What I'm Working on Now
Updated: Feb 6, 2025
People often ask what I do outside my day job, and it’s not easy to explain in a sentence. My day-to-day involves a lot of reading, learning, thinking, and experimenting (some successful, some...not so much). Most of it falls somewhere between experiment and obsession. This page is the zoomed-in version.
This season's theme: cut the fluff, commit to what matters, and chase what scares me (just a little).
Fitness
- 3 x weight-lifting sessions/week (and putting them down again)
- 2 x Zone 2-3 runs/week
- 1 x Norwegian 4x4 (or tempo run) per week that makes me question my life choices (but the data says it works)
- 1 x boxing per week because it demands speed, precision, grit, and just enough delusion to believe I’m training for a fight
- Sweating it out in the sauna 2x/week while pretending I'm a Scandinavian wellness guru
- Getting humbled by VO₂ max tests every 6 months
Business
- Prioritizing strategic relationships to enhance the diversity and quality of nodes in my network
- Mapping the overlooked edges of end-of-life tech. Funeral home logistics, digital wills, estate chaos. Messy systems, low innovation, and no good reason for it.
- Exploring whether there's a smarter way to automate style for high-level operators. Not 1:1 consulting. A tool. A platform. I've spent years understanding tailoring, fit, and the subtle details that shift how people walk into a room. Now asking: can this be scaled?
- Looking at micro-software for niche, neglected needs—especially places devs avoid because they’d never notice the friction themselves.
- Using my writing and distribution as both signal and sandpaper: to test what sticks, refine what matters, and surface opportunities worth chasing.
Producing
- A longevity newsletter that skips the "hacks" and gives people a sharper lens, better judgement, and restores nuance
- Monthly essays where I wrestle with ideas until they yield something worth saying
- Building a distribution engine that makes ideas spread like wildfire - every piece of content is both signal and testing ground
- Obsessively studying how ideas move and multiply - because distribution is the new moat
Thinking about
- Whether startup advisory is a good wedge (especially where healthcare meets design thinking)
- Going back to singing lessons and dusting off my guitar — sometimes the ROI is just joy
- What needs subtracting: habits, inputs, or people that don’t align with where I’m going
Changing
- Aiming for 3x/week, 0.5h meditation blocks. Letting the chaos speak instead of silencing it.
- Learning to make unpleasant tasks 10-20% more enjoyable. The work demands what it demands, but joy is an asymmetric advantage.
- Learning to communicate like a grown-up through NVC
Listening/Watching
- Every YouTube video and podcast by Alex Hormozi - he's on another level
Currently NOT Reading
- Adding books to my Kindle faster than I can read them. Production season > consumption season.
Seeking
- Conversations with people who are hungry for precision, allergic to fluff, and unafraid to be wrong
- Writers who'll call me out when I'm being lazy with words
- Rooms where I’m outclassed (and maybe a little intimidated) by everyone else
Things I Would Like to Make Time For
- Learning more about spine biomechanics for injury prevention
- Understand how to apply CBT more effectively
Bedtime question for myself: "What meaningful results did I produce today, and what did it cost me?"
Question I'm asking others: "What comes more easily to me than it does for most people?"
