most people are waiting for permission. i was already halfway through.
orbit
network.
the social graph for builders who actually ship. quiet, fast, honest. a place where introductions feel less like networking and more like noticing.
visit ↗rise &
invest.
teaching the next generation what compounding really means, before life teaches them the hard way. financial literacy with a soul.
visit ↗print for
good.
a 3D printing charity i started in high school that raised $4k+ before i knew what a startup was. the first time building felt like the only reasonable thing to do.
read ↗fish farm
workflows.
two weeks teaching AI workflows at a fish farm in the philippines. best classroom i've ever been in. ended up learning more than i taught.
notes ↗the best people i know never stopped being curious in public.
you can outwork talent. you cannot outwork conviction.
shipping ugly is a form of respect — the user gets it sooner.
most things worth doing feel embarrassing at the start.
the world needs more people who text first.
big plans are easy. small commitments are the currency.
