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 Play Nice but Win by Michael Dell. It's the story of Michael Dell taking his public company (Dell, duh!) private. It also touches his youth, starting the company, etc. So far it's mostly about the process of go-private though. I like his writing style.

Travel #

I returned from Medellin, Colombia yesterday. My wife and I go every year for a bit because we love the city. This trip though, we felt like some of the magic was gone. I think I'll write a post about this.

My mother and niece also came to visit for a week before our trip. It was sort of a last minute trip so it was sort of rushed and unorganized but it was great to see her again.

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.
