Here’s a performance of the first song I ever wrote called “Blind” that I just did this past Wednesday at “The Shift” in Lisbon: And here is that same song performed live for the first time 30 years ago (the 44min mark): Absolutely surreal… I also performed my first ever spoken word original poetry piece […] The post 30 years of music appeared first on Scrollin' On Dubs .
Haven’t written on here in ages and figured I’d post the last three 5min talks I’ve given for Lisbon Lightning Talks. In reverse chronological order: This is a talk arguing for that the 3 most powerful force multipliers one can learn are mental models, spaced repetition cards and nocode. Slides here. This is an attempt […] The post My last 3 Lightning Talks in Lisbon appeared first on Scrollin' On…
It’s been just over a year since I gave up Facebook and Instagram and I thought I’d share some observations here about the experience for those considering trying a social media fast after the holidays. TLDR; It has its pro’s and con’s. I’ve treated it as a 1-yr “elimination diet” experiment. My plan is to […] The post A year without Facebook and Instagram appeared first on Scrollin' On Dubs .

This is a recording of the story I told on 12/18/20 for the Lisbon Digital Nomads Christmas Storytellers event of climbing and falling off the world’s largest active volcano: That was both the closest I’ve come to death as well as the most physically demanding challenge I’ve ever undertaken. Shoutout to Frank wherever you are. […] The post Summiting Mount Cotopaxi appeared first on Scrollin' On…
The TL;DR I am ditching social media because I believe the benefits no longer outweigh the costs. It comes down to two main issues: data privacy and psychological well being. Great Hack and Social Dilemma are two great documentaries on Netflix that explore these two issues respectively.

I’ve been a mentor for their companies for the past two years and I spent October working with nine of their companies conducting a pilot program playing the EIR role.

That’s a wrap on the Bali chapter for me. What was originally intended to be a 2mo stay turned into an inadvertent 6mo stint due to Covid. Here’s the condensed summary of my last few weeks there: I spent the 2nd half of June living in this ridiculous villa with @helensimkins , @christabellatravels and @nikkibartol.

Here’s the monthly update from me: Beaches are finally re-opened in Bali and we’ve been capitalizing on that for sunsets recently. A couple of us did a trip to Bingin beach near Uluwatu and got to watch the surfers absolutely shredding there. There is a cute puppy named Alma that has joined our little tribe […] The post Bali weeks 16, 17 ,18, 19, 20 appeared first on Scrollin' On Dubs .

I celebrated a b-day at @canggucamp308 We had our first ever entirely-virtual @charitymakeover_ and our volunteers proved that these events are indeed possible to execute entirely remotely. There’s a great recap video as the last post on […] The post Bali weeks 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 appeared first on…
