What do you do?
I fight for what I care, learn from what I can and work to build the life I want for me and my loved ones
Why?
I'm interested by a lot of different things (music, coding, learning new things, exploring the unknown of life, politics, democracy) but what motivates me everyday is the notion that what I'm building today will improve the lives of people I care about.
What should we read?
- Cultish by Amanda Montell and Shadow Network by Anne Wilson, two books to learn to recognize what shaped the last decade leading us to the present moment : where everything is at stake because we forgot our discnerment in the dustbin of time
