I'm passionate about online education and the creator economy.

I'm a technical founder — I founded an audio startup, Awesound.

I work on Corporate Strategy for Stripe.

I've tweeted ~4,000 times. I hope this site is a more navigable summary of some things I'm doing and currently thinking about.

About

At the end of 2014, I quit McKinsey to create an audio platform.

Awesound has evolved into a company I'm proud of. I help story-tellers and educators make a living.

Awesound lets you securely sell audio from any website. It's used by podcast, audiobook and education companies.

It's small but profitable. Much-loved by current publishers. Growing mainly by word of mouth.

I'm now in San Francisco, California 🇺🇸 (Click to expand)
Born 1989.
I believe in the power of role models.
I'm often described as high-energy.
I love meeting new people – nearly always energizing.
I see the good.
I used to be the definition of extrovert, but COVID lockdowns have made me really get to know my introverted side.

Technical

Business / pleasure

Podcasting (set up a call via GLG)
Working with creators and educators
Evaluating startup ideas
Management consulting (my last job)
Founding a startup, bootstrapping, getting a small bit of funding from YC, getting distracted from customers by awards 🤦‍♂️, iterating based on customer feedback
