I write to think. Over a decade of essays, that thinking has settled into four threads — how communities coordinate and fund what matters, how to build a career without losing yourself, how organizations actually work, and how to live well while doing all of the above.
Each theme below opens with a few hand-picked essays to start with, followed by the full archive.
The four themes
- Coordination & Public Goods — Funding mechanisms, grants programs, DAOs, and the data behind making Web3 ecosystems work.
- The Art of Work — Careers, product craft, consulting lessons, and staying competent (not just looking it) in the age of AI.
- Building Better Orgs — Work culture, leadership litmus tests, and the economics of how organizations make decisions.
- Living Well — Attention, contentment, long rides, deep sleep, and the slow compounding of a deliberate life.
