Going deep on hobbies
For as long as I can remember, I've gone all in on my hobbies: golf, swimming, grilling, nutrition, bodybuilding, coffee, and bikes.
I've lost countless nights of sleep dreaming up the perfect coffee setup or bike build. I'll be the first to admit that makes me sound like a bit of a maniac.
Where it pays off
Maybe it's the research I put into everything, but people tend to trust my opinion on the things I care about.
For a long time, that meant a few friends I could corner and make listen to me ramble. Then WhatBars happened, and I got to share what I'd learned about handlebars with thousands of cyclists around the world.
