Finished and shipped Why PRESENT ~ to record this video I went out of my comfort zone to answer this question in depth. It’s an exploration on the foundational reasons this project exists and an invitation to come grow PRESENT with us.

I recorded an extended conversation with Adam Barnard of Otto Resource for an upcoming Present Podcast episode. It was the remote recording with the unavoidable small technical hick-up’s but overall fulfilling and fun!

I went with Sarah to Sadarnac which is run by young chef Lise Deveix — great experience. Also one of my best friends Carlo was in town for a night and we had apéro and burger’s at Dumbo. Bliss!

This Week’s Wisdom from Haemin Sunim:
“The world is experienced according to the state of one’s mind. When your mind is joyful and compassionate, the world is, too.

When your mind rests, the world also rests.”‍
