What I’m Doing Now

Updated September 2nd, 2024, from Washington, DC.

Graduated from college last May / Summer is over

  • Writing The Jailbroken Guide to UIUC, genuinely excited about it. It'll be like anything ever created.
  • Currently working on AviVox, a tool to allow you to create community-run X/Twitter accounts. Learn more here
  • Went to the National Book Festival, insanely amazing! The number of interesting people was through the roof, people interested in ideas, and made me excited about the world of books! No wonder why people want to become authors, especially after attending an event like that! We need more things like this where status is given to careers such as being a writer, journalist, builder, engineer, etc.
  • Published a new episode of The UIUC Talkshow with Leon Dash. One of the best we've done!
  • Went around asking people what they'd do with unlimited money and time. Their answer was shockingly similar. Watch it here.
  • If you're in DC or know anyone interesting there, let me know.

Fun

  • Reading Bolivar by Marie Arana. Inspired me to read it after I met her. Although I grew up learning about Bolivar, it's so cool to read the stories again, especially at this time. Will we need another Simon Bolivar in Venezuela?
  • Still reading Shantaram and War & Peace. Finished Animal Farm and Siddharta. Siddharta touched me deeply.

Questions I'm thinking about

  • What is the best form of learning? More like, how do I want to learn in the next few months or years? Is there anyone I want to learn from, is there a person, a company, or a writer?
  • How can we make museums feel more like a Disney-like experience? More interactive? More impactful? More learning? We can't just be reading stuff.
  • How can I create a profitable business to sustain myself while writing books and essays, making interviews and videos, and fun projects?
