  • Membership Shares

    Membership Shares

    Well, hello shareholders but mostly non-shareholders. I have 1,194 shareholders but there are 3,582 people subscribed to this list. I expect many of those people have created an account on KmikeyM, and some may have bought and sold in the past, and maybe they’re just waiting for the price to drop… but the majority of…

  • New Policies For Shareholder Control

    New Policies For Shareholder Control

    As part of an ever-refining attempt to perfect experiment with my own process as a publicly traded person I’m updating the Policy Votes! The idea behind Policy Votes is “always-on” votes that change based on new information. Every three months I’m going to highlight these polices and encourage updates (and also add new ones!). Work projects are kicking back…

  • 2024 Q1 Policy Votes

    2024 Q1 Policy Votes

    At the beginning of 2023 I started to experiment with “always on” policy votes. 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…

  • Super Hero Movies

    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…

  • Hamburger Business Review Series Order

    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

    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…

  • Social Media Dark Mode

    Social Media Dark Mode

    We know social media is bad for society but we use it anyway. As much as I love connecting with people, doing so in an environment that is actively harmful feels like too high a price. How should a person exist online? That is the question I put to my shareholders in April of 2022.…

    November Challenge: Strangers

    With 36% support, a clear example of why need to update the weejee voting system, the shareholders have endorsed the idea of reaching out to strangers this month. 📧 Reach Out to a Stranger – I was thinking how great it was to meet so many people at the talk in Vienna and wondered if…

  • Do I Believe in Ghosts?

    Do I Believe in Ghosts?

    I think I saw a ghost. The problem is that I don’t believe in ghosts. At least, I don’t think I do… So I’m going to tell the story and then let you decide in a vote: 👻 Do I Believe in Ghosts? As I was driving back home to Los Angeles, CA from visiting…

  • July Challenge: Track Spending

    July Challenge: Track Spending

    The July Challenge was Record and Share Every Purchase which won at 33% support over “read five books” (21%) and “Go to a different LA Neighborhood every day” (15%)… so I made a spreadsheet. Then Lillian did her livestream where she talked about her finances and so I kind of invited myself on as a…

    June Challenge: Wake Up At 5am

    The June challenge was almost over, with the majority of votes going to “Keep fresh flowers in the house.” I was excited, Kathryn was excited, and I was already looking up the public hours for the flower market when suddenly Josh came in and ruined the whole thing. He tipped the vote to “Wake up…
