Author, Clubbie (2021), Battle Bunnies and the Unlikely Spartan (2023).
Working on a new book in which I go offline for a year.
Open to representation.
After 3 years working in crypto/AI, I'm done.
I've begun the process of going offline, completely.
I'll go on regular mini-quests to strengthen parts of myself that have atrophied from being chronically online.
I'll catalog the progress until I shut it down in Oct.

I want to imagine him in a wild west saloon, shooting bad guys and raiding brothels, but I can't see it :/
I didn’t write this book for front offices, I wrote it for the players. And if you stand by minor league baseball players and their fight for fair pay, then prove it.
Read the book and learn what their lives are really like. Even die hard baseball fans will be surprised.

I hesitate. I haven’t talked to my gf in days. She lives in our offseason home in South Carolina while I spend summers in Maryland for baseball.
I want to patch things up with her…if she’d answer my texts.
As a dude who lived with a rotation of 4+ MiLB players in a two-bedroom apartment, I can tell you: this is a big fuckin' deal.
Being the first team to do this will get them some great PR. Other teams will be forced to follow suit

Catch this man outside your corner bodega, holding court with a menthol behind his ear.
Did you find and fall in love with baseball of your own volition?
My hypothesis: more than any other sport, baseball must be introduced to us by someone else.
Football or basketball, for example, are inherently exciting. Not baseball. You need a guide to understand.

I don't think anyone actually cares that none of this is really decentralized.

Best Obie since Obie Trice. Very mathematical last name, too. He looks good at math, so it works.

Abso-freakin-lutely dude! Boof has it figured out. It's his game we're just playing in it.
this has to be the strangest era in crypto i can remember
the tech is finally ready to be used at scale—but almost nothing useful is being built
this is nearly the exact opposite of how it was in 2017 and 2021
ETH maxis are like liberals. They like Elizabeth Warren. They want higher taxes. Identity politics are their main focus.
Solana builders are like conservatives. They want freedom of speech, private property, and a small government.
This much is true
My buddy Rhett conducted the most unique interview I've ever had...
He put me in a chair on an auditorium stage, set up a camera, and said, "Tell me what playing catch means to you. Go as deep as you want"
Then he left the room.
This is what happened..

Yeah so the pinnacle of BD is just being able to pull out your telegram code faster than the other person. Important to show dominance. Make the other person have to pull out their camera.

If the Braves want to say I'm offensive, if the Orioles want to bar me from doing book events at Ripken Stadium, and if Clubbies want to raid my YouTube channel, that’s their prerogative.

exposes about minor league baseball that MLB front offices don't want people to know?
One thing I've noticed in many of my smart and ambitious friends:
They've all had to walk themselves back from Nihilism.
They're smart, so they realize that 'nothing matters.'
But this neutered their ambition.
So they actively ignore this realization so they can become great.

I'd never seen it happen live. Until a Twins vs. White Sox game in 2020:
I will spend the day drafting an article about what I learned going offline for a week this summer.
The thesis:

I've always been obsessed with failure as a means to getting what you want.
In fact, at its core,
#clubbie
is a book about failure. Failure in love, in baseball, in life, and in growing up.
Check out my conversation about it with Brian Burkhart:
I worked for about 2 months at a protocol that raised $55m in a series A and $25m in an NFT launch.
And they burned through ALL OF IT--$80 million!!--in 18 months.
Absolutely insane spending habits. 100s of employees.
