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…
I Don’t like lawyers. I think all they do is delay deals, instead of making deals, and every answer they give you is no a letter from George Peacock, who ended by saying, “As with most things in life, time calls for change and it is best to accept that fact. Nevertheless, I shall always…
Flowers are really cheap. Do you know what’s really expensive? Divorce. If you’re going to eat shit. Don’t nibble I appreciate the difficulties and more than that, I thank you deeply for the effort. However, I do not think that I’ve made myself clear on the situation that we’re in. This is not a scenario…
It is more productive to convert an opportunity into results than to solve a problem – which only restores the equilibrium of yesterday. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge are essential resources, but only effectiveness converts them into results Converting a decision into action requires answering several distinct questions: Who has to know of this decision? What…
The value of a smile. It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it, and none are so poor but are richer for its benefit.…
