About Chris Lakin

Outside of the consulting, I host weird events, matchmake my friends, and spend time with my girlfriend. I also tweet: @chrislakin

Before, I worked on boundaries for AI alignment, a metascience non-profit, and physics at Carnegie Mellon.

I used to be anxious, insecure, romantically validation-seeking, overwhelmed by emotions, avoidant, depressed, in chronic pain, etc. I unlearned it. Then I wondered: “How could’ve it been 10x easier?”
