We don’t talk about purpose enough. What’s your purpose?
If you want to answer, my email address is here or I have an anonymous survey here. My answer is this site.
How I’m living mine.
I base myself out of Singapore, but also have strong ties to Austin and Houston, Texas.
I’m currently:
- Building Self Spark, a global, science-based platform for helping people build good habits
- Helping Project Foundation create a new type of university to help catalyze a 21st Century Renaissance
- Helping OnHand Agrarian invent a new type of sustainable fish farming
- Doing emotional intelligence (EQ)-based coaching with an instrument that predicts 54% of life success factors
I also consult for Singaporean social enterprises, speak at local or regional events, write on occasion, teach, research, and volunteer. I spend a great deal of my time on personal growth and learning.
If you want to know more or are interested in working with me, feel free to drop me a line. I’m always happy to chat with outliers, especially those who care about changing the world.
