He uses his experience as a trader to look at decision-making and work investments through the lens of options, pricing, and other financial models. I enjoy his perspective because unlike other financial types, he seems to have a proper appreciation of non-work / non-productive time. We explore his recent break from trading, his creative journey writing on the internet, and find...

Sep 27, 2021•1 hr 13 min•Ep 94•Transcript available on Metacast “You can’t study or learn your way into a new identity” - I love this quote from Darren Joe. He’s been thinking about carving a different path from 2003 to 2004. He said that he was driven by a natural drive to be independent and do his own thing. I found this pretty impressive because in those years not many people were doing what he was doing. He recently published a book titled The Fail-Safe Entrepreneur. In it he argues that almost all solopreneurs strive for three things: Freedom, Adventure...

Oct 19, 2020•1 hr 3 min•Ep 78•Transcript available on Metacast Steph has a hard time identifying as anything. Remote worker, writer, or coder don't really do it justice. The thing that stands out when you talk to Steph is that she is a LEARNER. Through competing in chess as a child she learned the valuable meta-skill of how to improve and never really saw any reason why she couldn't just take something up. This mindset is invaluable in today's world and this is demonstrated by the way Steph landed her job at The Hustle (hint: it didn't involve a formal appl...
