Alan Rodriguez Rios writes and publishes Human+, a weekly self-improvement newsletter that explores what it means to be human and, as he puts it, “a better one at that.” In this month’s “keep it 100” micro interview, Alan shares with us his love of travel, a bit of advice, and his favorite feline.
Answers can be any length, but the total word count—including my 8 questions—can’t exceed 100 words.

What inspired your newsletter?
I wanted to put my own voice out there, especially in a genre that defined a lot of my formative years.
Got pets?
Too many to name! The real rockstar is my sphynx cat named Din.

Take it slow! Self-improvement doesn’t have to be a grind.
