# About MrMichael

Trying to look where other people don't.

*If you're interested in connecting, write to me here - I won't bite! **mr.michael@selfstudio.se***

I like genuine human experiences and connections. I also love entrepreneurship. For better or worse, a lot of that is in technology.

Technology has been wonderful in many ways but I see it's come at a big cost, in many ways.

On this site I write up projects I've built + launched, along with commentary on what work and what did not. In particular I am interested in how to get people using new websites and services, and how that can be 'scaled'.

I am not of pure pedigree in any one discipline. I was a viral video games developer (10m+ organic plays under the pseudonym [CorkySurprise](https://corkysurprise.com)), briefly a lawyer working in financial regulation, ran a company through Entrepreneur First, and then went into growth and marketing.

The Guardian UK has called me "*an interesting character"*.

I'm interested in overlooked opportunities, and things have the power to heal or connect people.

I am seen as quite rationally minded but am quite the opposite; I value the ethereal and intangible over the concrete and measurable.

I sometimes post YouTube videos here: [https://www.youtube.com/@mr_mi...](https://www.youtube.com/@mr_michael_)

I don't have an explicit objective with this site. I just seek to increase serendipity, write my thoughts, and have some interesting conversations with people around the world.

That lack of direct-ness is a bother to some people but these are not the sort of people I am looking to find :)
