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

Norman Chella Season 2 Episode 26

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!
