Come find me.
The best conversations I’ve had started with a good question. Below are the ones I like being asked.
- What are you building, and who’s it for?
- What’s something you made that spread further than you expected — and do you know why?
- What’s the best book you read last year?
- What would you do with an audience if you had one tomorrow?
- What’s the question you wish people asked you?
Click one. Type your answer right there, or email it instead — either way, you have my attention.

Meet me at Parque Eduardo VII weekday evenings, an hour before the sun sets. I’ll be in a portable chair, reading. My two dogs will be running around — they’ll find you before I do.
In summer that’s around eight; in winter, closer to five.
Do you take client work?
A few founders a year, under Stories as a Service. Email me what you’re building and where it lives.
Will you look at my channel, app, or startup?
Yes. Send the link and one question — one — and you’ll get a real answer.
Podcasts, talks, interviews?
If there’s a real conversation in it, yes. Email with the topic and who’s listening.
How fast do you actually reply?
Within a day, Lisbon time. Faster if your subject line is one of the questions above.
What are you reading right now?
The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel. That answer updates itself — it comes straight from ReadingRate.
What kind of dogs?
Fudgy is a Golden Retriever. Papa Jelly is a Corgi. They have zero respect for a reading chair.
Where exactly in the park?
Top of the hill, on the grass facing the river. Look for the chair.
