Podcast Of The Week: Tom Morgan On Curiosity Calling
Tom Morgan is one of my favorite financial professionals for this reason: he’s curious. Not just about the standard financial person curiosity, but everything - from literature, to Jungian analysis, to spiritual energy.

Podcast Of The Week: Tales From The Crypto [FTX Podcast Collection]
Somebody else made a “Tales from the Crypto” joke already I’m sure, but I thought of it now and I’m running with it damnit.

I’ma I’ma (Fruit) Hustla

Fortunes Are Collected At Peaks And Created In Declines
The world feels like its trying to end all around us sometimes. Once you’ve been through it a few times, once you’ve come to terms with hating how true “this too shall pass” is because it’s never passing fast enough, and once you’ve embraced how “things are always darkest before they go completely black,” you’re … Continue reading Fortunes Are Collected At Peaks And Created In Declines
