About

I write essays on business and tech. Why FIFA lets three razor brands sponsor the same World Cup. How horse girls lead you to great investments. Why soon is usually never.

I focus on essays that get you thinking and give you insights for analyzing the world around you. I write for those that are curious and seeking to be more profitable—whether in their business, investing, world view, or personal life.

Sometimes you’ll find some humor in the writing. It’s fine to laugh, especially at the footnotes.

I write everything myself by sitting down at the computer and punching the keys for hours.

No AI generated stuff here. No spam. No ghostwriters. No “5 lessons from a LinkedIn post” or controversial takes designed for outrage.
