Hobbies

I am an avid listener to podcasts, consumer of online courses, books and other modes of self-directed learning; a dedicated autodidact and metalearner.

I am a proponent of interesting conversations; appreciator of wit, wisdom and fine diction.

To that end, I have recently started my own podcast dubbed the Great Game — conversations with interesting people about compelling ideas.
