Last week I spent 5 days in the High Sierra with a group of ten men:

something interesting that I'm still noodling on: of my coaching clients who are single, at least half of them start dating and have been pretty successful at it. I think it has to do with their relationship to work and how much energy work consumes if they aren't intentional.

How to slow down:

I've lived in 9 different neighborhoods in NYC over the past 5 years, ranging from a $10M penthouse to $500 room above an auto shop where the whole building shook every time an 18-wheeler drove by. In between NYC stints, I lived in Hawaii and spent winters skiing in mountain.

met a coaching client in-person here for the first time yesterday. being on zoom is so convenient but there is no replacement for the richness and depth of being in real life together. I'm still figuring out how much in-person vs. online coaching I want to do, but I do know I

watching Fight Club for the first time and it is making my reevaluate how I live and my default assumptions on what I need.

it's been a busy couple months of traveling from Mendocino to NYC to Italy to Asheville, and then finally arriving at my new home Palo Alto! . just wrote up a relatively short blog capturing the last few weeks:

what percent of people do an MBA to find their future wife/husband? the answer is >0%. my guess is ~25%.

my friend Aish is approaching innovation by connecting big people and big ideas but in a new way. it’s part R&D firm, part think tank, part investment firm (in my own words). I’ve watched behind the scenes the entire time and am looking forward to the day I can have a little bit.

what are some creative ways to plan/design for moving into a new apartment? all I have is a simple b&w floor plan with dimensions, plus a low quality iphone video. figma?.

just signed my first lease in 6 years! the nomad era is coming to an end.
