Hello my friends,

This week, if you want to invest in yourself:

1. Read this newsletter ✔️

2. Listen to Balaji Srinivasan on The Tim Ferris Podcast. ✔️

Every so often I discover a piece of writing or media that completely restructures the way I view the future; Balaji’s conversation with Tim is one of them.

3.5+ hours of polymathic thinking on wealth, work, and personal sovereignty; it’s a lengthy but highly accessible dialogue. Skip scrolling social media and give it a listen.

If we connected on the internet this week it was a pleasure. I truly appreciate every message, follow, and click.

Let’s get into it,

— Andy

Out of Office

“Read 500 pages (like this) every day,” — Warren Buffet

Reading is the ultimate cheat code and I’ve tried many different techniques to make it as low friction as possible.

Buying an Amazon Kindle was a real breakthrough. Aside from being easy to travel with, it satiates my digital dependence without the distraction of a web browser.
