousness, politics, football, human behavior, design, technology, beauty science, books, cooking, strange theories and wildly paranoid comparisons that somehow become useful. I am probably the right person for the conversation nobody else knows how to categorize.
05 / The life behind the work
My daughter is my greatest pride. My dogs are small emotional dictators. They are the center of the private universe behind all this building.
06 / Success
Money is useful. Freedom is the point. I want a life that lets me expand, travel, experiment, build beautiful things and make sure my daughter never lacks experiences or opportunities.
Apparently my energy arrives before I do. I have no plans to argue with that.
