Different Sides

How I learn, decide, and build.

This page is the non-blog side of the site: the channels I actually watch, podcasts I return to, books I recommend, and the work principles I operate with.

What I Actually Watch on YouTube

Channels I consistently watch for frameworks, investing perspective, and technical depth.

  • All-In Podcast Clips

    Market narratives and company-level pattern recognition.

  • Y Combinator

    Operator-level startup and product thinking from people actually building.

  • Replace With Your Personal Must-Watch

    Add your own channel that shapes your worldview weekly.

Favorite Podcasts

Long-form conversations I use to sharpen decisions and perspective.

  • Acquired

    Deep strategic breakdowns of enduring companies.

  • Invest Like the Best

    Great interviews on capital allocation, incentives, and business quality.

  • 20VC

    Tactical conversations across venture, product, and company building.

Book Recommendations

Books I revisit for decision quality, strategy, and operating discipline.

  • The Most Important Thing — Howard Marks

    A practical mental model for risk, cycles, and second-level thinking.

  • Poor Charlie's Almanack

    Timeless latticework thinking and judgement principles.

  • High Output Management — Andy Grove

    Still one of the best books on managerial leverage and systems.

Career and Work

How I think about work: compounding skills, leverage, and choosing environments with asymmetric upside.

  • Principle: Build for Durability

    Focus on systems that keep working under stress, not quick wins.

  • Principle: Stay Close to Revenue and Users

    The shortest feedback loops produce the best strategic intuition.

  • Principle: Stack Wealth + Technology Fluency

    The edge is understanding both capital logic and execution detail.
