On a personal level, I'm examining my behaviors that indicate avoidance of uncomfortable problems and identifying what drives me towards constructive actions, like reading and writing.

I often found myself feeling inspired by the books I read, thinking about how I could shape my own life like those remarkable figures I read about.

Before Exa, I was writing a history book, driven by my excitement about world history and the desire to share that knowledge.

I started to enjoy the process of pushing my limits and seeing what the human mind is capable of during my training.

I realized that my fear of dying without accomplishing anything drove me to push myself beyond my limits.

I often experimented with my body and mind, testing my limits and shaping my life through various experiences and readings.

I initially pursued a career in tech, working at Amazon and Groupon, but I found that chasing what I thought I knew gave me a sense of competence without purpose, leading me to realize the importance of following my passions.

After selling my first company to Groupon, I wanted to work on something that would inspire me and allow me to create new skills and knowledge. I never want to be 80 years old looking backwards and wondering what if I tried.

We explore because it leads to good things, like discovering better meals, careers, and places to live, and it feels good to discover something new.
