They're rich (but not free)
|
Hi Reader, The flu wrecked me this week. But I'm on the mend (and sadly will miss Four Tet at the Kia Forum). I also wanted to celebrate a new milestone - the RadReads site is fully migrated to our new domain KheHy.com. More on this below and don't worry, nothing changes on your end. BTW, did you know we're 38 days from the end of Q1 - how on earth did that happen? If you're looking for powerful frameworks to Supercharge Your Productivity, we got you covered.

Here are this week's top reads: // one"F*** You Money" is useless without the "F*** You"5 minutes | The Way of WorkWhat’s the point of financial freedom if we’re still prisoners in our own minds? I see this all the time with my coaching clients — they’re rich, but not free. So how does one achieve mental freedom? It might involve getting rid of some sacred cows. // twoIt’s time to give up on the longevity experiment10 minutes | Outside Online“When my father died at 53 despite doing everything ‘right,’ I realized our obsession with longevity is misguided.” While Bryan Johnson spends millions swapping plasma with his son (and tracking his er*ctions), science confirms our biological blueprint is the ultimate arbiter of our lifespan. Maybe we're better off spending time with loved ones than chasing immortality. Aging, with all its challenges, remains a privilege many never receive. // threeAre 401(k)s becoming obsolete?7 minutes | Of Dollars And DataI normally wouldn’t go for a click-baity post like this, but Nick always makes sound arguments. We already know that the average tenure at a job is plummeting. Now add in exponential shifts in AI (hello, Deep Research). What does that mean for the venerable 401k and your 35 year investment horizon? Stories from my lifeWhile I was laid out with the flu, I finally completed an ambitious 2025 project: redesigning and migrating my website. KheHy.com became available for the first time in a decade (for $1,500!) and I had wanted to sunset the name RadReads. While that name will always hold a special place in my heart, it no longer served the broader mission of my work. (Thankfully, I have no plans on changing my name.) I had so much fun building this. I built it from nothing using a modern tech stack (Next.js, React, TailWind) and entirely through AI-driven coding. It's blazing fast, highly customizable and will let me create much more interactive content (um, a KheHyBot?) for y'all. As I've shared, I've been obsessed by the potential of this new coding movement, which was catalyzed by my participation in Nat Eliason's Build Your Own Apps course.

Hi Reader, Don't forget to spring forward tonight if you live in the US. This week's market volatility really got to me - it was a nice run of up and to the right and I wrote a bit about it below. I've also been working with a handful of folks who just got their bonuses and are looking to pivot into a new chapter of their careers. Together, I can help you improve your relationship to money, navigate an "identity earthquake and rediscover aliveness. Apply to our coaching program → Here are...
Hi Reader, I hope everyone's having an awesome start to the weekend. No concerts for us, but on deck we've got Four Tet, Barry Can't Swim and Rüfüs Du Sol. This tweet made me smile with pride: I'm 27 years removed from an introductory Comp Sci class but have spent 5 hours a day in 2025 learning how to use Cursor. (I even burned through $50 worth of credits!) As we saw with DeepSeek, the pace of innovation is frenetic. I'm excited to be on the bleeding edge of it all - at a young 45 years old!...
Hi Reader, Happy weekend! We just got back from the Jamie XX show at The Shrine Auditorium. Here's a video This month we also crossed a serious milestone. I've been sending this newsletter for 10 years. Many of you have been on this ride for the entire decade. And whether you're a veteran or reading this for the first time - thank you.
