Why subscribe?

I examine modern life + work (both employed and self-employed/entrepreneurship) through a multi-disciplinary lens, sent straight to your inbox every other Wednesday.

Put bluntly, I take in a metric f*ck ton of info on a regular basis, distill it down, and make it useful for you, now - all presented in a casual, conversational way; like having a glass of iced tea together.

Bonus: You’ll get updates about my next book (a memoir) FIRST!

Be part of a community of people who share your interests - that is, understanding life + all its parts beyond the mere surface view and the ongoing deluge of marketing messages.

If you enjoy questions more than answers 


If you feel most of what you see on social media makes you waffle between fear for the future of humanity + on the edge of rage 


If you nerd out on curiosity-fueled conversations, science references, + good beverages, you’re in the right place.

5 Fun Facts About VK (that’s me, BTW):

  1. I majored in Japanese Langauge & Culture in college (major Japanophile right here).

  2. I learned to read before I could walk.

  3. I tried a bagel for the first time in 7th grade (age 12) - before that, I didn’t know they existed.

  4. I have 2 non-fiction books written + published via a small publisher. I’m currently writing my 3rd book, which will be a memoir and a major departure from my first 2 books (and now I understand why it takes some writers so long to finish just one book!).

  5. 5 is one of my favorite numbers (along with 12). To this day, I still have no idea why those are my two favorite numbers.
