About Me

👋 Hi, I'm Rhys.

I'm an author and teacher. I focus on how humanity can navigate this century, and empower the next generation to shape it.

Right now, I'm writing a book on the big picture and am helping young folks live up to their potential with the Roote Fellowship.

If you're curious, here are some of my most popular articles:

• Marriage Counseling with Capitalism
• Wisdom Age
• You Are Allowed

Here are some of my most popular podcast interviews from The Rhys Show:

• Chris Stringer on how humans evolved
• Nick Lane on how life evolved
• Karl Friston on the most important idea since evolution
• Claire Hughes Johnson on scaling organizations

I've blogged for a decade (archive). I'm currently hermiting to write my book but you might enjoy my Substack: Rhys' Pieces.

You can find me on Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook.

Or reach me by email or my office hours.

Some other fun things:

• Before my current gig, I taught Blockchain Ethics at the MIT Media Lab, co-founded ETH Denver, and co-founded Musiquest.
• I highly recommend any of my 5-star books on Goodreads.
• I wrote a music album Music for 18 Pianos, have a strange process for finding new music, and have analyzed photography on my old blog.
• Here is my My How to Work with Me Manual.

Thanks for being here! ❤️
