Principles for Success: The Call to Adventure
2025-11-18
I’ve taken my best-selling book “Principles” and distilled it into a video mini-series that focuses on the life principles that have helped me the most. This will especially help those who are graduating this Spring and entering “the real world.”
This is Episode 1: The Call to Adventure, I hope you find these helpful.
If you’re worried, you don’t need to worry — and if you’re not worried, you need to worry.

One of my principles is that if you’re worried, you don’t need to worry — and if you’re not worried, you need to worry.
That’s because worrying about what can go wrong will protect you and not worrying about what can go wrong will leave you exposed.
Why I’m Pessimistic About the Debt Problem
2025-10-08
The way I see it, any serious effort to solve the debt crisis will likely come too late.
It’s a timing issue. 2026 is a midterm election year — politicians won’t want to take the painful steps needed to improve our economic picture: cutting spending, raising taxes, and the like.
Any sort of bipartisan effort that comes after will both take time and be unlikely to be effective, because those commissions generally don’t work very well in practice.
That’s what it looks like to me. I’m curious to hear if you see things similarly.
