1. Publishing my book “A Private Conversation with money” 2. Recording and editing the audio version of my book 3. Eliminating small friction and irritants in my life one at a time

I have both bootstrapped and raised 22 million for a startup during the dot com boom. In hindsight, the VCs should not have invested in my company. I had the kernel of an idea that in the long term, was valuable and produced patents that are now widely used, but …

As a therapist and coach, I haven’t seen someone in my office in maybe 5 years. I see some powerful advantages coming out of video sessions. I can see people from all over the world. (Half my clients are international.) With improved AI, I can get clues to their physiology, …

As I watch nascent AI as represented in human likeness and see some early prototypes, the coaching and therapy industry can be duplicated by artificial humans. Far out? Don’t be so sure.

Google Docs is number one for collaboration, but for organization, tasks, and planning I use Airtable. What I like is the multiple views (i.e. Kanban) and the ability to create filters. This allows me to see just the issues I want with one click. Once in an issue, I can …

Stop it! As a “money” coach, some of my clients are active independent traders. Some of them don’t have the personal identity, self-worth or beliefs about how the world operates to be successful. Many clients come to me after having blown out their capital multiple times. If they are unable …
