The rules are different here
…because most people are playing a game they’ve never stopped to question.
Unstructured Notes is a newsletter about risk, return, and how to think for yourself — in money, innovation, and life.
Most people learn about investing too late. Fewer still see how it connects to how they think, work, create, and live.
I write this newsletter to change that.
In each edition, I share ideas, mental models, and lived experience to help you become a clearer thinker, a sharper decision-maker, and a more intentional builder.
I write about:
Money & investing — from core concepts to complex decisions, I explore how to understand risk and reward on your own terms;
Innovation — stories, frameworks, and signals from those pushing creative and technical boundaries;
Performance & mindset — reflections on discipline, learning, and playing the long game.
Why it matters
Investing is risk.
Innovation is risk.
Life is risk.
Most people avoid it.
Some people get better at navigating it.
This newsletter is for those who choose the latter.
If that sounds like you, start with this edition I recommend:
Make it, don't fake it
We are shaped by the opinions of others but that doesn't mean we are defined by them.
P.S. If this resonates, share it with someone else who thinks differently.
You can also find me on X, Instagram or LinkedIn for more ideas and signals between editions.
