About Me

Hello and welcome.

I’m Shawn, and I started this blog because I want to inspire and motivate you through curiosity.

Whether you’re looking for tips on how to be more productive, perspective on a big career move, or just some thoughts on bitcoin and whether or not you should buy some (hint: you shouldn’t), this blog is dedicated to sparking curiosity for people who love to grow through learning.


A little about me

I’m a naturally curious person.

I can spend hours wandering through a bookstore or falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes. Maybe that describes you, too. In that case, welcome, kindred spirit! If that doesn’t describe you, I’m equally happy you’re here. Either way, I have a lot of cross-disciplinary knowledge and I want to share it with you in a helpful way.

I love teaching and learning.

I worked at Google for 6 years in People Operations (AKA Human Resources), and I was a teacher prior to that. I’m fascinated by what makes people tick, and I’m passionate about using that knowledge to help others learn and grow into the best version of themselves.

I’m passionate about self-improvement.

I believe that life should be celebrated as an ongoing project of discovery and reinvention. I am always working on myself and striving to get better in whatever I do, and I’ve learned a lot over the years through therapy, coaching, yoga, meditation, and strength training.
