Golden Nuggets: Ten Podcasts that Expanded My Thinking

Traffic in Metro Manila causes billions of pesos in lost profit each year. On an individual level, it is a huge waste of time and energy that could be used for economically value-adding activities. I spend hours on the road each day–hours I could spend reading a good book, engaging in meaningful face-to-face conversation, or facilitating workshops with my team. It is tempting to conclude … Continue reading Golden Nuggets: Ten Podcasts that Expanded My Thinking

The Daily Dreaming 2: The Self, from a Vantage Point

After a month-long trip to Europe, having had plenty of time to reflect, a long car ride put me in an easy, pensive mood. In the Western world, the psyche seems to have a more objective understanding of one’s circumstances, and consequently, one’s responses to them.

Paradigm Shift: 5 Things I Learned about Mainland China (Beijing, April 2018)

Just this week, I set out on a last-minute business trip to Beijing. Having visited China three other times before, each one either dull or unpleasant, I had nothing but qualms about going on this trip, especially as I was to be alone, ill-equipped with barely-conversational Mandarin.

RISE 2017: An Outlook on Southeast Asia’s Start-up Culture

I signed up to volunteer out of excitement over getting a free pass to attend (and an excuse to travel). I went there alone, and quite oblivious to the tech environment (I was actually laughed at when I didn’t know what a gyroscope was–Is everyone supposed to know what that is?). Nevertheless, my learning curve steepened. Expectations were met–and exceeded–when I came to know a … Continue reading RISE 2017: An Outlook on Southeast Asia’s Start-up Culture
