I want to show you the three places every interview falls apart now, and why most people are unhireable without realizing it. Then the embarrassingly simple thing that can beat every other applicant. In a frozen market, it's the closest thing to an unfair advantage you've got.
Being early isn't a cognitive skill — it's a structural one. Why most people are late to everything, and how to build the luck surface area that lets dispersed information reach you before it reaches consensus.
Companies are cutting junior roles to save money. But the grunt work they're eliminating is what built the judgment of everyone above — and nobody's accounting for what that costs in ten years.

NYC doesn't have one group chat — it has five. Why the city's fragmented networks are an underrated advantage for building a company.
What two years of building AI products actually looks like — the rebuilds, the shifting skillsets, and the gap between the demo and reality.
A $1M subway ad campaign got vandalized in 48 hours. The gap between how the AI industry sees itself and how the public does is wider than anyone admits.
A practical framework for how asset managers and investment firms should think about deploying AI — from augmenting analysts to building proprietary data advantages.
