I got totally derailed after I went to SXSW Interactive this year. Here’s a clip from one of my favorite speakers, Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, Tesla and Paypal - on thinking big and dedicating his life’s work for the greater good of humanity, whether it be through space, electric vehicles or the Internet. Yes, he’s worried about whether or not we are going to move a colony to...

Spinach Pie

I finished my fellowship, I was unemployed for a week, I got a new job, I dated, I organized fundraisers, I joined a board, I spent hours, weeks and months dwelling on my future. It just seems like it’s time for a banana break (according to my MailChimp...
