The Goal: smarter, better, faster, stronger.
I didn’t start writing here to make money, or get famous, or to stroke my ego. I started this blog as a way to connect with people and ideas. To help, both myself and others. I started this blog as a repository for the interesting, useful, provoking, and life-changing things I hear and read, and sometimes, on good days, even think.
I was fortunate enough to be born into a great family, who had the means to provide me with a fabulous education and surround me by some of the most interesting and successful people in the world. The education and the people have given me access to some world-class advice, as well as some world-class criticism. I collect all of this, search out more, and even dream up some of my own, with the goal of sharing it with others who can hopefully get as much out of it as I have. Some of the things I cover here include:
