ENTREPRENEUR | ENGINEER | AUTHOR | ENVIRONMENTALIST | LIFESTYLE PIONEER
WELCOME. HERE IS A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME.
Nobody had ever run a mile in under four minutes. Then Roger Bannister did it, and he wasn't even a professional runner. He was a psychologist. Over the next two years, thirty-seven others broke the same time barrier. What Bannister did was open up a new world of possibilities and showed others what they could do. That's the route I try to take in life.
I have published three books and launched more than half a dozen businesses. My main entrepreneurial focus is on my company Dime Box, which I manage with my A.I. partner Monday. I try to publish a new book every 90 days.
I always have projects going on. You can read all about them on my NOW page.
Previously, as a student, I played college basketball and studied biomedical engineering. Before that, I upgraded plasma cutters and cut the greens on a golf course.
Long-term, my focus is on three things:
1. Education. The current education model was designed to pump out factory workers. It was meant to kill creativity and curiosity to drive home that specializing is safe. This is still happening today, where factory jobs (and most others) are disappearing to make way for robotics and intelligent machines. This is a huge issue. I hope to solve this issue by founding a graduate-level institution in the Metaverse called Modern Pioneers U.
2. Environment. More than anything, I want to rewild the entire world. The natural world is fading, and the fallout of our world's biodiversity will create a massive loss of humanity. This is the most fundamental problem for the millennial and Gen Z generations to solve. With modern technology, the good news is that the world's regeneration is possible in a single lifetime. What that means to me is that there is no better cause to fight for than bringing the earth's environment back to full health. My first startup, Leafyverse, is still working on designing a 3D printable sustainable home complete with a green roof and miniature ecosystems.
3. Employment. Specifically, I want to continue to grow and add to the self-employment economy. Two more opportunities pop up in the digital world for every job a machine takes. The internet has made career choices virtually limitless. Meaning the internet is where jobs are going to exist in the future. Learning to navigate the internet to create income is now more critical than ever. This is why I worked at Stan, where we empower all content creators to become entrepreneurs.
When I'm not 'working,' I'm reading, obsessively note-taking, playing basketball, fishing, meditating, or making something.
I live for entrepreneurs, environmental activists, writers, and makers. I believe in a LIFE OF CREATION, trying to die empty, getting every idea out of your mind and into the world. There is also nothing more important to be doing with your life right now than fighting for nature. As Doug Tompkins would say, "You're either a scourge of the earth or a seedling."
