Ever get asked, “So what are you up to now?” Yea me too. So this page answers that question. Inspired by Derek Sivers /now page movement.

Reading

Currently reading Born to be Wired by John Malone. This just came out (thus the Amazon link instead of Open Library, sorry about that) but John is personal hero of mine. The book Cable Cowboys, which I’ve read probably 3-4 times, is one of my favorite biographies. I really admire John’s savvy.

Travel

Heading for a weekend getaway to Little Corn Island next weekend. I’ve been to Big Corn Island twice (it’s gorgeous!) but never been to Little Corn so I’m excited.

We just planned a vacation to Panama and San Maarten for November. It is for a friends birthday and there was a good deal on flights so we jumped in. Have that to look forward to.

Work

Tech

I have fully adapted agentic coding into my workflow now. I feel like it’s helped me be more efficient. Especially for tasks in areas where I am not that strong. For example, front end and JS development. There are quite a few annoyances I have with it but I am working to limit those.

Non Tech

I don’t know if I’m burned out or what but I’ve been looking for, and finding, opportunities outside of tech to invest, or develop businesses, in. It’s surprisingly promising. Though much slower than the fast past world of tech. It’s a nice change and feels less stressful.

Podcasts

I listen to a few podcasts. They can change at times but for now, these are the ones I’m currently listening to:

  • My First Million - I LOVE this podcast. The title sounds cheesy but the pod is not at all. This is probably the best podcast I’ve found in terms of actionable business advice and talk that’s spoken in a natural way. Almost like I’m just talking shop with my friends.
  • Swindled - Never gets old. Such a good podcast.
  • Heart Starts Pounding - Great story telling. True crime mixed with eerie events.
  • How I Built This - Great show but I usually skip half the guests just based on my interest in the company itself that’s being covered.
  • Business Wars - Cool podcasts about companies fighting against each other.
  • Founders - Podcast that covers biographies and autobiographies of important business founders throughout history. Very detailed and passionate. It’s usually a fun listen, though quite repetitive sometimes.
  • Tim Ferris - (I actually skip majority of the episodes but sometimes there’s a guest I’m interested in).
  • The Moth - Recently heard about it on another podcast and decided to give it a try. It’s really very interesting. It’s basically people telling a personal story in front of a crowd.

Podcasts I stopped listening to recently:

  • Business Movers - They canceled the show. I wish I knew why because it was such a great podcast.
  • Mobbed Up - I finished the series. I don’t know if new episodes will come in the future but for now, it’s done.
