    Conversations #23 - Malcolm Ocean

    Hello Eclectic Spacewalkers! This past month I had the pleasure to finally talk with Malcolm Ocean, a long-time Twitter mutual of ours. Malcolm Ocean is a systems designer, a self-described “feral free agent, singer-songwriter, and trust-dancer.” He also runs a software company called Complice - the to-do list that never goes stale. Malcolm is a unique and eclectic soul whose thinking I have found to be useful and playful in solving problems, building networks, and being curious about all things dealing with the ‘interpersonal.’ Malcolm runs Complice, a software company that  “helps people stay in touch with their big-picture goals on a day-to-day basis, and act strategically & improvisationally” Instead of productivity, we focus on intentionality choosing & doing, over organizing aliveness, instead of exhaustiveness goals as fundamental, rather than tasks proactive, rather than reactive We thank Malcolm for their time, research, and eclectic mind. Enjoy the conversation, and until next time - Ad Astra!
