Removing work between the work in Brooklyn, NY, He/him

About

In the past, I’ve been a waiter, designer, coder, fry cook, advisor, calligrapher, manager, make-up artist, speaker, sculpter, printer, actor, furniture mover, high school teacher, and just about everything in between.

All of these jobs have one thing in common: an absurd amount of extra steps between you and what you woke up for. If that time could be freed up, there would be so much more space for potential and innovation, which would've otherwise been lost.

My aim is to make the world a better place by removing that “work between the work” for as many people as possible.
