I've always loved listening and learning from the world around me.
Most of that happens when I'm away from my temporary living arrangement. In traveling to 14 countries over the past 2 years, I've discovered that there's no single definition of a normal life. That's made it hard for me to trust the idea that there's one well-marked path that's correct, including whichever one I happen to be on. I'm someone who wants to explore every possible alternative before continuing down one path.
The other thing travel has taught me about myself is that the more comfortable I get somewhere, the less I actually pay attention to it. I stay curious when there's some friction. A new place, a new problem, a situation where there's no existing playbook. These kinds of environments energize me.
That's a big part of why I'm in Taipei now: for reinvention. I came here to get a real signal, to actually understand what people in a completely different society might need.

A few things worth pointing at.
My brainchild. Founded Northeastern's first social impact strategy consulting group alongside 4 peers. Scaled it to a 40-member community working with clients across 4 impact verticals.
Writing to cultivate a community and encourage discourse. Sharing personal stories, opinions on community, and building a personal brand.
Keeping myself accountable - built a focus screen-time feature, customized chatbot, and habit tracking for my goals across adventure, career, community, and health.

Off the clock.
About staying present instead of getting lost in what's coming next.
Exploring alternative paths outside of my default environment.
His case for finding the opportunity inside whatever setback you're dealing with.
