I didn’t sell a company for $100m before I was 30 and I can’t teach you how to get rich.

But here’s a few things I have done:

  • Slept alone in the Sudanese desert next to 3,000 year old pyramids
  • Danced on the streets of Pyongyang to celebrate Kim Jong Il’s birthday
  • Sold fake cocaine at an Australian sex convention (legally, of course)
  • Hung out with Sufi mystics and Buddhist monks
  • Lived above an abandoned shopping mall in a red light district in Malaysia.
  • When I was 27, I got sober after 14 years of alcoholism by watching Star Wars
  • At 35, I was diagnosed with ADHD
  • Oh, and I’ve nearly died a bunch of times

And here’s a few things I could teach you:

  • How to not make $3.3m from Bitcoin
  • How to fail at every business you’ve started
  • What it’s like getting tattoo’d by a Buddhist monk
  • How to thrive at remote work when you have ADHD
  • How to grow a b2b startup in Africa*
  • Big Life Lessons from 14 years traveling to 50+ countries
