Breaking the Silence

It's been a minute since I’ve sent an update—first email of the year actually. I've been in build mode, but it feels like the right time to share again. Before we get to it, here’s a refresher on what Firebird means to me:

Here’s a quick look at what’s been keeping me busy:

• Building

  • Leading Marketing at Cognitive Athletics: Recently joined the team to bridge the gap between mind and body training to elevate holistic wellness. Launching Q1.

  • Launching Realm with DANJA: We’re rolling out of beta soon. It’s been an incredible journey bringing this community and platform to life. Can’t wait for you all to see what we’ve built.

  • Threw the First Firebird Event: Brought together Naval’s Airchat community for a hang in Navato over the summer. Great people, great conversations, some jkd training, and a seed planted for future collaborations and experiences.

• Creating

  • Writing and Music: I’ve been writing a lot, more to share on that soon. Made a lot of music this year too. I’m pumped to get a book and album out there in the near future.

• Training

  • 2nd Promotion at ECJKD: Reached Level 1 as an instructor in Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do lineage. This journey continues to push me and bring me places I didn’t expect.

• Learning

  • Daily App Building Challenge: I’ve started building an app every day to push my creativity and improve as a builder. More on that in the reflection below and here.

  • Cybersecurity: Working on my CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ Certifications.

Now I’ll leave you with the first episode of my weekly vlog where I reflect on the past week and share updates on my projects.

Hope life’s treating you well—feel free to drop me a line if you want to catch up.
