Greetings Let me jump straight into the seven things I thought were worth sharing There are the things that I do for me and there are the things I do for a living. I tend to share more of what I do for me, never really talking about what I do for a living. But, for once, I wrote about a gig I hosted in

Greetings, The internal debate and the self-doubt is frustrating, most times. The trying to figure out why I do what I do, from blogging (erratically) to my podcast to this newsletter and everything in-between. That said, I am grateful that I am in a position where I can continuously experiment with things while I muddle through them.

Greetings The older I become, the more birthdays become about reflection on where I am – physically, mentally and emotionally – more than anything else. Last year, I turned 50 which is a milestone but there was little fanfare.

Greetings, Over the years, I have tried to be better. A better father. A better husband. A better friend. A better brother. A better man. I have tried to be a better version of me from the day before. It is an interesting journey because I am sure that if you asked people around me, the parts that I am working on are probably not the parts that they think […]

Greetings For the first time, in as long as I can remember, January 1st was not spent scribbling plans in a notebook. Up till about three years ago, I would also spend time on the 1st unfollowing everyone on Twitter and, for the first quarter of the year, I would follow people on the basis of their timelines and whether this appealed to me.

Greetings Yeah, I know. I am starting to sound like a broken record. One day, I will be consistent with this. The last few months have a little busy, in a good way.
