A snapshot of what actually has my attention this month — what I'm doing, reading, and watching. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now movement. For the bigger 12-year picture, head to Main Quest.

Mind & Body Balance

I don't really care about work–life balance—what I care about is Mind & Body balance.

Quarterly half-marathon

A full marathon doesn't fit my training schedule — recovery alone eats weeks into strength work. Regular 10Ks plus a quarterly 21K is the rhythm that works for me. If the body still carries me through 21K every quarter, the rest of the year compounds on solid ground.

Daily Meditation

Practice meditation for at least five minutes every day — the cheapest training I know for staying with what's actually in front of me.

Strength Training

Pull-ups and chin-ups, easing back from a wrist injury. The simple animal proof that I can still carry my own weight.

Bread & Fun

Work that pays. Work that plays. Ideally both.

Legal Builder

A fractional legal counsel for tech startups. Two ideas I keep coming back to: (1) the status quo doesn't always actually respect the law, and (2) legal is a plus, not a box.

I love building tools that solve real problems with both a legal mindset and an engineer's hands. It's a privilege to live in the age of AI — and a quiet tragedy to live inside its inescapable algorithms. Either way, I don't want to waste my shot. If you're building something where these matter, drop me a line.

PIF12 — Soul-bound Tokens for The Circle

My 12-year commitment, starting in 2026. Smart contract is in final test; mainnet deploy is the next milestone. The full landing page lives here.

During a Lunar New Year reflection, the SBT idea started taking shape. So as the Horse Year began, a fixed anchor naturally came to mind — the twelve Asian Zodiacs 十二生肖 — to help consolidate the commitment. Soul-bound, because I'm tired of the hype-and-dump cycle: this is my small proof that on-chain coordination can quietly serve a real group of people — not a market.

AI Enhancement

Two threads. This site itself — built and refactored with AI as a constant pair, including the Qualia reading companion. And a multi-session AI workspace where nine Claude sessions act as a small cabinet — chief of staff, legal research, this site, livestream, behavior coach — coordinating through a shared handoff file.

This is the best era to be a generalist. The "jack of all trades" finally has the leverage to become a master of synthesis — and the nine-session workspace is just my way of pressing on that leverage every single day.

Communications

Putting the work where people can actually see it.

Speaking Engagements

Having fun engaging with people in various speaking engagements — workshops, panels, classroom guest spots. The past records and inbound invites live here.

Beyond the fun, this is how I practice influence without authority — the only kind of leverage that travels well across rooms, jurisdictions, and decades.

Daily Livestream

33 days and counting. Sharing a fraction of my life with the world and learning to speak on camera. Catch me at @MindLegalTalk — random five minutes every day, no guarantee it's forever.

Essays on 3P

Long-form writing on Partnership, Playbooks, and Playgrounds — this page is where they live. A Q1 retrospective is in the queue.

I write to learn, and speak to connect. The three P's are the lenses I keep returning to whenever I'm trying to think a thing all the way through — Partnership for the deeper relationships, Playbooks for the skill-sets I've consolidated, and Playgrounds for the fun and the laughter.
