ARTICLES
Thank you for stopping by. This is where I publish my weekly articles — some brand new, some revisiting ideas I explored years ago. Each one begins as a central piece of writing that I also send out as a newsletter, and over time this page will grow into a library of lessons, experiments, and reflections.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Lessons from life — raw takes, insights from failures, and practical advice drawn from real successes.
- Experiments in progress — habits I’ve tried (and broken), projects I’ve built, and services I’ve tested over the past 16 years.
- Skills & knowledge — on self, relationships, creativity, business, productivity, and the creator economy.
- Reflections — on ideas I believe are worth your attention, from timeless principles to current events that affect us all.
- Personal updates — occasional behind-the-scenes notes about where I am in life and how it shapes the work I share here.
My goal is simple: to write honestly and usefully, so you leave each article with something you can think about, apply, or experiment with in your own life.
