What is this all about?
Beyond The Smalltalk is all about helping you become the best version of yourself.
How you ask? By giving you a thought-provoking article each week in which I share tips, tools, and thoughts on how to become a better Conversationalist, Connector, and Creature altogether (I should have used the word human, but I wanted to keep the alliteration going – please forgive me).
Jokes aside, I truly want to help you change the way you look at the world, and help you invite the opportunities into your life that you so much desire. I fundamentally believe that this is all a function of how we show up, how we carry ourselves, and how we interact with the people around us. If we encounter them with curiosity or judgement, if we keep things shallow or allow ourselves to go deep, if we show disdain or respect towards the unknown. I’m here to promote the Curiosity, Depth, and Respect.

Who am I?
In my day-job I am a Stanford MBA and Tech Executive with 15 years of experience in Sales, Revenue, and Partnership roles at various companies such as Google, Ofo, or Robinhood. My speciality is mostly in helping tech companies expand internationally – having done so across the US, Latin America, Europe, South East Asia, and China.
But the real reason you ended up here is because of who I am as a person. Someone who is endlessly curious about the world, with an insatiable desire to connect with others. The guy who loves languages (on my 7th now) and celebrates every moment of serendipity that occurs. Maybe you saw one of my videos on Instagram where I share tips on how build more meaningful relationships, or you saw my TEDx talk that was all about “Breaking The Habit of Smalltalk,” or you read my old blog “The Positude” in which I wrote for 10 years about how to build a more resilient mind. Whatever brought you here, you are welcome.
Who is this for?
For those looking to elevate their lives with actionable, thought-provoking insights on personal growth and connection. Imagine a modern-day Dale Carnegie and Anthony Bourdain came together to write a weekly newsletter. If you are even just vaguely interested in showing up more open and curious in this world, consider this newsletter as your weekly injection of positive and provocative thoughts that will change the way how you navigate the world around you.
Thank you.
