You Can Do All the Hard Work

Two years of redemption history on one property, and someone still took the position for less than two dollars a year.

The Penny That Told the Truth

A jar of pennies nobody throws away, even knowing they’re worthless — that instinct turned out to be right.

You Don't Come Back to Things the Same Way Anymore

A printer that suddenly needed a login just to print something I already owned — that’s where this one starts. It traces a quiet shift from ownership to conditional access that shows up in more places than anyone’s printer, once you know to look for it. This is a public episode.

The Rate Was Just the Start

My first tax lien cost fifty dollars at an eighteen percent rate — and the rate turned out to be the least important number on the certificate.

The Only Asset They Can't Print More Of

The feeling that the week is already gone before it starts isn’t a productivity problem — it’s a currency problem. This one is about time as the one asset that can’t be recovered once spent, and what debt, ownership, and lifestyle creep actually cost you in hours, not dollars. This is a public episode.

The Dollar Didn't Change. The Plumbing Did.

I once swapped out of a collapsing stablecoin with no time left to ask what was actually backing it. This one traces what the GENIUS Act changed in how stablecoins work underneath the dollar you already use — and why that now runs straight through Treasury demand and government borrowing costs.

Liquid Isn't the Same as Free.

Two days’ notice to withdraw my own cash from my own bank — that’s what sent me looking for what “liquidity” actually means. This one traces the gap between money you can access and money you actually control, and two lesser-taught ways to hold capital without handing over the keys. This is a public episode.
