I Saved Thousands of Reddit Posts and Learned Nothing—Here’s What Actually Stuck
I went through a phase where I was obsessed with Reddit. Not all day, just whenever I had a spare moment. Waiting for the subway: I’d scroll. Eating: I’d scroll. On the toilet: I’d scroll. At night, lying in bed, I’d tell myself just two more posts, then look up and it was twelve minutes past one. Back then it felt deeply satisfying. Every day I was cramming something new into my head. One day I’d nail down hindsight bias, the next I’d memorise sunk cost fallacy, the day after I’d stumble on a Cold War trivia thread. Over drinks on the weekend I could toss around terms like behavioural economics and catch the slight pause in my friends’ expressions. That private little buzz. I genuinely believed I was making progress every single day.

Dinner, messages, a bit of scrolling, and then the familiar pressure of tomorrow waiting too early.

Preparation Is...
Facebook sends memories every day of our activities from years past. I have had a Facebook account for over 25 years. I love getting those memories. Many of my friends are no longer on Facebook for various reasons. However, new people are always joining the site and requesting to become friends. Therefore, people are often coming and going.

The Second Act: How Experienced Founders Are Redefining What Business Leadership Looks Like After 50
There is a prevailing narrative in business culture — particularly in the technology and startup world — that equates youth with innovation, speed with intelligence, and disruption with leadership. The founder in the hoodie. The twenty-something who saw something the incumbents missed. There's a version of this story that has become so dominant it functions almost like received wisdom: the best time to build something is when you're young, and the older you get, the more you're managing legacy rather than creating future.

Why the First 100 Days of Any Strategic Engagement Determine Its Success
There is a moment in every engagement — whether I'm stepping into a company as an advisor, helping a family office reposition its portfolio, or guiding a management team through a cross-border transaction — where the entire arc of the relationship is quietly being decided. It rarely happens in the boardroom. It happens in the first few weeks, in the small exchanges, the early deliverables, and the moments where trust is either built or quietly eroded.
