"If you don't have what you want, there are three possible reasons.
1. Since it's what you want, you can't act to get it.
2. It's not what you want, but you feel obligated to pursue it.
3. What you want is a defense against satisfaction."

What I Do

I'm a market builder who thinks in systems but operates at street level. My edge is seeing what a market is missing before the market knows it's missing it— then moving fast enough to matter before someone else notices.I work at the intersection of human behavior and broken incentives. Not because I planned it that way, but because that's where the interesting problems live— and where the most underpriced opportunities tend to sit.I'm self (some might say un) educated, which means I learned how to learn before I learned anything else. Pick up any domain fast enough, find the angle that isn't obvious, move before the window closes.My approach is direct: find the thing that's obviously true but somehow not being acted on, then make it impossible to ignore.The window is always closing. I move accordingly.
