"Start to a Bright Day: Connections, Conversations, and Coffee"

Mar 20, 2024 - 11:22amSummary: Today, I started my morning with paratha and eggs, then biked to Mnemonic Coffee where I caught up with Eric Scogin. We had a great conversation at the coffee shop followed by a pleasant walk through Balboa Park. Eric shared a bit about his project related to the outdoor industry, which caught my interest. I'm looking forward to learning more about it once he's back in Minneapolis. I also had the chance to meet his four-year-old daughter Freya, his wife Ashley, and their grandmother Colleen, who's from San Diego. The encounter was delightful, and I'm thrilled about this new connection. Now, feeling motivated and happy about how the day began, I'm about to bike home.

Transcript: I biked over to Mnemonic Coffee after I had a paratha and eggs for breakfast, and I met Eric Scogin there, and we had a nice chat at Mnemonic as well as a little stroll through Balboa Park, which is really nice. I'm about to walk home. He has this project kind of related to the outdoor industry, which obviously is very resonant for me, so I'm pretty stoked to learn more and follow up. Probably in the next week, once he gets settled back home in Minneapolis, I met his daughter Freya, who's four, and I also met his wife Ashley and their grandmother, Colleen, who lives in San Diego. So very, very pleasant. I'm excited. I'm excited to be able to share this little experience. Yeah, stoked to just continue on with the day. It was amazing. Really, really great way to get the day started. A really enjoyable person. So I'm going to bike home.

This morning, after sleeping in, I enjoyed a slow start, making eggs with shallots and riding my bike to Mnemonic for a unique and fantastic espresso. I spent around two hours at Mnemonic writing and thinking, followed by a bike ride to Tacos El Gordo before returning home. Back home, I experimented with purified water for coffee brewing and general health reasons, purchasing three gallons from OB Water to see if it makes a difference. I'm ending my day with plans to read "Positioning" and acknowledging that my to-do list will likely extend into the weekend.

"An Energetic Afternoon: Productivity and Creativity Fueled by Change of Environment"

I had an energetic afternoon which started with a bike ride to an unnamed café near the university for espresso. Spending time mostly outdoors, I worked with two notebooks and my iPad, realizing that the lack of a traditional computer and a change of environment encouraged different styles of thinking. This alternative thinking helped me make progress towards creating something akin to a pitch deck. Afterward, I went for another bike ride to channel my excess energy and am now planning my weekend, focusing on preparing for the upcoming week rather than working intensively.

I just got home at 6:45 after biking to Golden Hill Park for a couple of hours of slacklining, which was really nice. I met someone named Reese, who's relatively new to slacklining but knows Alonzo and has attended one of his gatherings. It was cool meeting him. I really enjoyed trying to master slacklining, and I feel like I made some progress today. I'm looking forward to doing more slacklining soon, hopefully with others later this week.
