Yesterday something shifted.
It seems like I’m not the only one obsessed with this mission.
Let me ask you something personal: when was the last time you felt truly present?
IQ is dead. Intelligence has been commoditized.
I spent 5 years designing iPhones at @Apple most recently the iPhone 17 Pro enclosure. I learned what it means to be obsessive about every detail, leave no stone unturned, and still ship 100 million devices a year.
Then I walked away.
For the last decade I've been obsessed with one question: can human emotion be scientifically understood and measured?
We're living in the noisiest era in history. Understanding what you feel, and why, has never been harder or more valuable.
Here's what most people miss: we regulate through each other.
We connect to feel, and we feel to create.
The future belongs to those who are emotionally intelligent.
I'm going all in on technology that makes self-awareness tangible and uses it as a stepping stone for humans reconnecting.
Just joined @ycombinator P26. Coming out of stealth soon.
Some will think it's crazy. Some will feel it immediately.
If you see it too and you're in SF, let's talk?
I moved from Paris to San Francisco on a whim in 24 hours. here’s the story:
last year I killed my second startup and told myself: slow down, think things through, be a normal person
24 hours later, I was on a plane to SF to join a YC hardware startup. lmao.
now I joined an insane team building something that will change how people reconnect. more on that soon, so follow me here.
I traded:
Jardin du Luxembourg for the Golden Gate Bridge,
croissants for cold brew,
and my quiet Parisian life for a tech bro house. (best part)
the new schedule:
9am to 1am,
7 days a week,
living with 3 of the smartest and most unhinged people I’ve met
at this point, I’m clearly not fixing my impulsivity or my adhd.. I’m just leaning into it
if you’re in SF and into growth/consumer, say hii, let’s go on a coffee walk!
btw: I’m flying my dog James over next month, hit me with the dog-friendly recs
can’t wait to share more soon 🇫🇷🇺🇸
Your posture is determined by your eyes. This occurs with the help of small muscles on the bottom of your skull, the subocciptals. Named for their position below the occipital bone, these muscles are also sensory organs due to the concentration of spindle cells within them.
took me exactly 53 trips around the sun to realize that right now I’m as young as I’ll ever be, and as old as I’ve ever been, here in the honeyhole between already and not yet. Amen.
