About

Your 20s are critical to your one life: Here's how to optimize them ✨ Just 2 weeks into my first job out of college, I felt demoralized and wondered, "Is this really what my 20s will amount to? Spending my best years working for someone else's dream?" Now in my mid-20s, my work doesn't feel like work, I'm married to my best friend, and I have amazing friends in my dream city. I share my lessons so you skip the hard way, from optimizing time, health, money, and mindset to living richly in your 20s while building a thriving 30s. If you value personal growth, intention, and creating life on your terms, you’re in the right place 🧑 "Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk but no flowers grow." β€” Vincent Van Gogh About me ~ πŸ“NYC - Education: Chemical engineering @Caltech - Career: Business management consulting, YouTuber and entrepreneur (current) - Sports: basketball (college varsity), volleyball, tennis (regional champ) Biz inquiries: [email protected]
