We sold Pando

Hello from Hawaii. With a shout out to every billionaire who tried to put us out of business over the years.

Paul Bradley Carr is the author of The Upgrade, Bringing Nothing To The Party, Sober Is My New Drunk, etc etc. He has also founded and sold a bunch of media companies.

This is his personal website/blog which contains very little about any of those books or companies, but is absolutely chock full of weird, libelous, self-indulgent nonsense about his life, writing and publishing, locked room mysteries, restaurants in Palm Springs, and the awfulness of Silicon Valley.

Paul is not on any social media. This is it.
