20 years in ecommerce, now CEO of a CRO agency. Probably doing analysis in R or building stuff with AI. Or walking on the beach. Yeah, probably that.

What I like most about deadlines is the whistling sound they make when the pass by.
If we strip everything else away, the reason we need an ability to learn is to help us find and obtain food. We need fuel to learn, and we need learning to find a source of fuel…’ (Ratey & Hagerman, 2009).
I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.

Quotes and Mental Health
- On Luck
"'Give yourself a lot of shots to get lucky' is even better advice than it appears on the surface. Luck isn’t an independent variable but increases super-linearly with more surface area—you meet more people, make more connections between new ideas, learn patterns, etc."
-- Sam Altman - @johnrushx Luck is a multiplier. Lets call it M. 🍀 Positive +M is good luck, negative -M is bad luck. Output = WORK * M. If you do 0 work then being lucky doesn’t matter, M * 0 = 0.
