LEARN. TEACH. REPEAT.

That's my motto during this phase of life.

I'm fortunate to have found a business that affords me the time and flexibility to dive into random rabbit holes (usually involving some new AI tool I find), make videos about it, then repeat.

This is the greatest time ever to be alive.

BUSINESS

I run Descript Mastery. I provide consulting and training for small businesses to grow through video.

I've found my life's work and I'm helping tons of people! 2025 is my third year running the business and I plan to do this in some form for a very long time.

I love mastering a tool (like Descript) then helping others do the same. The opportunity to do this right now is boundless with all the AI tools rolling out daily!

SPANISH

I'm acquiring Spanish. It's been a long road but I'm feeling more comfortable each day. Poco a poco (little by little).

HIGHLIGHTS BY MONTH

- Set a goal of learning Calculus - using https://www.mathacademy.com/ for this. Finished Mathematical Foundations I with 43.5 hours of study.
- Reading fiction - read two Corey Doctorow books (Little Brother & Picks & Shovels)
- Taking a filmmaking course in CDMX to learn more about video (but mostly to improve my Spanish)
- Went to a Sundance Film Festival showing in CDMX. Super fun!
- Working with a friend to build a software product that integrates with Descript

TOP THREE GOALS RIGHT NOW

1. Get to a high-level of Spanish proficiency
2. Learn Calculus
3. [SECRET] YouTube experiment that I will reveal in a few months
