Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing a distrubance
The man took a deep sigh and walked into his room. He was finally here. After weeks of listening to that awful but catchy tune on the radio while seated at a gas station out in the middle of nowhere. He had come to the source of the sound. By...

Done Little. Got a lot.

I've never farmed a day in my life, and yet my belly's been filled now almost 20 thousand times.*

I've never written a book yet there are so many great ones that've knocked my incumbent views on life on their ass. And so many more await.

I've never founded a company and...

Documenting Adagia
Autopilot product dev

We do most things without consideration.  80% of our days is a result of our habits rather than conscious deliberation*. This is obvious in things that are obviously habits like our morning coffee or an afternoon walk or a post dinner dessert. But I've seen this auto-pilot mode occurring also...

Designing for leaders as reply to The Concept

This past week I've reflected on who I want to service with Adagia. From the title you can probably guess that it's leaders.
