Hi Reader, I’m heartbroken by the devastation caused by the fires here in LA. So many in our community—friends, colleagues, and fellow RadReaders—have lost their homes and everything they own.

In times like these, as a community there are so many ways to help— offering shelter, donating to rebuilding efforts, funding GoFundMes, providing essentials, volunteering, or supporting our heroic firefighters. If you’re looking...

Hi Reader, How's your weekend going? Last night we saw a one-night showing of Interstellar 5555, an anime film scored to Daft Punk's Discovery album. It was incredible. Next year marks the 10th anniversary of my pivot away from Wall Street. I've been reflecting on the trade-offs, especially the tension between courage and complacency. At the time, the financial risk felt like the most courageous act. But as the years have passed, I've realized the real growth came from reshaping my identity,...

Hi Reader, I've got a small announcement to make. After 400 consecutive weeks of short essays, I'm hitting pause. (I'm not pausing the newsletter, just the essay.) Why?
