I explore my curiosity through my reading, writing, and conversations. It’s hard to know in advance where following my curiosity will lead me – but typically it ends up somewhere enjoyable, fascinating, and – I believe – beneficial for the world.

Conversations π£
To me, people are sacred, and conversations are worship. I find that everyone is endlessly fascinating if you know how to watch and listen and ask questions. My podcast is a way to explore this fascination with people, and share that with the world.
The Reach Truth podcast is a long-form interview and talk show that tries to understand the character and mission of its guests, and to bring awareness to good people, good projects, and good ideas.
Themes vary based on the guest, but recurring themes include: spirituality, technology, the environment, society, psychology, self-help, movement practices.
The show is primarily a video podcast, but audio episodes are also available.
Here are a few of my favorite episodes:
- Libraries and Friendship with Visakan Veerasamy
- Flirting and Wisdom with Ms G
- Posting and Vibing with Rival Voices
- Materialism and Metatherapy with Qiaochu Yuan
Writing π
I write about meditation, Buddhism, productivity, strategy, and more. My gold standard for my writing is to “write the piece I wish I’d read when I became interested in the topic.” I want to leave the breadcrumbs I wish I’d found. Here’s where to find my writing:
- Twitter: kind, introspective, curious, playful tweets and threads π¦
- Newsletter: cozy, vulnerable, inspiring, irregular updates π
- Notebook: shortform, rougher pieces exploring new topics βπ»
- Blog Posts: longform writing with stories and in-depth, “unreasonably long” introductions to topics I’m interested in π
Here are some of my blog posts and other resources that I think are my best:
Meditation
- An Introduction to Buddhism
- Meditation Tips for a Lifetime of Practice
- Practicing Love
- The Benefits of Standing Meditation
Productivity
Strategy
- Monastic Strategy
- The Art of Alliances
- The Strategic Theory of John Boyd
- Burja Mapping Series
- The Punk Strategy Guide to the Logical Thinking Process
