I was high when I wrote part of this letter. No seriously, I was 35,000-feet above ground on a flight to VeeCon – a business, culture, and web3 conference. This is second of the three yearly events that my first-ever NFT that I purchased gives me access to. I wouldn’t bore you about the utility […]
Do you work to live or do you live to work? In 2022, I spent 4 months in Paris. Talk about that work-life balance. They know how to draw the line between work and life. Swinging back to America later in the year – and boom – it was like capitalism was having an existential […]
I hear this all the time when I meet up with friends I haven’t seen in a while “You’re very active on Linkedin” My response is: “Ehhhh, I guess” I only spend 30 minutes on Linkedin (in a week). I find that the same people that say I’m very active, spend more time on Linkedin […]
My brother recently sent me a video of him in an autonomous vehicle driving down the streets of San Francisco No big deal, right? Well, a car moving, changing directions, stopping – all on its one is not something I envisioned 15 years ago. Although I know people that work at these companies, seeing an […]
“have no fear for atomic energy, because none of them can stop the time” Those are the soothing words from Bob Marley’s redemption song. Revolutionary music! YES! My balled-up fist sailed into the sky. That revolution did spin me into a quest for scientific knowledge. Can time be stopped? Do you know how your watch […]
What time is it? I bet your first instinct is to look at your watch, your phone, or a clock (if you still have one of those hanging around). These are all synchronized (agreed-upon) times. But what are we actually measuring? What is time itself? Who’s time? A Nigerian and a German were supposed to […]
Feedback is a gift. …that keeps on giving. This was pounded into my brain while getting indoctrinated into the world of MBA business at Stanford. “you have to remain open to feedback to improve and grow.” At the end of my time on the sunny campus in Palo Alto, my classmates and I had become […]
What’s the meaning of life? I find myself asking that question every other week. Is that a high frequency? Do you ask similar questions? This is a question I’ve asked ever since I was 15: “Why are we here?” It came to a head in January 2002 when I found myself face down in the […]
GM. That’s “Good Morning”, in case you’re not on Twitter. That’s what we in the “web3-nft” delegation do every morning. We wake up and get on twitter to post those two letters. Nothing special. Just a greeting. Sometimes with words of wisdom, daily affirmations, a picture, or some AI art. The replies are similar. GM. […]
“You are A1 material” That’s what my mom told me, standing on the stairwell landing at home in Ikeja, Lagos in 1998. It was a humid morning during my summer holidays – on my way to JSS 3 (9th grade). I was 11 years old and my main priorities had become playing football in school […]
