So, would you share your thoughts on selectivity, noise, and voice? How do you advise we be more selective on what we intake, while not excluding or becoming ill-informed…

Entrepreneurship, technology, community, code, coworking, culture…are some of my own interests. But I’m just as interested in everyone else’s.

Ask me questions that are provocative, I’m most likely to answer those.

Ask me questions that give me a reason to interview interesting people, that’s what I want.

What don’t I want?

Don’t you dare ask me how to monetize your blog. Don’t you dare ask me how to get thousands of followers on twitter.
