About Me

Arete.

@timwarmels on twitter for my blog updates and cool articles I’m finding.

This blog is me. So sometimes there will be entrepreneurial things, business things, science things or happiness things.

I’m an ex-director of business strategy at one of Canada’s most recognized start-ups, ex-ibanker, ex-management consultant. Always entrepreneuring, learning, travelling, athleting, eating. I’ve found financial freedom in side projects and am now focus on writing a book and launching small startups. This content found here will be indicative of my book.

What to expect here?

You will not likely find beautiful prose.
You will find content that I think tickle the brain.  Each week I will write about the most interesting thing I’ve read that week, be they in books or articles.

So what content to expect? People can be generally described by the books they’ve read…
