Hi, I’m Sam Vuong!
I'm a founder and writer based in Toronto. I grew up a Montessori kid, and that experience shaped my personal philosophies. I believe everything is downstream of education, and I write about decentralized education, the orthopraxies that form us, and how technology and culture shape who we become.
A few of my most popular pieces are on the culture of ambition, the value of self-imposed friction in a frictionless world, and how to think about work.

About Me
I’m currently building Flourish with my husband and partner in crime, Karel Vuong. Flourish helps people host IRL salons and make conversation a ritualized practice.
My career has moved through education, tech marketing, and crypto. Across industries, I’ve found myself spending time in communities and subcultures forming outside established systems.
Second Nature is where I make sense of all of it.
