His about page [1] says "strategist, entrepreneur, technologist, avid reader and writer, casual historian, cowboy scientist, and I like doing some adventure and travel type stuff".

His LinkedIn [2] says "Real Estate, Project Management, Technology, Philanthropy, Writing".

His youtube channel [3] is full of lectures about strategy.

Sooo..."life coach" mashed up with "strategy consultant" or something equivalent? Of course, you could ask, "Does it matter what his credentials are?"

It definitely does. Credentials are how I block the reality distortion field put up by a lot of enterprising individuals.

Hey atomical - I'm Jason Shen. I'm an entrepreneur based in San Francisco. I cofounded a nonprofit in college, worked at a startup called isocket (now known as BuyAds) and cofounded a YC backed startup called Ridejoy.

You might also be wondering about Sebastian Marshall. He's a friend of mine, an entrepreneur in his own right and wrote a book called Ikigai. More on him here: http://sebastianmarshall.com/about

Hi Jason, I looked over his site but that really tells me nothing about him. It's laced with lines like,

"I signed up for a life a little bit off the mainstream path, so maybe I've got some interesting things for you. Writing on here is geared for those who want to cultivate their enterprising spirit, to build results, to become more creative, to gain a greater self-mastery, to get more perspective, to build more, to do more, to live more."

Yeah okay, but what's your day job and what have you done.

Jason is the founder of http://www.ridejoy.com and a member of the 2011(?) YCombinator class.

Occupation? Startups. Connection to startups? Ycombinator.

He's the real deal. ;)

Sorry, I was referring to Sebastian Marshall. I didn't make that clear enough.
