What 40 years of medicine taught me about decision-making
When the data is incomplete and the stakes are high, decide on first principles, not consensus. Then communicate with humility. Patients — and teams — forgive being wrong; they don't forgive being uncertain when it mattered.

Your culture is what you tolerate, not what you write down
Every culture deck I've reviewed sounded inspiring. The reality was in their Slack at 11pm and how they handled their first low-performer. If your values aren't visible in those two moments, they aren't values.

Why your first 10 customers should hate part of your product
If your earliest users love everything, you've built something safe. Founders who win pick a sharp edge — fast, opinionated, unfair to some — and refuse to dull it. The job of v1 is to be polarizing, not perfect.

The interview question I ask every senior engineer
‘Tell me about the worst production incident you caused.’ Juniors freeze. Mid-levels deflect. Seniors get specific, take ownership, and tell me what they changed. Hire for the third reaction.

Three questions to ask before your next career move
1. Will I be the dumbest person in the room? 2. Will I learn a skill I can't Google? 3. Will I respect the person I'd report to in 5 years? Two yeses is the floor. Three is rare. Don't move for less.

The single best advice I'd give my younger self at 25
Compound is a real force, but it works on relationships, not just money. The five people you invest in early — peers, mentors, mentees — will define the next 30 years. Choose with intent, show up with consistency, and you'll never need to network again.

How to read a balance sheet in 4 minutes
Start with cash. Then look at debt vs equity. Then current assets vs current liabilities. Then trends across 3 years. If any of these scare you, the company is already telling you the story — most people just don't listen.

Retirement is not a finish line. It's a second startup.
After 35 years in banking, the hardest thing wasn't slowing down — it was the silence. I now mentor four founders a week. The wisdom we accumulated isn't ours to keep; it's a debt we owe the next generation.
