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 ›

I used to wear my exhaustion like a badge of honor. Late nights at the office, emails sent at 2 AM, weekends spent cranking out work while my phone buzzed with texts from friends I kept blowing off. I told myself this was what it took. This was the price of building something meaningful. My ... Read more Read more ›

Here’s a common misconception that gets repeated everywhere: if you want to accomplish more, you need to work harder. More hours. More hustle. More grind. But what if I told you that some of the most productive people I know actually work less than their burnt-out peers? When I was running my first startup in ... Read more Read more ›

I’ll admit something that still makes me wince a bit. When I was fresh into corporate in my twenties, I took every piece of career advice at face value. My dad had worked in a factory for decades, been active in the union, and I was the first in my family to go to university. ... 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 ›

There’s a quiet truth that most people don’t realize until they reach midlife: Some of the most successful, fulfilled, and impactful people didn’t “peak” in their 20s, 30s, or even 40s — they peaked after 50. And not because they suddenly became lucky, discovered a hidden talent, or reinvented themselves out of desperation. No — ... Read more Read more ›

I picked up Ray Dalio’s “Principles” a few years back, expecting another business book full of obvious advice dressed up as revelation. What I got instead was something that made me rethink how I approached nearly everything. Dalio built Bridgewater Associates into one of the world’s largest hedge funds, but the book wasn’t really about ... Read more Read more ›

Watching my father work in sales management for thirty years taught me something uncomfortable early on. He did everything “right” by middle-class standards. Showed up on time. Hit his numbers. Played politics when necessary. Yet when promotion time came around, he got passed over repeatedly while others moved ahead. That wasn’t bad luck. It was ... Read more Read more ›
