  • Ep. 23 - How I Got Started Day Trading

    In this episode I break down my approach to ramping up in the incredibly overwhelming and intimidating world of day trading. Now I am by no means an expert nor a financial advisor but think that the steps I outline could help you onboard onto any new interest. I take my years as an analyst and the tools I used to ramp up on new subjects and apply those to day trading.

  • Ep. 22 - The Peloton is Winning

    I am not a group-ex guy but the Peloton is pretty dope. In this episode I review the Peloton, my first impressions of it as a product and also how it fits into the market. I share my initial reaction to taking delivery and having my first ride and also review the latest member statistics. The bottom line is that a ridiculously high user retention level just further emphasizes the value proposition and great market fit. 

     

    Care a lot more about a lot less.

  • Matthew McConaughey's New Book Greenlights: Thoughts and Highlights, Part 1

    He was the RomCom guy. But then he reinvented himself into probably one of the best actors in Hollywood. How did he do this? Why did he do this? Who is he really and what does he think about?

    In this episode I share 4 meaningful highlights from his new book Greenlights that start to unpack the answers to these questions. I have been so impressed with the depth of the content in this book and the entertaining way in which he shares his thoughts, stories and ideas in the audiobook that I wanted to share them hear with you.

I then share my thoughts on the approaches he mentions along with my own experience implementing some of these into my life.

About Pursuit of Utility

From the publisher's feed

Every week I have some version of the same conversation. With a client, with a friend, with myself. Someone stuck on a problem that feels bigger than it is. The gear they haven't bought. The spreadsheet that's "fine." The thing they can't start.
