Born to be a Comedian - Built to be an Investor (and now building games too)
This site exists because I have an unhealthy obsession with finance. My favorite definition of finance has always been "the art and science of managing money."
Art AND Science.
A beautiful balance. All you need to know is that I started my journey interested in corporate finance. That evolved into personal finance. And once that was capped out I moved onto decentralized finance. All 3 of these domains have a direct impact on your life, whether you realize it or not. Hopefully I can look back on these pages when I'm older and see where everything went right or where it all went wrong.
I also build software and games, which is where Zen Poke comes in.
Writing things down helps to better synthesize and articulate new ideas. These posts are mostly used to map out investmnent theses that I believe have a good shot of playing out. If I'm not capable of writing an entire article on why I should buy something, I probably shouldn't buy it.
Not limited to investment posts.
Zen Poke is a portrait-first mobile needle-felting puzzle game I am building for iOS and Android in Unity.
Zen Poke is designed as a calm, tactile-feeling puzzle break that helps you slow down instead of getting pulled into endless scrolling. The core gameplay loop is offline-first.
This site hosts the app's public information, support, privacy policy, and legal pages while development continues.
A long time ago I wrote and published a book called "Financial Jokes for Financial Folks." I created a page on here so anybody can read them for free if they're deep into accounting and want a cheap laugh.
Buy the book on Amazon by clicking it below if you want to give it away as a gag gift or something.
