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 American Kingpin by Nick Bilton. It's the story of The Silk Road dark web site and it's founder, Ross Ulbricht. So far so good. Similar style to another Nick Bilton book I read earlier this year (Hatching Twitter). I'm only about 20% in but it's definitely a fun read so far.

Travel #

I am heading to Medellin in a few weeks to spend the second half of May there. My wife and I like to go to Medellin at least once a year. It's always a fun time in the city of eternal spring.

I also have my mother and niece coming to visit me next week. We had to delay her trip about 2 months due to a passport renewal issue but it's all sorted out now. It will be good to spend some time with them.

Work #

Is busy at the moment. A nice, but stressful, change.

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.
• Tim Ferris (I actually skip majority of the episodes but sometimes there's a guest I'm interested in).
• Business Wars - Cool podcasts about companies fighting against each other.
• Business Movers - Podcast that tells the stories of how companies went from one phase/stage to the next. Interesting because it covers very large brands and usually their humble origins.
