Got some crappy news yesterday from our immigration firm. For the most part I like(d) being an immigration lawyer, but there’s one thing that really sucks to have to deal with. I say “like(d)” because as most of you know, I don’t spend much time practicing anymore, and instead spend my time building tech for …

As mentioned last week, did some thinking about what kind of content I want to keep putting out for SG this year. And I decided to try a new podcast style.

I’m also just tired, and ready for a break. And it’s taken me a few years to realize that’s okay. In fact, it’s normal. …

This means I’m spending more time on calls, doing sales, giving demos, etc. Today happened to be a packed day for calls, …

Basically, they’re in the process of starting a business and want to get their solopreneur marketing efforts going. They’ve been following me on LinkedIn and Tiktok, and seeing some of the benefits it can bring (clients, leads, partnerships, friends, …
