Things I genuinely enjoy and return to.

Real-world marketing breakdowns with actual numbers and screenshots. One of the best resources for anyone doing growth work.

A collection of small, delightful web experiments. The kind of site that reminds you the internet can still be genuinely fun.

Paul Graham's Essays

Required reading for anyone who thinks about startups, ideas, or how to live an interesting life.

Not Boring by Packy McCormick

Business strategy made genuinely fun. The best thing I have read each week, most weeks.

Life is a Picture, But You Live in a Pixel

One of the best things Tim Urban has written. The idea that life looks one way from the outside and entirely different from the inside. Hard to forget once you have read it.

Andy Math

Visual math explanations that are genuinely satisfying to watch. Makes you wish you had paid more attention in school.

John Mayer — Interviews Compilation

A cut of John Mayer interviews stitched into one. He talks about craft, creativity, and what it means to care deeply about what you do. I keep coming back to this when I need to reset.

Dirt by Huckberry

Short documentary series about people who make things and live differently. Beautifully shot. The kind of content that makes you want to do something with your hands.

How is this Website so fast!?

Short video on what actually makes a website fast. Satisfying if you care about how the web works under the hood.

Tim Urban of Wait But Why — Y Combinator

Tim Urban talking about how he researches and writes about the hardest topics — AI, Fermi Paradox, Elon Musk — without being an expert in any of them. The idea that curiosity and wide reading can get you further than narrow expertise. I found this reassuring in a way I did not expect.

Marketing Operators

The most honest podcast about how D2C brands actually run their marketing. No fluff, no vanity metrics — just operators talking about what works. I have logged 3,000+ minutes and still go back to old episodes.

Operators

Operators talking plainly about how DTC brands actually work. Less theory, more reality.
