Welcome to the Deep Dish
Hello. My name is Rich. After leaving full-time work in my twenties, I've been pursuing my own hobbies and writing projects while traveling the world.
Have a mosey around and check out anything that piques your interest. You can dive right in with a list of all the posts ever written, read a potted history of what I've been up to, or browse a selection of recommended articles.
To read new posts as they come out, the best way to stay in the loop is Substack. The Deep Dish newsletter is a slower digest of what I've been writing and thinking about, including bonus writing, podcast appearances, etc. You'll hear from me maybe 3-4 times a year.
Sign up below and I'll also send you some free tools and resources to get started.
