Soon, I’ll be relaunching the Rational VC Podcast under a new name: Rational Founder.
Scroll down to enter your email and get updates. I’ve written new essays that will launch alongside the new podcast, and each episode will be accompanied by a summary. This newsletter now officially serves as the Rational Founder newsletter.

The core idea remains the same: a podcast exploring Timeless Books you can apply to life and business.

This time, it comes with a support network for founders and access to Rational Notes, a living repository of insights from every book I read. It’s for solo founders, independents, and curious autodidacts -- those building beyond VC hype, corporate life, and mimetic thinking. The goal: sovereignty.

In an age of short-form brain rot, I’m continuing to make the most Timeless business content on the internet through a long-form audio format that draws Big Ideas from books across disciplines for the curious-minded seeking Worldly Wisdom.

It’s what feels like play to me. I’ve been making YouTube videos since 2006 and podcasting since 2016.

The only difference now is the name, and that I’ll be doing it solo. The “VC” in the title feels irrelevant at this point, and against my values. The rename follows the direction of my life, mind, and values.
