He ran the team like he’d been doing it since before I was born, which he ... Read more

If you spend enough time around genuinely successful people—not the loud ones on social media, but the ones who quietly build real, lasting success—you start to notice a pattern: They all have an unusual relationship with self-control. Not the rigid, punishing version we associate with perfectionism. I’m talking about the grounded, calm kind of self-control—the ... Read more Read more ›

I still remember the text from my college buddy Mark: “Dude, this is the third time you’ve bailed. Let me know when you actually have time for your friends.” That stung. But he was right. During my first startup years, I’d become the king of saying yes. Yes to every networking event. Yes to every ... Read more Read more ›

If you had met me in my early twenties, you would have met someone who believed discipline was something you were either born with or you weren’t. I genuinely thought successful people had some rare inner circuitry the rest of us didn’t. They woke up early because it was “natural” for them. They stayed consistent ... Read more Read more ›

The tech elite says it’s defending Western values. Then it tells you exactly what those values are. I owned Palantir stock. Past tense. This isn’t a confession designed to make me look virtuous.

I’ve noticed this pattern since I started writing about class. People earning $300,000 call themselves middle class. People living in million-dollar homes describe their situation as “comfortable.” ... Read more Read more ›

We’re constantly told to hustle harder, grind longer, and outwork everyone else. But then Bill Gates drops this line: ““I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” Wait, what? It sounds counterintuitive. Maybe even wrong. But after running two startups and ... Read more Read more ›

I spent most of my thirties trying to make everyone happy. When I left corporate to start my own consultancy, I thought the freedom would be exhilarating. But instead, I found myself saying yes to every client request, nodding along with bad ideas, and bending my recommendations to avoid conflict. Running that solo business forced ...

One of the funny things about wealth is that the people who genuinely have it rarely feel the need to show it. After running a business for years, meeting founders, investors, families with old money, and self-made entrepreneurs, I’ve noticed something interesting: the wealthiest people I know never look like what movies or Instagram say ...

“Upper class” sounds like something out of a period drama… until you realize people quietly use it every day to compare themselves: But what does that actually mean in numbers?
