Events run
Eighty events, twenty thousand people, on three continents. I am a map nerd, a home cook, and permanently attached to Red Hot Chili Peppers, in a bottle or in my headphones. The globe is the honest version of a résumé. Spin it.
Last updated July 2026. This section changes more often than the rest.
A pattern I only noticed in hindsight: I keep getting hired into places where something is already running and nobody built the system to hold it. Payments, marketplaces, accelerators, and now apparel.
An event is a mess with a deadline and an audience. The only way to survive one is to get the right people to agree in advance, write down who does what, and build a run of show that works when you are not standing there.
A partial index, oldest at the top. Drag the years in Work to filter both lists.
I hosted a business podcast, a YouTube channel and rather a lot of live Q&As, and what I actually miss is having somewhere to say the thing out loud. So this is that. No format. No schedule. Not weekly, not monthly, not a series, and there is no framework at the end of it.
Sometimes it will be something that broke at work. Sometimes it will be a thing about how companies are run that has annoyed me for years. Sometimes it will be about chili. It goes out when I have something worth saying and stays quiet when I don't, which is most of the time.
Leave your email if you want it. The only promise I will make is that it will be entertaining.
