Highlights

“Edge City”, a term a friend and I use to talk about living on the edge of what’s normal, surrounded by others who are into weird, edgy stuff.


Living in Edge City can be great for your career as an entrepreneur. Building the future is a lot easier when you’re surrounded by people living in it. Rather than inventing something from scratch, you simply notice what your friends are just starting to get into and figure out how to bring that thing to broader society.


Given that most sunscreens are loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals, I don’t use sunscreen unless outside for very, very long periods of time. And when I do, I only use non-nano zinc oxide products. A non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen should protect against both UVA and UVB rays, and contain particles too large to be readily absorbed by the skin.
