  • … random note on building

    I’m scared. Deciding to build a company was the easy part.Today was not. I was screening technical cofounders and it suddenly hit me. Do I actually want to go on a long, messy journey with someone I’m not familiar with? Someone I barely know but would have to trust deeply? Then the doubt crept in.Should…

  • …on food research

    I’m really excited about food research. Working on a food tech product and I’ve been having calls with research labs and my word, the conversations give me the most endorphin I’ve had in a while. Food makes me so happy and i’m looking forward to building wealth off that excitement.

  • … random updates on running

    Less than two weeks ago, I had shin splints that got worse after running on the beach. Then I went out for an easy 10k, the longest I’d done in two weeks, and somehow the pain just disappeared after the run. The body is fascinating. I wrote that two days before my half marathon. Truth…

  • Wordle hard mode is actually easy mode.

    You know that thing they say about spending 90% of the time understanding the problem, and then 10% doing it? Wordle Hard Mode is a neat little case study in that. I’ve written before about how slow is smooth, and smooth is fast and hard mode captures the same principle When you’re not in hard mode, you…

  • Maybe we need to take things slow

    I am on what would be a 10-hour flight with my partner. The WiFi is not working and, as someone who always needs to be engaged, I am looking for something to do. We stumble on a multiplayer trivia game that is kind of like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. We start playing, and between…

  • A hike is a perfect first date 

    Yesterday, I went with a friend on a hike to Seven Sisters. We met up at Victoria Station at 10 a.m. Well, technically, because we just happened to be on the same Victoria line train heading there. We took the train to Eastbourne, grabbed a snack, and began the journey… which mostly involved getting lost…

  • What will we talk about?

    Whenever I’m about to meet friends, especially when it’s a mix of people who don’t know each other, I always wonder what the interaction will be like. What will we talk about? Will it be fun? Will it be awkward? If they aren’t close friends, I start to feel a bit tense. Like I need…

  • … on run clubs

    I’ve always been against the idea of joining a run club. I started running consistently because I couldn’t find a tennis partner, and I didn’t want another sport that relied on someone else. I liked that it was just me and the road. For the past year, I’ve run solo. I’ve always been the motivation…

  • … on obsessing

    Life is a series of obsessions Life, for me, moves in phases. Obsession phases.I’m only writing this because I’m in one of those phases again — obsessed with something new. I’ve been thinking about it non-stop. Tinkering. Refining. Adding little details in my head, over and over again. I’ve had the idea for a while,…
