Philosophical
The way I think about things — mindsets, values, and ideas I keep coming back to. The closest you can get to being in my head.
- When death feels like information
A reflection on losing a friend, the strange shape of grief, and the questions that keep circling when nothing makes sense.
- People think I'm good with uncertainty
When I ran my own consulting company, people said I thrived in ambiguity. I think that notion is wrong — it never felt uncertain to me.
- The two kinds of companies
A reflection on the two buckets companies fall into — the high-output kind and the living-your-life kind — and what that says about why we work at all.
- The people we can't share things with
I saw an ad I wanted to send a friend and stopped myself — and that reflex says something interesting about beliefs right now.
- The four P's, or how I organize my life
Why I split life into Personal, Physical, Professional, and Philosophical — the framework behind this whole site.
- The feeling you can't chase down
A friend's been chasing how it felt to be 25 and abroad. A stranger picking up a dog gave him the best answer I've heard.
- Same earth, different realities
Everyone knows people live different lives. I think it goes further — we're living in genuinely different realities, and they don't translate.
- Decided emotionally, rationalized logically
Humans are SO emotional — a quote I loved, why I'm guilty of it too, and a question about it I genuinely can't answer.
- It's the packaging, not the idea
'Growth mindset' makes me nauseous and I can't fully explain why — but I'm pretty sure it's the delivery I'm rejecting, not the idea.
