Q&A is closed, we will come up with a new format for the next one to avoid low quality questions going forward.
Some Fun Social Tells and Q&A Announcement
We try to do these once or twice a year and its a good time for an update. Noticing these types of things can help you save time, meet the right people and avoid arguments. During the pandemic, people are forced to communicate remotely and the word choices that people make will highlight how they […]
The Human Condition – Learning the Truth About People
Feel free to ignore this post at your own risk. We won’t argue with you. You’ll see why in the post. If you’ve lived long enough to see hundreds of irrational and illogical decisions made by people, you’ll build a new framework for how they tick. If you want the summary, everything you learned about […]
What is Decentralized Finance and Yield Farming – Easy Quick Read
For one reason or another, we’re getting a lot of questions about decentralized finance. Typically when a new industry is created, it is quite difficult to explain as most people are not involved. For example, the number of people who know the difference between bitcoin and ethereum is likely small. For fun we’ll go ahead […]
People Suffer from a Lack of Prioritization
If you remember life before the pandemic (only a few short months ago), there were common excuses for being out of shape: 1) they have long commutes, 2) they don’t have the time and 3) they are forced to eat bad food due to client meetings. Fast forward through the pandemic and what we learn […]

Use Technology or Be Replaced (Also Q&A Announcement)
Currently around 15-20% of sales are done online (this is a rough metric for retail brick and mortar vs. e-tail). Instead of bothering with the exact metrics the interesting thing isn’t the future (likely grows to 25% to 30% etc.). The more important item here is that it used to be 0%. So if you […]
Simple Ways to Make Your Life Easier
Since we’re entering into the economic recovery phase (over the next 6-9 months), it’s a good time to revisit decision making for your typical reader. For better or worse, the typical reader here is high income (over $200K per year) which is in the top 10% or so. The top 10% is always in a […]
What is Money? Fiat & Non-Fiat
For fun we decided this is a good time to explain the function of money. We use it every day. It will also explain why we’re always going to hold some gold/crypto even if both assets went to zero (extremely unlikely in our opinion). “Money” is essentially a solution to the coincidence of wants.
