He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
Poker pro and two-time U.S. Women’s Chess Champion and Woman Grandmaster Jennifer Shahade hosts a popular strategy-based podcast called “The GRID“. In an Nov. 26, 2019 article in PokerNews, she says poker has taught her “to remain aware of those moments when she is just coasting by, or not taking enough …
I have featured primal and animal movement videos on the blog before. Now the WSJ has -finally- cached up with this fitness trend so easily dismissed by my haters. “Major gym chains are offering new classes where participants act like animals by getting down on all fours and imitating apes, …
The news of the week is, of course, the failure and takeover of Silicon Valley Bank by regulators. Years ago, when I talked about the widespread mess in the venture capital world, almost nobody paid attention. Now with a run on this bank, folks are mindful of some of the …
We all know Elon Musk got scot free of the securities charges filed against him for his 420 2018 tweet. Stavros Gadinis, Director of UC Berkeley’s Center for Law and Business: “I think they fell for the argument that Musk did not set out to deceive investors, but that he …

There are hundreds, if not thousands of newbies -some of whom bill themselves as coaches – who post on the subject of testosterone and anti-aging within the space of “self-improvement” for men. 2. Eat more eggs. (No you can’t have too many) 3. Rest for 2-3 minutes between sets, train …
There aren’t many blogs dedicated to men’s self-improvement left in the world. Even less so blogs written by finance professionals. Since years ago, I subscribe to the updates to two blogs [left] that define their space, one is David Asprey’s and another Michael Syding’s, the former [and more recently, active] …
It seems that every time I write about HBS, the more I get attacked. The WSJ did a piece on Harvard’s Yacht parties last weekend: The Ultimate M.B.A. Networking Event? A Yacht Party in Croatia. (they don’t get attacked, since journalism on that scale can’t be silenced). The folks who …
