About

I built and sold two brick & mortar food businesses between 2006-2019.

Now that I'm semi-retired, I ask myself, "What if I spend 10,000 hours chasing curiosity?"

10k to $10k is a live changelog of my journey to see if ~~following my interests~~ "fvcking around and finding out" can make me $10,000 a month. All while living the slowmad life I've designed.

Here's my official first post on this blog. Everything before this date is backfilled.

I have dyslexia, ADHD, and Tourette's. If I've made it this far in life, so can you.
