I’m afraid to lose money. I’m afraid new things I try won’t work out. I’m afraid the people I love will leave me. I’m afraid people won’t like something I wrote. Or a podcast I did. I’m afraid the future won’t be what I want it RIGHT NOW to be. That it will look different. […]

I count money in the shower. I think of every opportunity I have. I think of how much money each opportunity is going to give me. Then I divide it up. I used to divide it up: parents, kids, retirement (assuming I’m going to not care after age 80 but who knows), etc. It was […]

I needed to figure out how to change my entire life. Because the current one was going badly. It was 2002. A lot of people had it bad. But sadly I didn’t care about them. I was really depressed. My entire career at that point had added up to zero. There were some successes. But […]

Wall Street is crooked. This is not really a surprise to anyone. I lived on the street. And I worked on the street. Wall Street starts at Broadway and continues down to Water Street. Along the way, it gets crooked. Right around Broad Street it starts to curve. If you are standing at one end […]

I was starving all the time. I lived in one room, had one futon and had a three inch screen on the floor next to the futon. But the TV didn’t work because you needed cable and I couldn’t afford that. So I started a business. Many people think, “I have an idea” and then […]

It’s not Friday but who cares. The stock market is lying to you. This is the worst open of a year since 1932, the middle of the Great Depression, when there was 20%+ unemployment and it was only going to get worse. Banks were about to get all shut down. People were on soup lines. […]
