What I’m doing now

Updated in late January 2026

I’m stepping into my 37th year of life with big plans for the year and a brand-new notebook for goals, reflection, ideas, and quotes. The ritual matters more than the tool, but a fresh notebook still feels like a proper reset.

I’m working on the audio version of my book “50 Lessons on Capoeira, Teaching, and Life”. Along the way, I launched a podcast with the same name, where I read and reflect on selected chapters from the book.

I’ve returned to CapoeiraWiki and set up a simple system: monthly and weekly routines for updating the encyclopedia. The principle is straightforward — small updates, done consistently, every week. We started with a list of events in capoeira history for January. If you have something worth documenting, you’re welcome to join the project.

I’m back on social media in a “write-only” mode, trying to share at least one update per week with friends and readers. I like combining habits and turning them into useful routines, so I pair these updates with calligraphy practice. For each post, I design the cover myself. Check my Instagram.

Professionally, the year started strong. I’m working with a small, young, and talented team I’m genuinely proud of. Together, we’re pushing forward what we planned last year and exploring new ideas for breakthrough growth of Wildberries for Chinese sellers. It feels like a real startup — just with the resources of a large company behind it.

This is a /now page. It’s inspired by Derek Sivers and his idea of sharing what you’re focused on right now. If you have your own website, you should make one, too.
