Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©
He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

If you work in VC and you’re not following this blog, VC by the Numbers, I suggest that you do. VC by the Numbers discussed “Triple Crowns” and why these make for the best investments as compared to “unicorns”. In this blog (and in my book) I argue unicorns are overrated …
Bioenergetics exercises can be helpful in gauging and restoring your natural form if you have “trapped” energy in neuro-muscular imbalances. For those who wish to start on bioenergetics exercises I recommend reading and applying this book, The Way to Vibrant Health by Alexander Lowen, M.D. and Leslie Owen. From the …
