Daily Writing

Articles

One post a day, filed into five buckets:

01

Crypto

Markets, cycles, and hard-won lessons from a decade of trading — what I got right, what I got wrong, and what I'd tell a new trader today.

02

Marketing

Performance creative from the inside: what $10M+ in tracked ad spend and 1,000 creatives a month actually teach you about hooks, offers, and scaling DTC brands.

03

Business

Building, buying, and exiting companies — the venture-by-venture truth from seven startups, one sale, and everything in between.

04

Scams & Security

The scam-spotting files. How phishing crews, fake support lines, and get-rich-quick pitches actually work — from someone they've targeted.

05

Life

The Army, discipline, health, family, comebacks — the operating system underneath all of it.
