I’m early in my career and I’ve always wondered how people have these massive networks and relationships with people that are doing game-changing things in the world.

VRchat
As mentioned in my previous post, I’m especially bullish on VR during this COVID-19 scare. People crave human interaction and VR will help deliver that in a new experience. I bought an Oculus Quest as I wanted to put my money where my mouth is. I didn’t just stop there, I had my weekly catch […]
Stay two – steps ahead
I’ve been binging the show Money Heist with my family while we practice good social distancing.

Since printing cash, takes time the robbers craft a series of traps to […]
