The Spin-Off Project

In 2012, I kicked off The Spin-Off Project, a personal lifestyle experiment, where I dove into twelve different pursuits for a month each. I shared my experiences on the now-defunct thespinoffproject.com, and you can read all my posts from that time below. To learn more about the project, have a peek at About The Spin-Off Project.
