Start Here
The cleanest route into how I think and what I am building.
The best first move is usually the founder thread: Edzy, product judgment, hiring, incentives, and the practical texture of building something real. The rest of the archive matters too, but it makes more sense once you have that spine.
If you are new here, do not start with the full archive. Start with the founder notes, then branch out based on what keeps pulling your attention.
Recommended First
Read the founder notes behind Edzy
This is the clearest signal on the site: product choices, company-building, incentives, hiring, and what the work is teaching me in real time.
See The Product
Understand what I am actually building
If the founder writing resonates, the Edzy page gives the product context behind the notes.
Broader Reading
Use the curated route after the founder lane
Once you have the main context, this gives you a tighter editorial path into the rest of the archive.
Reader Journeys
Use audience-specific paths only if you need them
Founders, operators, technologists, fitness-minded readers, and book lovers each have a guided route once you want a more tailored way through.
If You Care About Startups
Read the founder notes
I write about hiring, sales, operations, customer behavior, incentives, endurance, and what building Edzy is teaching me.
If You Care About Systems
Read the technology notes
These pieces are less about gadget worship and more about tools, incentives, design choices, software habits, and how products win.
If You Care About Being Human
Read the health and reflection notes
Swimming, running, recovery, self-awareness, attention, discipline, family, and the small observations that quietly shape a life.
