May you live in interesting times. […]

Dealing with Back Pain and Back Injuries

Crypto Interview with BowTiedBull (Bitcoin, DeFi, Investing)
Wall Street Playboys was one of my favorite blogs that I followed all the way from 2014 to 2021, when it was shut down (Wall Street Playboys Archive is now available). It was run by real Wall Street professionals who came from nothing (they had to live in a car for a while!) and provided […]

Are you in the right environment?
The hardest thing for the human mind to do is to do nothing. The mind is a machine hard-coded to interact with the environment. You go to the doctor’s office and you sit in the waiting room for 2 hours as he treats other patients who got there before you. It’s incredibly boring to just […]
Cut the Crap and Get Down to Business
