2023 Third Quarter Review
Spent a big chunk of Q3 in Portland and wrapped season 1 of Hamburger Business Review. Overall it was a slow and steady quarter with a few weeks spent getting over COVID and feeling the impact of the writer’s strike (which finally ended). Updated my Agile Resolutions for October and started to think a lot…

📧 What KmikeyM Is For
What is KmikeyM? Over the last 15 years it has evolved into a global community of people who are interested in the intersection of finance and personhood. That is, we recognize the awkward, almost existential necessity of living in the overlap of economic systems and personal autonomy. This kind of mindset is not easy! Generally…

AAR: HBR Season 1
We’ve finished season 1 of Hamburger Business Review, a shareholder endorsed project (74%). Ten episodes of discussion about a Harvard Business School case study on McDonald’s. Closing the season I feel a growing expertise about the fast food industry, somewhere right on that edge of realizing how much I don’t know. This is an AAR…

2023 Second Quarter Review
The year is half over, and while I knew this was going to be a quieter year for KmikeyM it still bothers me. KmikeyM has always pushed me to be public about my life and it’s weird to be working on longer form projects (the book and tv/film options and Blippo+) that move at a…

Super Hero Movies
In 2017 I realized that watching Agents of SHIELD was a form of procrastination. There is something about watching teamwork that I found both relaxing and rewarding, but I knew there was better television and movies to watch. I challenged myself with a vote for “No More Tights” and swore off superhero content. In 2023…

2023 First Quarter Review
After three months of Agile Resolutions I’m pretty pleased with the progress being made in 2023. I’m still working on the balance between the fun of planning and the grind of doing the work and my process is evolving. Each week I look my monthly goals and set up weekly tasks which I then schedule…

Hamburger Business Review Series Order
On March 15th, 2023 I ordered a pilot episode of Hamburger Business Review cohosted by me and Zach Rose. The initial pitch that sold me on the idea was that Zach and I would read and the discuss a Harvard Business Review case study about McDonald’s. Harvard Business Review has over thirty case studies about…

Policy Votes
In 2019 I read ‘How to Change Your Mind‘ by Michael Pollan after having a few low dosage mushroom experiences. It was fun! But a part of me wondered if this was a good idea, and more specifically if my shareholders would approve. Ever since becoming a publicly traded person I’ve tried to balance my…
