Wysr is about AI, technology, people, and strange systems.
I’ve done some cool things before:
Studied Physics and Applied Math at the Virginia Military Institute
Did a military exchange to the Chung Cheng Technical Institute in Taiwan
Published my physics thesis in a photonics journal
Deployed to Afghanistan as an Infantry platoon leader
Went to Harvard Business School… (I have thoughts 🫡)
Cofounded + sold an ecommerce startup
Left that startup post-acquisition and forfeited most of my earnout
Founded a payments startup (VF Protocol) to make transaction fees extinct
Raised $800K for it
Launched SayMore to help Creators test out and crowdfund their ideas
Grew it to a couple thousand Creators before eventually shutting it down
Then built Seemore.tv to help Creators build no stress newsletters
Started Wannanap Labs to experiment with weird software and AI-assisted development product cycles
Built a persistent AI coworker, some B2B tools, some toys, and various other items of questionable commercial importance
I’ve grown a few social accounts to pretty respectable sizes while others are still works in progress.
And I’ve done plenty of other stuff too (like lift heavy things and talk and procrastinate)
I like thinking about a lot of different things and I’ll eventually write about most of them.
Readers have shared that these are some of my essays they’ve particularly enjoyed:
The Private Capture of Public Genius
On January 24, 1956, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company was the largest private company in the world.
A $957 Tube of Cream
My son has some skin issues right now. It’s not the end of the world (yet), but his skin is dry and scratchy and, in the middle of Boston winter, it’s certainly not a fun experience for a 5-month-old. Fortunately, he’s still in good spirits.
I’ve also written about leadership, volatility, infinite loss, product thinking, communication, how to start hot streaks, and failure.
I hope these add value to your day!
