Hi Reader, How's your weekend going? Last night we saw a one-night showing of Interstellar 5555, an anime film scored to Daft Punk's Discovery album. It was incredible. Next year marks the 10th anniversary of my pivot away from Wall Street. I've been reflecting on the trade-offs, especially the tension between courage and complacency. At the time, the financial risk felt like the most courageous act. But as the years have passed, I've realized the real growth came from reshaping my identity,...

Hi Reader, I've got a small announcement to make. After 400 consecutive weeks of short essays, I'm hitting pause. (I'm not pausing the newsletter, just the essay.) Why? I'm not feeling super energized by that style of writing. But more importantly, I'm working on writing a book! I'm already 20k words deep, I cannot wait to share it with you all. On a separate note, we're ramping up our next group coaching cohort for early 2025. If you're feeling professionally stuck, we'll help you move...

Hi Reader, I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start and all of my cities are repp'ing in the MLB playoffs. Learning AI has ranked high on my list (next to making music and improving my flexibility). A year ago, AI was a nice-to-have. This year it's become a I-can't-imagine-life-wit And my friend (and fellow RadReader) Ozan Varol created a course (that I've taken) that will get you up to speed in an easy and practical way. The AI Advantage (enrollment closes today, 10/19) will teach...

Here is a list of resources to support the residents of the Western North Carolina. Support Hurricane Helene Relief → The uncomfortable...
