Asking questions is a theme throughout my life starting when I got in trouble all the time as a kid for asking too many questions

I had an upbringing where things were very binary

In university Professor Steve Johnson @uaanchorage said something that wouldn't let me go

The concept of no universal truths eventually got me to question everything.

This tweet which led me to read @HalGregersen's book 'Questions Are the Answer' taught me to take it a step further and learn how to ask high caliber questions

@curtisjcummings recommended I do #100DaysOfNoCode + I took @dvassallo's Portfolio of #SmallBets course and joined the community

Those courses led me to do tons of fun projects creating a bunch of cool things.

It was completely unintentional.

I feel like I'm at the beginning of figuring out my purpose in life 🎉
