Machete is a home for real-time observations on life, work, creativity, and whatever else gets me thinking enough to write. Most of the content here has been written by me, Lateef Mauricio Abro. I write because it helps me think about things that are bigger than me as I strive to be more mindful, living with purpose. This blog has led me to meet and learn from an awesome variety of people: academics, bureaucrats, businesspeople, and most importantly…the same people, outside of their occupational characters. You can learn a little more about me here, and get in touch with me here.
