Inspiration

Things I’ve read, saved, underlined, or sent to a friend.

Books, essays, talks, podcasts, and ideas I keep coming back to. Less a recommendation list, more a record of what has shaped me.

A History of the World in 6 GlassesBook

A reminder that history can be told through ordinary things, and that culture, economics, and power often show up in unexpected places.

John Crowley, The Joys of CompoundingPodcast

His story, and his love for his daughters, is a reminder that you can refuse to accept the world as given, and that urgency, conviction, and love can make almost anything feel possible.

Constellation Software, Business BreakdownsPodcast

I liked this because it made compounding feel cultural, not just financial. The company is a reminder that incentives, patience, autonomy, and taste in people can become an operating system.
