Essays, breakdowns, experiments, and opinions I’ll defend on a call.

An index, not a blog. Unwritten papers are listed as forthcoming rather than hidden, so you can see what I think is worth writing down.

A playbook is a record of what worked for someone else. These papers are about what to ask instead.

  1. 01
    The playbook is the problem.

    On why borrowed answers fail quietly, and what to ask instead.

  2. 02
    The constraint is usually upstream of the channel.

    Why “which channel” is the wrong first question.

  3. 03
    Founder-led content fails when the founder is asked to perform, not to think in public.

    What the format is for, and what it isn’t.

  4. 04
    Paid ads amplify what is true.

    A field guide to what to fix before you spend.

  5. 05
    The lead you want is downstream of a sentence you haven’t written yet.

    On messaging as the first conversion step.

  6. 06
    An inventory of vanity metrics.

    Numbers that feel like progress, and what to look at instead.
