I have a scope tomorrow 1yr since my 16th surgery and Crohn’s declared “in remission”. Lots of emotions, but I’ve had an exceptional year:
🚴♂️Biked from SF to LA
🚴♂️🏃♂️🏊♂️ Competed in 2 Tris
🏃♂️ Ran a 10K race
🧮 Became an ed-tech co-founder
👧 Teenage daughter came to live with us
Being an effective co-founder + athlete seems like a puzzle whose pieces weren’t made to go together (I want them to!)—Michael Brandt @bdm_tastemakers, co-founder of HVMN talks about his training for Boston and reflects on the support of his colleagues. https://hvmn.com/podcast/road-to-boston-ft-michael-brandt?r=kzbhpeln
If you picked up an actual paper @nytimes this Sunday, you got a gem of an illustrated short science fiction story—BETTER VERSIONS OF YOU—by the venerable Ted Chiang.
One thing I discovered in my Crohn’s -> triathlete journey is, deciding to do something is often the defining factor of accomplishment. This woman with a prosthetic leg ran a 140mi through the desert.

Made my way to @BookshopSC this morning and picked up The Overstory and A Brief History of Seven Killings for #IndependentBookstoreDay
Today I set my meditation to Infinity Stone #nolimits #Endgame
Today’s #bookmail is super exciting because I thought maybe i was the only one who thought 1999 was the best movie year ever
Since I came down with a flu post-Disneyland, I decided to dive into @Logans_Tweets “road to Episode IX” film challenge, remixing his original list a bit and posting my thoughts on EP:I, THX 1138, Ben Hur and American Graffiti #StarWars https://www.gotostepone.com/post/finding-the-rise-of-skywalker/
I saw Us opening weekend, and while I enjoyed the film, its flaws made it feel like a cold open for #TheTwilightZone. Well, now you can stream the first episode free—it’s incredibly sharp, but is it now worth paying CBS $6-$10 p/mo (+ Star Trek Discovery)? https://amzn.to/2YLjufc
Infusion time again. Sitting in the chair, I know life will be hard for a week, but when you don’t know what will happen if you miss your infusion, you go with the known #ibd #crohns #inflectra https://www.gotostepone.com/post/autoimmune-disease-and-healthcares-failure/
Joshua has spent the better part of twenty years helping founders get from idea to launch and from launch to thriving company. He was the president of an e-commerce platform and helped start an eco-friendly plastic company whose materials are used today across the yoga and shoe industry. In 2012, Joshua was sent on a different kind of journey—a health crisis that had him fighting for his life. With the standard of care not working, he dove deep into researching genetics, the microbiome, mitochondrial health, fasting and ketosis. In 2018 Joshua succeed in hacking his autoimmune disease and emerged an athlete, riding over 2000 miles on a single speed bike and competing in two triathlons.
