Billy used to be an avid skier, working odd jobs and traveling between the northern and southern hemispheres trying to catch the best skiing. In 2018 he e-mailed Ryan Holiday and pitched him on doing some work for him for free. In a couple of months, he was hired as Ryan's research assistant.  Billy is one of the most curious people I know and we dive into his journey.
