This has been frequently requested of me ever since my earlier post about ‘The Six Month Conversation’ resonated with so many people. This follow up is about the framework Alexis and I devised with hopes of guiding our life journey together independently and as a couple. I know this post is arriving several years late, after tons of requests, so thanks everybody for your patience!
Happy Friday!
This is a post to share an article by Byron Wien, of The Blackstone Group, one of the world’s leading investment firms. This article highlights 20 life lessons that Mr. Wien says he learned during the first 80 years of his life. These lessons highlight things one can do to better oneself while enriching the lives of others.
This article first came across my feed while I was reading up on value investing and personal growth. It is something which I've continued to reference since then. The article was no longer accessible in its original link (update: is now here) so I am re-posting it for ease of reference and so it is not lost again.
Happy Friday!
This will be a very short post, and it's mostly my thinking around a puzzle-me-this notion.
I've recently encountered a number of situations where people acted highly irrationally. In some cases, their behaviour was very clearly against their own self-interest. The behaviour, if continued, would negatively impact their lives in a significant way. And the thing is, most of the time they know this is the case and can't take the steps to remedy their situation.
To what extent does an individual's surroundings influence their judgment? How long is enough for a person to wallow in their misery? How can an external party impact the person who's struggling? What is getting in the way of the individual taking steps to make a change?
Happy Friday!

Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.

The above quote by Princess Diana beautifully captures a core facet of how I live life. In this post, I will share with you a personal practice I've named the "Charity Fund," which is an important part of my philanthropic pursuit.
I'm sharing some of the advice* to pay it forward, in hopes that it will contribute positively to your life, love, business, and other pursuits.
