Hi, I’m Josh Neil

Welcome to my world :)

About me

I'm that kid who never stopped asking questions; insatiably curious, always trying to understand the 'why' behind everything.

I dropped out of the University of Oxford after a year of studying law, and began a multi-year odyssey across 30+ countries. Buddhism in Thailand. Sufism in Turkey. Ayahuasca in Peru. A lot of Alan Watts on loop. I found what I was looking for ;)

Now I spend most of my time building companies and working with AI. I love pulling apart how things work - businesses, processes, systems - and rebuilding them.

When I'm not building things, I love DJing, surfing, learning Mandarin, being active, spending time in nature, and savouring the gentle presence that lives between thoughts ✨

Things I'm wrestling with

Moving through life with agency, trying to make a dent in the universe while flowing with it. I'm constantly trying to grip less, empty myself of ambitions, and just listen.

How we'll find meaning in a post-economic world when the cost of everything approaches zero.

Crafting an intentional life I won't regret on my death bed; work, spirit, relationships, health + play.

The texture of my life

My greatest gift: optimization. I'm a huge lover of complex systems and will endlessly tweak anything to make it more efficient.

If you see me walking down the street, I'm probably wearing a ridiculous smile. Weird superpower: I can summon child-like joy at will.

Thanks for coming into my world! Life is pretty beautiful if you let it be; remember to be present and live with a bit of love 🫶🏼
