These votes represent some aspect of my life that is controlled by shareholders, but rather than a single vote the votes can shift and change at any time. I wrote about the start of this experiment with the launch of my…

📧 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.
