We’re sharing knowledge and opinions from a bumpy, winding path of experience. The content leans towards buying, selling, investing and learning about businesses and real estate rather than crypto or trading.
Target
If you are stuck or held back by the usual, the typical, the expected, the easy, the incompetent, the self-serving, or the meaningless, then consider some alternatives to, or distractions from, the nine-to-five daily grind. If any of the following statements resonate, this site might be for you.
- You’re ambitious beyond your current career.
- You’re uber-curious and want to leave no stone unturned.
- Systems of work and making a living are broken and it’s time to forge a better way.
- You don’t see a future in your job, company or profession.
- Your mission is best achieved charting your own course.
- You resist the beaten path and seek the road less traveled.
- You enjoy jumping in and mixing it up.
- You’d like to see change for the next generation.
- You’re realistic.

Glossary
Glossaries are designed to give the reader what they want in a matter of seconds. That said, I wanted to create a glossary with layers, so be warned that glossary entries are mini-lessons. Many entries have links to other glossary terms, external links, or blogs on this site, enabling learners to go further.
