Umar Lone

I'm a former foreign policy advisor, diplomat and product manager.

Some notes about me:

• Born and bred in the UK
• Trekked through the Amazon Rainforest, slept in the Sahara Desert, and swam in the Great Barrier Reef
• Live in Canada
• Ran the London Marathon while injured
• Very vanilla in ice cream and personality
• Briefly started a small tech agency with my cousin

Realisations and experiences into words:

• People don't remember your name or what you said. They remember how you made them feel.
• You are no more important than a blade of grass. You just think that you are.
• Those who live in the present moment live forever.
