What does it mean to live a satisfying life?

I experiment with life and share what I find.

I built a tech company for fifteen years, published four books, and moved to Lisbon on three days’ notice. Now I build with AI, write about what I’m learning, and give it away.

The short version.

I started a tech company out of university and ran it for fifteen years. I've written four books. I moved to Lisbon on three days' notice. Somewhere in the middle of all that, the questions got more interesting than the answers.

Now I live here with my wife, writing every week, building things with AI, and still trying to figure out what a satisfying life actually looks like. I don't have it solved. But the experiments keep going.

Reflections

Two series. Two lenses. One ongoing inquiry.

Books

Each one started as a question that wouldn't leave me alone.

Builder, seeker, fellow traveler.

I started my first business at thirteen and haven’t stopped building since. I founded a global technology company at twenty-one and ran it for fifteen years. I was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year. I studied AI at Oxford. Somewhere in the middle of all that, I started meditating in boardrooms and questioning everything I’d been taught to want.

That questioning became its own body of work. Four books across four genres. A weekly essay for over a decade. A move to Lisbon on three days’ notice. And now, building software tools for writers and running Portugal’s AI community.

The through-line is one question: what does it mean to live a satisfying life?
