Hello, I’m Jay!
I’m a guide and a author. I’m additionally many different issues, however they is likely to be too eclectic to be of curiosity to anybody. Particularly you, reader.
I’m a considerably non-public particular person, so the particulars of my life could be safely glossed over. I run a number of startups in branding, consultancy, and training, so if any of those pursuits you and you’re feeling we should discuss, you might get in contact with me at my e-mail. Please ensure you add ‘Enterprise’ within the topic line.
Other than that, should you’re right here for any typical knowledge, you might wish to flip again now. I write about issues I discover attention-grabbing, advanced, distinctive, or humorous. This consists of branding, every day life, fashionable tradition, science, literature, and every part else. I’ve a voracious curiosity about life, and you will notice it mirrored on this website.
I write an article day by day, and you’ll find it right here. Typically I’m too busy or drained or lazy to jot down an article day by day. In these instances, I’ll write it each time I get the time and backdate it. I’m sneaky like that. Relaxation assured, day by day can have a consultant article.
What do I write about?
I’m each the topic and the item of those writings. If I look at the world, it’s only as a mirror to look at myself. Other than branding, I don’t declare experience. I believe specialization is a illness and a perversion.
What I do know, I do know solely by dwelling, and studying, and pondering, and failing, and even then, solely due to my specific idiosyncrasies. What you’ll find right here will not be doctrine or dogma, however a sequence of conversations with myself—on popular culture, on demise, on philosophy, on entrepreneurship.
In case you study one thing from them (although, belief me, that’s not my intention in any respect), then maybe we aren’t so totally different in any case.
This web site is completely not search engine optimized (I don’t have time for it). And other than being current on one or two social media, it isn’t promoted wherever (see above parenthesis). So if we do discover one another, it’s a complete serendipity.
You will notice me communicate of lofty issues solely to fall again into on a regular basis trivia, as a result of life, in any case, is made up of each. My mission is to go deeper into what it means to be human, to embrace imperfection, to fail repeatedly, and to sometimes succeed regardless of all of it. Not one of the concepts I speak about on this web site are my very own. They’ve been ruthlessly plagiarized from individuals I really like – a few of whom lived 1000’s of years in the past, a few of whom are but to be born.
I write as I stay. I’ve no specific grand design, no overarching goal. These pages should not a guidebook for all times; they’re a document of my very own flawed and wandering ideas, as inconsistent and changeable because the very nature of humanity. I don’t imply to offend, however in case you are offended by one thing I say, please ship me an e-mail, in order that I can block you for all eternity.
These phrases should not remaining, nor am I. I’ll change, I’ll contradict every part I say. I’ll revisit previous concepts with new eyes. However on this ever-shifting course of, I hope you’ll find not simply the document of 1 man’s thoughts, however the essence of a shared human expertise.
I’ve written round 15 books (as of September 20, 2024), and if I do really feel the inclination, shall publish them. If I do, you’ll examine it on this web site.
By means of all my work, one factor stays fixed: the will to see past the floor, to reject simplicity, and to search out humor in life. I believe my ideas on life is simply too advanced to be summed up in a quote, but when I need to strive, then it will be one thing from Tacitus: homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto.
So, welcome once more, and thanks for being right here.
