The Manifesto:

Curiousity.
Versatility.
Well-Roundedness.

These are key attributes and drivers that provide meaning to our lives. We strive to add value to not only ourselves but the people and communities around us. We want to be prepared for whatever life throws at us.

This journey is narrated by a group of like-minded individuals who are obsessed with learning anything and everything. From politics, cooking, investing or even how to knit… everything is fair game. We put to use our methodical research and thought process to gather the best resources and find the most efficient way to learn something — quick and to the point. These instructional excerpts of our experiences primarily serves as reference for ourselves. But we invite you on this journey to learn alongside with us, to become better than we were yesterday.

The Format:

The blog has two separate types of information: Nuggets and Journeys.

• A nugget is a quick chunk of information that we learn. It could be a tip, trick, or quick primer to a task. Also it can be a synopsis to a specific topic. Think of it as a cliff-note.
• A journey is a longer, more comprehensive summary on our process and experiences in learning X, Y, or Z. It is generally a part of a larger subject that we would like to master, such as cooking or style. Think of it as a chapter in a book.
