Let’s break the ice — who are you really? ❄️👀

We talk startups, tech, and launches all day… but let’s switch it up:


What’s something unexpected about you?

A weird habit, secret skill, or guilty pleasure?


I’ll go first in the comments. You’re up next. Let’s make this fun! 😉

Okay, I’ll start...
I’m an introvert who overthinks everything—except when I’m building.
Weirdly, I find more peace debugging code at 2 a.m. than at a party with 20 people.
Oh, and I have a habit of watching the same Top Gear clips on repeat like it's therapy. 😅

Now you—what’s something unexpected about you?

@vasudevsoni I think Paul Graham also has commented that he finds debugging peaceful because it's a constrained problem!

I do love talking about and thinking about startups, but in my spare time I'm really into rock climbing. Climbing, especially bouldering, has a lot of what I love about building tech products: solving hard problems with friends! I actually think climbing is way less popular than it should be. Then again, there does seem to be an explosion of climbing gyms, at least in the Bay Area. So maybe it's well on its way.

Haha, this is a fun thread!

  • Something unexpected - I play the saxophone

  • Weird habit - I have a tendency to bob a lot with my music when I'm really in the zone

  • Secret skill - Probably learning musical instruments quickly?

  • Guilty Pleasure - building something quickly with @Cursor and hosting it on a newly acquired domain....

I'm obsessed with collecting old postcards from places I've never been. It's like a mini time capsule for me.

@abigail__lynn That's great to hear. It feels good when you have a hobby that makes you feel different.

Guilty pleasure: I love watching cooking tutorials even though I can barely cook.

@lora_jones 🤫 Don't tell anyone, but I do too.

I always eat popcorn with a dash of nutritional yeast, which is a strange habit. My secret seasoning, if you will!

Vasudev Soni
@sinforiano_lavalais Ooh, that sounds, yeasty!! Would love to try it out some day.

Guilty pleasure: I can't resist a good sci-fi movie marathon. The cheesier, the better!

I'm obsessed with organizing my phone's photo gallery into albums. It's my way of maintaining digital order!

I want to build my footprint before die.

I am traveling the world for 6 years in a row now without stop and finally after all I found my Ikigai (purpose).
I want to help people and create a good environment too, so for that reason I decided to go ALL IN in this project which is Studio Monk.
I am creating a community of individuals who seek for create the best version of themselves, by pure creativity, effort and focus on themselves.
By providing high quality motivational content in social media and creating this digital space, I want everyone who will be part to share in what they are working and how they can suppor each other.
Also I want this project to be green, to be involved with the nature and for that reason I design the logotype based on Japanese culture with a "Kitsune mask" which is the Kami of protector of the forest.

I invite everyone to find your own Ikigai too, and try to discover your full power by creating your own stuff. (Projects, Body, Mindset, Spirituality)
