I was sitting in a coffee shop last week when I overheard two guys in their late twenties talking. One was complaining about how everyone around him seemed to have it all figured out while he was still “figuring things out.” His mate nodded and said something that stuck with me: “Yeah, but some people ...

My dad worked in a factory outside Manchester. Every Friday, he’d come home, put his wages on the kitchen table, and my mum would sort through what went where. Nothing fancy, no spreadsheets or apps. Just discipline and a clear understanding that money doesn’t stretch itself. Growing up in that household, I absorbed certain habits ... Read more Read more ›

I used to think goal-setting was the hard part. Write down what you want, break it into steps, maybe throw in a vision board if you’re feeling ambitious. Done, right? Then I’d watch the goals sit there while life happened around them. What I eventually noticed—through my own failures and watching people who actually delivered—is ... Read more Read more ›

The words we use don’t just communicate what we think. They reveal how we were taught to think about money, work, and worth. Language is a class marker. Sociolinguists have known this for decades: the words we choose, the phrases we reach for without thinking, the assumptions baked into our everyday speech all signal where ... Read more Read more ›

Amazon just announced a chip that could break Nvidia’s stranglehold on AI infrastructure. At their re:Invent conference on December 2nd, 2025, AWS unveiled Trainium3, and the numbers tell a story that most tech coverage is underselling. The headline figures: Trainium3 delivers four times the performance of its predecessor. It’s built on a 3-nanometer process. Amazon ... Read more Read more ›

I used to be one of those people who’d crash into bed at midnight after scrolling through my phone for an hour, then wake up feeling like I’d been hit by a truck. My mornings were a fog of coffee and regret, and I’d spend the first two hours of my day just trying to ... Read more Read more ›

I used to wake up at 8:45am, roll out of bed, and stumble straight into work calls. No breakfast. No exercise. Barely time to think. For years during my corporate days, I told myself this was just how busy people operated. Then one morning, after yet another day that felt reactive and scattered, I watched ... Read more Read more ›

Singapore just made its first arrest for etomidate abuse. A man was found vaping a surgical anesthetic — the same drug doctors use to sedate patients before intubation — and he’s now in a Drug Rehabilitation Centre. The Central Narcotics Bureau announced it in March 2025 with the usual language: vigilance, emerging threats, zero tolerance. ... Read more Read more ›

I watched my father navigate corporate life for thirty years. He worked late, skipped vacations, and treated stress like a badge of honor. He climbed, sure, but he also got passed over for promotions repeatedly while younger, less experienced colleagues leapfrogged him. The lesson I took away wasn’t about working harder. It was about working ... 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 surveillance state isn’t coming. It’s being assembled in plain sight, one leadership change at a time. Last week I wrote about selling my Palantir stock after CEO Alex Karp explained, calmly and without embarrassment, that constitutional scrutiny of potential war crimes was a business opportunity for his company. The veil came off. He said ... Read more Read more ›

When a tech CEO invokes values, ask what those values are positioning him for. In June 2016, Sam Altman — then running Y Combinator, now running OpenAI — published a blog post comparing Donald Trump to Hitler. “To anyone familiar with the history of Germany in the 1930s, it’s chilling to watch Trump in action,” ...

The class that insists it’s “comfortable but not rich” while sending their kids to schools that cost more than the median income. Nobody thinks they’re upper middle class. 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 ›

The habits are real. So is the reason we don’t talk about what makes them possible. A few years ago I had coffee with two friends on the same day. Both were in their mid-thirties. Both earned roughly the same income. One had six months of expenses saved and was maxing out retirement contributions. The ... Read more Read more ›

I was standing in line at a coffee shop last month when I overheard two people comparing their productivity routines. One was talking about waking up at 4:30 AM, the other about their meditation practice. Both sounded exhausted. Neither seemed particularly successful by any measure that actually mattered. Here’s what I’ve noticed after interviewing over ... 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 ...

I used to think success required massive, dramatic changes. When my second startup was failing spectacularly, I kept looking for the one big pivot that would save everything. A new product feature. A different business model. A game-changing partnership. I never found it. The company burned through our funding in eighteen months. But here’s what ... Read more Read more ›

We don’t like to think of ourselves as “privileged.” It feels uncomfortable, almost accusatory. Most people imagine privilege as something huge and obvious — wealth, power, elite connections, a life of luxury. But the truth is much subtler. In the U.S., privilege often hides in the ordinary. It shows up in the quiet advantages that ... Read more Read more ›

For years, I thought I had a productivity problem. I’d download the latest app, try the newest time management technique, or reorganize my entire task system. Again. The irony? All that optimizing was making me less productive. I was constantly tinkering with my systems instead of actually doing the work. I’d spend an hour perfecting ... Read more Read more ›

For years, I thought my body waking me up at 6:45 AM without an alarm was just a quirk. Then I started interviewing people who’d built careers and lives they genuinely loved, and I noticed something. Almost all of them had figured out how to work with their mornings instead of fighting against them. These ... Read more Read more ›
