This was a great weekend that left little time for writing, and the time I did have I spent watching Squid Game. For those who can stomach the bleakness and violence of it, the show is pretty awesome. Below are some of my favorite pieces from this week – I’ll be back next Sunday with [...]

I’ve been wanting to write about Instagram for a while now, but have struggled with how to do so. I didn’t want the piece to be just another anti-social media, anti-young people, judgmental rant. If that’s what this ends up being, then please stop reading. My intention isn’t to shame anyone for using a platform [...]

I wrote at the end of last year about the importance of reflections. “Give yourself the time you deserve to reflect upon 2020. It wasn’t all garbage and time wasted indoors.” The year had decimated everyone’s goals but had made room for new ones, which in my case meant a ton of quality time with [...]

“Know what you will stand for and, more important, what you won’t stand for. State your flat-ass rules and stick to them.” General Mattis I’ve come across so much great content this week and am struggling with what to focus on. The above quote is from Ryan Holiday’s 18 Things I Stole From Some of [...]

I’m fortunate to have had my entirely private education paid for by my family. It’s a gift that I only now fully appreciate, imagining the absurd feeling of writing five-figure checks every year for my children’s education, knowing fully well what else I could do with that money (beach house! weekly meal at Nobu! my [...]
