I trained in finance and started in equity research and consulting. Then I found I enjoyed asking questions as much as building models.
About
I have always been more interested in how things work than how impressive they look from the outside.
Writer, entrepreneur and consultant. I trained in finance, spent a decade asking founders and CEOs how they built what they built, and now build in AI and vertical entertainment.
Featured in
My career makes more sense backward.
Three chapters, one habit.
In 2014 I launched The Bulletproof Entrepreneur™. The conversations turned into writing, and writing became the center of my work. Today I interview CEOs and founders for Business Insider.
Those questions led me to vertical entertainment: short, mobile-first drama and the business forming around it. I started building with Vertical Drama Jobs in 2025.
The habit: find something early, talk to the people closest to it, understand how the money works, and build something useful around it.
