“An obstacle downstream propagates upstream. If you’re not allowed to implement new ideas, you stop having them. And vice versa: when you can do whatever you want, you have more ideas about what to do. So [keeping a blog] makes your brain more powerful in the same way a low-restriction exhaust system makes an engine more powerful.”
Paul Graham (who was writing about startups, not blogging)
ABOUT ME
My name is Jonte Shaw.
I graduated from The University of Melbourne in 2015 with a Bachelor of Commerce and majors in Finance and Marketing. I spent a year teaching at the university, before moving on to launch EatClub, which is a dynamic pricing platform for restaurants. During my time there, our small founding team of 5 grew to 50 people across 5 cities and 2 countries.
Right now though, I’m working on Wrappr, which is a unique out of home media format that my brother, Liam, and I started together. We are building a company that embodies our core values of freedom, trust and having a positive impact on the environment.
To get things started here, I’ll be focusing my writing on climate change and its related environmental impacts.

Drop me a line with any recommendations on books, articles, documentaries or other resources you think might be helpful.
The most valuable learning experience is to talk with experts in the field, so if you in any way fit that description (and find yourself with a spare 10 minutes), I would love to speak with you.
Jonte.
