Thinking about power laws

Grant grew up in a small town outside of Rochester, NY. There he developed a deep appreciation for nature, community and friendship, and the internet. Although Grant has been posting online since he was in his early teens, his formal writing career accelerated when he published his book, Lead The Future: Strategies and Systems for Emerging Leaders. His current research and writing interests are focused on energy abundance, local leadership, and the social implications of new technologies. Grant is a Resident Fellow at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity.

Barbell Ambivert

Grant oscillates between being a part-time Austin socialite and a gamer recluse. He loves to host house parties or spend an evening sitting at a patio picnic table bantering with his friends and strangers. Grant has cumulatively spent over one year of his life traveling and living abroad in Europe, China, and Israel. He aspires to one day own a home with just enough room for a family, a guest room, and a squat rack.
