Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©
He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
I already commented on this WSJ article that came out this weekend about Ray Dalio’s management style: the article is superfluous, insipid and irrelevant at best. Succession is never easy at complex entities like Bridgewater. A stout Founder is always going to meet opposition. Remember what Sadhguru said: This is …
Talking about a high bar: From MIT Technology Review: “A proposed new social network is hoping to entice millions of people to pay to get close to superstars of technology, business, and academia, according to a pitch deck (pdf) sent to MIT Technology Review. The nascent site, called Column, already has major connections, …
My girlfriend sent me this link about Jennifer Lopez‘ workout and preparation for the movie Hustlers (2019). The workout is impressive to say the least…and most guys (not girls) aren’t at that level. I don’t want to shame you [all] and list any names. You gotta to do better. In …

Free resources is a celebrated series with reviews, classes, courses and interviews that have two things in common: they’re free (can be tremendously valuable) and they come suggested by your fellow readers. You can only find them on this blog. No one else does anything like this. So let’s get …
