Microsoft Alumni Network: Leaving a Legacy
My time at Microsoft was short. But during that time, I met some incredible people: friends, mentors, colleagues, and more – that I’m grateful to still be connected to.

An Hour with The Corporate Psychic on The Spiritual 9-5
No matter what phase you’re at in life, I recommend you find a mentor. A mentor’s job isn’t to give you the answers, tell you what to do, or to give you the guide to how to get where they are. A good mentor will be like a sounding board. Someone who can help you… Continue reading An Hour with The Corporate Psychic on The Spiritual 9-5
The Peers Project – A Podcast on Life and Webacy

Over the years I would infrequently meet members that toted the label through global travelers, the Stanford network, and other realms. The people… Continue reading From Cirque Du Soleil to Forbes 30 Under 30 – How a Career of Acrobatics Turned into Founding a Tech Company
Stoicism and Acrobatics Part I: A Podcast
I don’t write about philosophy. I read a lot about philosophy, and I like to discuss philosophy with others… I just don’t write about it. It could be the barrier of “it’s kind of hard,” or the terrible experiences I had during my philosophy classes at Stanford. Regardless, I met some cool guys that have… Continue reading Stoicism and Acrobatics Part I: A Podcast
A Month of Poems
For one month, I wrote a single poem a day, in accordance with my monthly challenges. They were short, they were vulnerable, and as I reflected back on them, they became a sort-of diary of highlights or most prominent emotions of those 24 hours. Enjoy this short list of poems. Talk soon, Maika
