Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to my digital garden. I write on Obsidian and sometimes publish them here.

About Me

Here’s if you want to know more about me and my strongly held principles. A lot of readers here have emailed me, so I want to preface that I am very open to emails and answering questions! (You should read my README first though, and maybe Email.)

Useful Lists

One fact about me: I make lists for everything! These lists are probably more valuable to you than the long-form writings I produce, so I recommend you browse them!

Here’s all the lists I have, but here are the most useful ones:

1. Advice (for young people like me)
2. High signal reads
3. My favorite newsletters
4. A compiled list of non-obvious talent groups
5. My book tracker
6. High ROI productivity apps
7. A list of high-alpha companies I follow
