16: Moments (via Radi0Lab)
Welcome to the Art of Ass-Kicking!
I'm Jason Shen and this blog is about conquering fear and doing epic sh*t.
I am co-founder of Ridejoy, a YC-backed social transportation startup. I've won a national championship in gymnastics, gotten rejected 30 days in a row, and graduated from Stanford. I try to practice what I advocate.
