Hi everyone. Excuse the pessimism, but I hope we're both worthy of what I hope this forum REALLY is and what I am aspiring and working to be.

I'm a 52-year-old Canadian, living in Japan and working as an English teacher. I work the minimum hours required to meet my expenses while pursuing my lifelong dream of being a professional inventor and entrepreneur most of the rest of my waking life. I've been at it for over a decade and SERIOUSLY AT IT for 5 plus years.

In short, I'm looking for a community I'm worthy of, and whose also worthy of me. I'm not talking ego here, just truth.

I want to contribute to and be a part of a community of people who are serious about a journey that's inherently lonely, FULL of "action fakers", "crabs" and time wasters. I'm as serious about helping everyone here ( in whatever way I'm capable ) as I am about not wasting my time here engaging in anything that doesn't include one or both of us getting genuine benefit from our interactions.

My entrepreneurial pursuits and lifelong ikigai are all about inventions and bringing them to life through any and all ethical means. I'm especially passionate about inventions that have or in some way contribute to having a positive environmental impact. That said, the ever-present child in me LOVES toys, especially kinetic ones, hand drums and percussion, cool gadgets and technology used just to make fun and cool things, and I'm especially fond of N52/55 neodymium magnets;-)
