I work at a tech non-profit hackny.org part time. The rest of my time I split between youtube.com/quinnliuvideos & my jewelry startup!

My current life philosophy is I try to live every 12 hours as my last to prioritize what I should do in the present. Sometimes it is too hard for me so I go back to living every 24 hours as my last. If that ends up being too hard I go back to 1 week, then 1 month, then 6 months, etc.

Another life philosophy I've recently adopted from my mentor Chris Wiggins is people > ideas > things. Some of the people that live in my subconscious are JZ(Mom), SL(Dad), Grandma & Grandpa, H & J(siblings), Harry Potter, Leonardo da Vinci, M.C. Escher, Charles Darwin, Hunter Smith(1st real friend), Myron Barnstone(Art mentor), Jeff Hawkins(AGI mentor), Uzimaki Naruto, Steve Jobs, Sal Khan, Casey Neistat(YouTube mentor), Maggie Q, K & J, Dileep George(AGI mentor), Scott Brown(AGI mentor), OC, Brian O'Kelley, Neil Gaiman, Jim Carry, Elon Musk, Einstein, Peter Thiel, Tim Urban, Ray Dalio, Charlie Munger, Jessica Chastain, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, RDJ, CE, MR, SJ, PB, SLJ, SM, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
