About Me
Since I was a kid, I’ve loved how economics can explain both how the world works and how to make it better. But my first career was in corporate marketing, which deeply disappointed my mother.
During lunch breaks, I gambled on dot-com stocks and made enough to retire at 25 to a remote Thai island. One day, I took a speedboat into town for provisions, walked into an internet café, and discovered I’d lost nearly everything in the dot-com crash.
So I bartended at an Osaka dive bar, then returned to marketing at Takara, the Japanese company behind Transformers.
Eventually, I craved more brain food so I earned a PhD in economics and became an MBA professor in deeply un-woke Taiwan—where I failed to buy enough Bitcoin to retire a second time.
With stints at the Heritage Foundation, Montreal Economic Institute, and Mises Institute, I now explain the most important stories in economics, investing, history, and freedom through my videos and this weekly newsletter.
I hope you enjoy reading!
