A Renaissance Polymath?
Kurt believes strongly in epistemological self-consciousness and the strong rhetoric backed up by hard work, self-reliance and the humility to know when to ask for help. He is just as thrilled to act as a business, bitcoin or software consultant as he is to be a life mentor or martial arts instructor.
