This is a continuation of the last post on payments and will further expand on digital currencies and its evolution into digital dollars. Digital currencies have evolved over the last 10-11 years. As mentioned in the previous post, Bitcoin started it all and introduced cryptocurrencies and digital currencies. Bitcoin was initially introduced as this “Peer […]
How to navigate a large company on your own terms
There’s a lot of conversations about entrepreneurship; in fact, it’s become super cool to call yourself an entrepreneur. However, no one ever takes about intreprenuership and navigating internal politics and creating new businesses within a construct of a larger company. Large corporations are always looking for people that are innovative and ready to build new […]
Social Media is the new history textbook
It’s been about 2-weeks or so since the protests first started, and if you’re on social media, you’ve seen raw images of the protests and how it’s unfolding. Some days you see police pushing an older man with his cane down to the ground, and other days you see teargas sprayed directly on protestors. Typically, […]
What if books released chapters like TV shows release episodes?
Netflix infamously changed the way we consume TV shows. They know that people love to binge a good show. As you all know, Netflix intentionally gave its users the entire season of new TV shows. On top of it, they added this 5 second counter that automatically triggers the next episode if you don’t do […]
Change is coming
The protest is working. I know you may be thinking that I still don’t see the other police officers charged. I don’t see a lot of action from Trump to de-escalate the issue. I still don’t see police reform. Don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of work to do, but what I do see […]

Twitter vs Trump
The tweet above is a landmark move by Jack Dorsey and Twitter. What an extremely tough decision to be public about censoring the President of the United States for the Twitter team to think through. I’m a big believer in free speech, in fact, it’s a human right and clearly articulated in the Bill of […]
I can’t breathe
It seems like we just can’t stop hearing those words echo across America. I’m utterly disgusted, angry, and sad about Officer Chauvin putting his knee on an unarmed Mr. George Floyd. I couldn’t even watch the entire video, it’s just too much to swallow. It’s hard to believe that we’re still fighting this type of […]
Time hacking
“The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life.” —Jean-Jacques Rousseau People often quote that time is one of the most precious assets that we have in life. Unlike money, time is not replaceable. I can’t get more time because I’ve […]
