This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.
I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.
If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

You can make a bloody fortune in this racket and maintain just a small portion of your soul in the process. I offer it to you in a voice that was playing inside my head at the very time. It’s an ironic voice, a glib voice, a self-serving voice, and at many times, a despicable…

The government solution to government problems is a giant disclaimer that nobody reads. If you take out a loan, they require the loan giver to give you a huge wall of text, that nobody reads. After a while, you realize that a larger disclaimer doesn’t help anyone. People who want to make bad decisions still…
As I got rich, I realized that one of the quickest ways to get rid of a friend is to lend them more money than they can repay. What option does he or she have? To either do something that’s very hard; get rid of free time, try and find some gainful employment to pay…
