The internet’s Golden Child, Aaron...

From the seatback table between London and Budapest and the train between Vienna and Prague. When you travel, do you notice that more ideas seem to flow through you? Do you notice how the momentum, the “struggle of travel” (if you can call it that) and the perspective of others helps to create your own? Do you...

We all use our phones too much. We can rationalize it with “well I’m using it for work” or “I’d just be using my computer anyway”, but the fact remains that spending 5.4 Hours a Day on a screen held but a few inches from your face is probably not the best thing you can do for your eyes, body, and mental health....

Let me put this into perspective: Every day matters. A decade is just a string of 3,650 days. And, if you are 30 years old reading this right now - You have 20,000 days left to live.
