A Bit of Excitement on the High Seas

5:00 PM Local Time Bay of Bengal Cocktails on the Veranda … and then, with a flourish, these guys make a grand appearance in a great rush from the starboard side. Thought of the moment? “Paging Captain Phillips…” Turns out that they were a fishing boat out of Sri Lanka, and out of food and […]

Reflections on Yangon Part II

Reporting from somewhere in the Bay of Bengal… There are three seasons in Myanmar: Summer (damn hot), Rainy (damn hot and wet), Winter (pretty damn hot). We visited in Summer. Of course.

Who Goes There?

Welcome!

I built this site (in 2004) around the idea that the conventional divisions between professional and personal life are artificial. They don't reflect how we live, work, and play today.

I don't shut down my professional responsibilities (with rare exceptions) on evenings, weekends, or holidays. Our competitive environment doesn't permit that, and I'd get bored.

Further, it occurs to me that if you are interested in doing business with me somehow, you should be interested in Rich Bravman, the person.

So, whether you're an entrepreneur looking for specific ideas on how to put your vision into practice, an investor looking for an experienced advisor or board member, a friend, colleague, or simply someone curious about what a fellow human thinks... Welcome!

Warning: eccentricities lie ahead in these pages. (Even at this late date in 2023, I like it that way.)
