The first set of questions are focused on me:

What are some honest, unfiltered things about you?

<aside> 🤫 I added some toggles for additional context on some of these shorter bullets. Wanted to keep this clear and concise. But you can still choose where you might want to dive deeper!

</aside>

• I love competition – but I also really despise traditionally competitive types.
• I love games. Almost everything in life is a "game" to me.
• I struggle with belonging.
• I grappled with death early in my life.
• I discovered late in life (2019) that I have ADD/ADHD.
• I present as extremely ambitious, but I'm actually just deeply curious.
• When I care deeply about what I do – it's all I think about.
• I'm obsessed with maximizing digital (and physical) performance.
• Nothing makes me feel happier than genuinely helping others.
• I'm a big believer in Rule #6.
• I'm the kind of person who loves a good plan but is always willing to change the plan, even at the last minute.
• Everything is connected. The world is interdisciplinary.
• I don't often work "9 to 5". My energy doesn't work like that. But I clock at least 50-60 hours/week.
• I get excited easily, and can talk really fast while still being eloquent.
• I'm a hopeless romantic – in work, romance, and friendship.
• I'm an intense listener. I make a lot of eye contact and care deeply about understanding what people are actually saying.
