We won’t talk about Bruno. No. No. No. But we will talk about Bruno’s niece, Encanto’s Luisa Madrigal. Encanto is the story of a magical hidden town where (nearly) every family member is blessed with magical superhuman powers. Antonio can talk to animals. Isabela can grow flowers at will. And Luisa (pictured below) has superhuman …
A few a times a year, the stars will align in Nazaré, off the coast of Portugal. The oceanic swell, tropical storms and tides will perfectly coincide to create the conditions from which arises an epic sea monster. The 100 foot wave. Garrett McNamara is the OG trailblazer in this feat of man versus wave. …
Here’s a tale about two friends. And our divergent approach to investing. This friend (who we’ll call Jim) and I are of the same “cohort.” We were both born in 1979. We both went to fancy colleges. Our kids are the same age. And we both spent significant chunks of our careers on Wall Street …

Let’s play a game together. I want you to close your eyes and think back to your early 20s. Bring into focus what you were doing. Where you were situated. What you were wearing. Whom you were hanging with. And the dreams and desires that consumed your intimate daily thoughts. Now ask yourself the question: …
“How do you deal with the existential angst that the perfect job doesn’t exist?” I was asked this heavy question from a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed MBA student at a recent talk. “You know there’s a company that pays you $1,000 to take the week off,” I responded. “But there’s a rub,” I continued. “In order …
This week, we witnessed one of the greatest Internet rabbit holes since the 28.8k modem came to the scene in the early 90s. For a few bucks, you could buy a slice of the US constitution. Yup, we the people could be owned by the people. It was a remarkable feat watching a collective of …
Supply chain issues be damned. After what seemed like an endless wait, it finally arrived. My sleek new iPhone 13 Pro. Sexy black Graphite. 3 Cameras. 4K video. Ridiculous battery life. Everything necessary to take RadReads to the next level, right? The warm glow of this Shiny New Toy had yet to wear off when …
I love ice cream. Jeni’s. Ample Hills. Salt and Straw. Van Leeuwen. If it’s cold, creamy and chocolate-y – I love it. But as a 42 year old, ice cream and the Notorious B.I.G. have something in common: Mo ice cream, mo problems. (That is a terrible dad joke.) You see, the Chocolate Gooey Brownie …
I have a confession. Each day I write down on average 23 tasks in my to-do list. But there’s something unique about three of them. You see, I write them down with the earnest intent of getting them done. But here’s the rub. They’re actually already done. Yup, I write tasks down tasks just so …
I’m a quarter French, so yes I’ve eaten a frog. (More like cuisses de grenouille.) I’m three-quarters Cambodian, and once ate a deep-fried tarantula at a market in Phnom Penh.
