Hi, I'm a corporate slave by day (Lead User Experience Researcher for a Fortune 100 company) and trying to do my own thing outside that. I'm here on the internet to find like-minded peeps and figure out if I can get some direction on what to do. Basically, I need help and I don't know how else to find it other than the internet.

This is a list of what I'm best at. Any ideas what would be a good pursuit that would bring value to my community/society (and ideally make me more money than my current role every could)?
  • desk researching a topic
  • distilling key takeaways/info
  • patience/discipline
  • searching the internet
  • optimizing (nutrition, fitness, sleep, finances)
  • overconfidence
  • world building (ie role playing game worlds)
  • mentoring (mentoring hundreds of junior researchers throughout the years for free, consider it my duty to help the newbies)
  • utilizing code and multimedia
  • user experience research methods
  • event planning
  • parody/satire
  • creating presentation decks
