(For every page's details, please scroll down.)

I am Kingston, and this is my project page.

This site is to document my journey through projects to help individuals and small business owners with a couple things that could make a difference.

I do this via mini projects. I also write, and I recently released my eBook ( Get To Know Your Backyard Opportunity), based on the lessons from my 21-Day project here in Austin, TX.

This book is aimed at highlighting the initiative we can all take to gather valuable skills in writing, communication, and interacting with people through an interview project in our local communities. The benefits could be life-changing.

Update Note: In the meantime, you can also pick up a free copy of my released mini-guide: Start With A Story: A Mini Guide On Opening Your Book With A Tale.

And also check out my latest startup in NYC, Kilimanjaro.

Your By Products

A quick share today from one of my favorite books---Rework, from the founders of Basecamp, Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hannsson---on what you may not be seeing while you are working on your thing. Think calmly and well about this:


"When you make something, you always make something else. You can't just make one thing. Everything has a by-product. Observant and creative business minds spot these by-products and see opportunities.
The lumber industry industry sells what used to waste----sawdust, chips, and shredded wood---for a pretty profit. You'll find these by-products in synthetic fireplace logs, concrete, ice strengtheners, mulch, particleboard, fuel, and more.
But you're probably not making anything. That can make it tough to spot your by-products. People at a lumber company see their waste. They can't ignore sawdust. But you don't see yours. Maybe you don't even think you produce any by-products. But that's myopic."
