Prototyping
Noodles
A brand new approach to language learning, built around sentence mining, music and self-directed curriculum building. I developed this method while living in China/Taiwan and getting nowhere with conventional Chinese learning methods & apps. I believe this approach can make foreign language learning significantly easier, and as a result can help more people enjoy the life-changing experiences that come from truly immersing in different cultures. And yes, I've heard of Duolingo, and no, it's not that.

NVC x Whatsapp
I believe one of the greatest feats our generation could achieve is to evolve our emotional capacity such that individual trauma and toxic behaviour is no longer passed down generations. I believe Non-Violent Communication (NVC) is the bedrock of this process. The concept is to integrate AI-driven NVC prompts into chat applications to guide us real-time in communicating with less reactivity, inviting more compassion into our relationships and softness into our souls.

Honey
I always forget 95% of the content in books I've read. Writing notes is fine but realistically I never look at them. Instead, use Honey to voice note the key learns along the way and build a library of self-made mini-podcasts to listen back to, reinforcing all of that knowledge that would otherwise be lost.

The education system that teaches all the things that ours didn't. How to be self-sufficient, work with nature & materials, overcome trauma & limiting beliefs, manage emotions, optimize your body, build and create what's in your head, figure out your passions & purpose etc etc. All while teaching core knowledge in the context of individual interests as opposed to in boring abstraction, so that we actually take on board what we're taught.

At the highest level, I care about solutions that free humans from an increasingly artificial world and move us towards more healthy and fulfilling lives. I'm passionate about the idea that everybody should be able to go after the life they love. So I treat my life as an experiment in what that means - seeing what happens when you choose passion and interest over $. Where does it take you? Is it realistic? Can you do it and be financially free? Is it possible for everybody?
