Here’s what I’m focused on these days:
🌱 Publishing
The last 3.5 years, I’ve published a weekly newsletter with 3-minute nuggets on human behavior, personal growth, and business.
That’s 186 weeks straight. (I’m nothing if not consistent!)
I’ve never gotten so much positive feedback on anything I’ve ever worked on.
It’s called Making Connections (but may rename to Patterns & People soon.)
You can check it out here if curious to learn more.
🌮 Founder Interviews
I’ve interviewed about 25+ founders on the AppSumo YouTube channel which exploded the channel.
These videos have crossed 2 million views and added 29,000 new subscribers in just a year.
(Few popular episodes: Marshall Haas and Chris Koerner.)
I’ve come to love YouTube.
Next I’m working on growing my personal podcast and YT channel.
🧠 Selective Attention
Over the years, I’ve consulted for business owners and athletes — helping with newsletters, YouTube growth, SEO, automations, strategy, etc.
But after recently firing a client (amicably), I noticed a pattern:
Whenever I create space, follow my curiosity/excitement, then run experiments… awesome things happen.
So right now my curiosity is pulling me toward business consulting and in-person workshops. (Picture: whiteboards and breakout groups.)
What’s next? Not sure yet.
But I’ve been asking friends this question:
What is the BEST business event, conference, or workshop you’ve attended and why?

Ps. Are we connected on LinkedIn or twitter?
