Beau Haan: Roam Book Club, Block-level Zettelkasten, Roaman Community

WARNING: This is an explicit episode! This is for Lydia. In this episode, we talk with Beau Haan, a trained actor, model, and one of the key pillars of the Roaman community. Leading the Roam Book Club, he's built a space for many participants to share their thoughts with a Roam-specific Zettelkasten method. With up to 300 actives in RBC3, they found the chance to discover more of themselves and their thoughts at block-level. We talked about: Beau's origin stories, from running away from home to entering rehab and telling stories The loss of loved ones and the impact that has on one's life Discovering Roam Research and how he became a true believer without even trying the app What he learned from his personal coaching sessions with [[Sönke Ahrens]] How questioning the way you learn is questioning your identity Enjoy the episode!
