Reflections on learning, work, and thriving in a rapidly changing world.
Life is a Laboratory is a space for thoughtful exploration — essays, experiments, and practical learning resources for people navigating change, uncertainty, and long careers.
The world of work, technology, and education is evolving faster than ever. Rather than chasing every new trend or tool, this site takes a slower and more reflective approach — exploring how we learn, adapt, create, and stay human in the process.
The reflections here draw from many worlds: future skills and AI, lifelong learning, online education, gardening, beekeeping, creativity, and journeys on two wheels. The common thread is experimentation — learning by doing, observing carefully, and adapting as the world changes.

New: Build a Living Without a Job
A practical guide to experimentation, reinvention, and creating more freedom in a rapidly changing world.
For years, I’ve been quietly exploring a question:
How do we build more resilience, flexibility, and meaningful work in an uncertain world?
This new course draws together reflections and practical lessons from my own experiments with online income, lifelong learning, teaching, digital products, and creating multiple ways of earning — without hype or promises of overnight success.
Instead, it takes a slower, more reflective approach:
small experiments, practical learning, and momentum over perfection.
Occasional reflections. No spam.
