Killing creator piracy | CEO @ Kahana

Imagine how much better your life would be if you didn't have to waste it:
- Squinting to find tabs
- Sending zip files back and forth and opening files & links one by one
- Spending more time looking for pieces of information than... actually doing work.

It's 2024: why is the experience of working with and consuming information so archaic and messy?

That's why we built Kahana: an elegant platform that transforms the way we curate, share, and consume information. 

Less hunched over your computer and pulling your hair out trying to find that window, more Tony Stark working with Jarvis. 

Our patented "hub" technology is a unique delivery mechanism that enables you to curate ALL the different materials you're working with on any given project or topic - docs, sheets, links, PDFs, videos, your choice - all in a single tab. 

And our collaborative features make it easy for groups of people to work together within hubs, all sharing the same exact view of all relevant materials.

2025 is the year of embracing boldness, clarity, and intentional growth—all while staying true to my values and passions. Here’s to making it count!

The Vision -

🍎 Prioritizing Health Like Never Before: Health is my non-negotiable foundation for success. In 2025, I’m embracing small habits that build strength and resilience—all while proving sugar doesn’t have to dominate my life.

🐶 Dog Mom Extraordinaire: Spoiling my fur babies remains a top priority. From pup cups to park adventures, their wagging tails keep my life grounded in joy and unconditional love.

🧠 Always Growing: Curiosity fuels me. Whether it’s diving into new topics or refining my skills, 2025 is another chapter in my lifelong journey of learning.

🔊 Achieving New Financial Heights: The bar keeps rising. Hitting my highest income yet isn’t just a goal—it’s a testament to my unstoppable drive and continuously upleveling mindset. Because we never get what we want - we get what we think we deserve!

💖 Kindness Is Key: To others, yes—but also to myself. I’m swapping self-criticism for compassion and creating a foundation of love and kindness to fuel everything I do.
