I used to jokingly call him Dan Korleone at his conferences.

The first time I met him was at the NYC WeWork. We had a great conversation for a few hours, shook hands, and I proceeded straight to the airport hell bent on traveling. Contract was in my inbox when I landed. Just like that.

I've been to 50 countries since. Still have to beat his record of 100+, he had an unusual life - before and outside tech - and a genuine soft spot for people who take the unbeaten path.

This sucks. I should have reached out during this pandemic. Write those awkward messages to old friends folks you never know how long they'll be around.
