  • 20 lessons from a performance coach + poker coach on building a service based business. It’s been a helpful overview with concise pointers to keep in mind.. kind of like a checklist format of picking the game you want to play, how to think about consultation for clients, leveraging my existing assets and empathizing with the client.

  • Learned about Scuttleblurb, an investment blog run by David Kim. An inspiring story of a value investor who decided to create his own subscription based investment blog that doesn’t offer buy/sell stock advice but focuses on business model analysis. The construction of a business that revolves around his obsession, what people will pay for and his own abilities.
