It’s part psychology, part spirituality, part “what the hell just happened.” No lessons. No formulas. And I don’t pretend to have answers. I write because I’m endlessly fascinated by the strange business of being human.
Once a week, I send a 5-minute read: a story from real life, an insight from a conversation, or a question that helps you see your own life from a slightly different angle.
No spam. No funnels. No homework. One email on Fridays.
What starts with losing every fixed role turns into a cross-continent search for answers through brain sciences, Burning Man, Buddhist monasteries, and too many airports.
What emerges isn’t a new identity, but a new structure: a decentralized life, grounded in clarity, stability, and agency.
Part memoir, part reinvention report. For those reshaping how they think, live, and lead.
Essays, stories, and poems about freedom, identity, and the parts of life that don’t fit neatly into a plan.
Drawn from personal experiments and research into how we live, relate, and rebuild. You won’t find conclusions here. Just reflections, metaphors, and carefully drawn moments meant to help you see your own life from a new angle.
Stories from off the beaten path and the transformations they quietly demand.
A hedge funder who left finance to fund generosity. A 16-year-old who turned depression into a world-class sport. A dropout who built his own school system. These are shape-shift stories...the kind you won’t find in bios or LinkedIn feeds.
Essays, stories, and poems about freedom, identity, and the messy parts of becoming yourself.
View all essays →I grew up between cultures and went searching in all the usual places—new cities, new careers, new obsessions. I didn’t know what I was looking for. Then life dropped me into rooms and conversations I couldn’t have prepared for.
I sit with people who’ve questioned, risked, rebuilt, and survived their own turning points. These are the conversations that stayed with me.
All conversations →One thoughtful email a week. A rare gem about the strange business of being human. The kind that makes you think,
“So, it’s not just me.” You can leave any time. No hard feelings.
