I'm a computer professor in the business school of a university in the Rocky Mountain area. I get a month off in winter and want to visit some place surfable (e.g. coastal FL or SoCal) to practice surfing.

During that stay, I'd like to work for a start-up on strategy / evangelizing for A.I./Machine Learning or Crypto/Bitcoin/Blockchain. Don't need pay, but sweat equity and a place to crash would be yuuuuuge.

My ideal schedule will be to surf 4 hours a day, and spend 8 hours a day working at the start-up.

Good public speaking skills (have presented at TEDx, video is online).

My regular reads (and YouTube and Twitter addictions) include: Nassim Taleb, Scott Adams, Derek Sivers, Marc Andreessen, Paul Graham.
