Hello Ghost!
Welcome to my new website! Version 3.0, or something.
Welcome to my personal website, this time built with Ghost.
I have built many versions of my personal website throughout the years. In fact, every 2-3 years I like to try a new technology. I have had sites in Wordpress, plain HTML, Jekyll, Middleman and Gatsby so far.
This time, I am checking out Ghost, but not for the first time. In fact, I tried building my site about 10 years ago with it, but the product was still too early-stage for my taste.
My plan with this website is to force myself to build a personal community. I have been doing content for many years for MarsBased (my own company) and Startup Grind (where I serve as Chapter Director for Barcelona), in the guise of podcasts, newsletters and blog articles. I have also co-hosted a couple of podcasts outside of business, too.
When some content of my interest didn't fit neither initiative, I posted it on my personal website. I blogged about travel, games, investment and I occasionally ranted over here.
Now, I want to do less long-form and more immediate, actionable, quick wins. My newsletter game has always been pretty weak, so I plan to exercise this muscle by forcing myself to write every Friday.
I will share my best insights of the week. It can be a new AI tool I've found, a startup I might invest into, a great article by someone else, or something I've done myself. I might even go as far as to share some music. Who knows.
So, you can subscribe, to be part of the community, or just read the blog. Some blog posts will be private, or I might just do a pre-release. I don't know yet.
I will figure it out little by little. This website/community/blog/newsletter is a living and breathing thing, and as such, it will evolve over time.
Let's have fun together!
