Hi, I’m John Stone. I’m a technologist, writer and Product Manager at Intuit, where I help small businesses thrive by improving their cash flow and getting paid faster.
The Blog
Much like an artist builds a portfolio of works, this blog is an attempt to build a portfolio of my thinking. It’s my first attempt at publishing for a wider audience other than myself. And it’s an open experiment, designed more for personal growth than with a tangible goal in mind.
I sometimes think about our personal “input-to-output ratio” – the amount of time we spend on creative production compared to our consumption habits. For every album or playlist you consume, how often have you created music? For every movie you watch, how about publishing on YouTube or Twitch? As a consistent reader, I feel like writing is a natural creative extension. This is my attempt at a portfolio of thoughts.
High quality inputs are important too. Check out some of my favorite articles and essays from around the web.
