What is Gray Matters?

It’s a weekly newsletter of loosely related knowledge for the New Normal, which means almost anything we feel like talking about is fair game, but with a bias towards Productivity, Tech and Entrepreneurship with a dash of Philosophy and maybe even Crypto and Photography.

It’s written by Joan and Mario, two friends living 6,000mi apart who decided that it would be interesting to take our geeky conversations out of our DMs and into the interwebs for everyone’s… enjoyment? benefit? Let us know!

Meet Joan

Hi there, my name is Joan Gamell and I was born in a town near Barcelona, Spain. After moving a bit around the world, I settled down in San Francisco around 6 years ago.

I have been a Software Developer for most of my 11-year career with the exception of a 2.5-year stint as Engineering Manager. I currently work at Slack.

My go-to subjects are Tech, Productivity, Software Development, Self-Improvement and I am also into photography, so I might post a picture every now and then.

Meet Mario

I am Mario Chamorro and I am also from Spain, currently living in Madrid. 

I work as Management Consultant for online companies mainly in the leisure industry (gambling similar dark business... everything legal, though). I also co-founded a ghost kitchen startup before it was cool.

You will find me here writing about Productivity and Organization, Startups, Tech and other long-term nerdy bets like Transhumanism or Bitcoin.
