Most importantly, I practice what I preach.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Science and business follow the same principles and are practically the same thing - you experiment, you observe, you make conclusions, and you repeat. I help entrepreneurs build software, content, small companies, and freelancing careers with actionable advice. I try my best to distill new developments in technology for the masses. Most importantly, I practice what I preach. I failed countless times on countless projects with a few small wins, and I have come to realise that this is the norm :)
