Learning Everyday
I love this concept from Naval Ravikant and am actively working to move from 2.5/3 into spot 4. A lot of this comes from building a strong personal brand and being the go-to guy in your field. When you feel it’s time to expand out, you can bring that trusted relationship with you. What are…
Recently read ‘Rework’ by the founders of Basecamp Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson based on the recommendation of a friend at work. I already had the book on my shelf but never read it. I finished it in a few hours. Very easy to read. Almost reads like a compilation of blog posts which…
Aloha! We just got back from 8 days in Maui and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was combination trip of 5 year wedding anniversary and Babymoon as we expect our first at the end of September. We could almost picture ourselves living there. Almost. Spoiler – it’s expensive. Definitely looked up house prices on Zillow. This…
The past few months of remote work have really started to highlight to me how different leaders and thinkers make their decisions. Varying from speed and style to autonomy, I’ve learned a lot about how I personally like to make decisions and communicate them to the team. What I’ve found by observing other team members…
I am convinced 2021 is the year more companies than ever before will be launched and we have the pandemic and stay-at-home orders to thank for that.

This is an excerpt from my weekly real estate newsletter. I’ve expanded upon it for my blog. 2020. What a year. To most this has been a very difficult and stressful year. Heck, to all it’s been that. I, annoying to most, am a glass half full person. Maybe it’s my distant understanding of stoicism…
Something very exciting happened the other weekend. Now this was not years in the making nor was it a spur of the moment decision. And yet, I am stoked about it. We ordered a new Tesla Model Y! Before I get any further, here’s my referral link: https://www.tesla.com/referral/niklaus72480 Quite frankly, I was not in the…
I was recently sent this collection podcast clips and thoroughly enjoyed the concepts in Naval Ravikant talks about. He explains what wealth really means, how to create, and the characteristics to develop in pursuing it. It’s based on his tweet storm where he touches on these topics in short bursts. He spends time explaining what…
I recently obtained my Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP), one of the highest designations awarded to privacy professionals by the International Associate of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). More details here. I posted my acheivement on LinkedIn to a surprising amount of support. See here. I thought it might be interesting to share my application for the…
In late March, I started to think about how can I take advantage of this Quarantine situation. No commute, more flexible work schedule, lack of unplanned interruptions. I’ve also been thinking about diversifying income over the past 6 months – increase total output of the household in a low-risk manner. This combination turned me toward…
