Fighting off the fear

The last two months or so, I've struggled to do any personal writing. The reason is plain simple: a dark cloud of unknowing overshadowed my being and the stress thus created pushed me away from it... It started to appear a pointless exercise to write about random stuff on my mind, when I had so much bigger things to worry about: namely, financial instability. Turns out it's a b*tch - and there's very little one can do to control it. Turns out that freelancing for web3 projects has got even wo...

See both of the episodes and some clips below. AND get ready for the week ahead!

Deeply Interdependent

The global economy has become so tightly interwoven that no country should expect to become completely self-sufficient. Rather than making efforts to decouple our economies, we need to accept that, given the complexity of modern technology, interdependence may be the only viable path forward.

Development happens on the margin

Every single real estate development project I have worked on has generally gone something like this:Design the project.Budget the project.Realize: "Oh shit, this is way too expensive and will never work."Cut out some of the parking (a loss leader on most projects).Look for value engineering and other creative opportunities.Repeat the cycle until the project works (hopefully).This is so typical that if I went through this process and everything just magically worked, I would be immediately su...

#17 — Building DAB*

What happens when a brand doesn't need a marketing team to express itself? DAB (Decentralized Autonomous Brand) is a new category at the intersection of AI, Web3, and brand strategy. Three layers — Community, Brand System, AI Agents — working as one living entity. This manifesto explores the evolution from Headless Brands to autonomous brands that think, act, and evolve on their own.

Thinking out loud about tokenized real estate

One of my predictions for this year was that we would see the mainstream adoption of tokenized real-world assets. More specifically, I said that we'd see some noteworthy office building or apartment building get tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain. Maybe. I'm not sure that we'll see a singular event this year or that we'll be able to call it "mainstream" just yet. According to this recent article by Chris Lehman, co-founder of a tokenized REIT called Groma, it's still early days. Real estate...

The Past, Present, and The Future of Prediction Markets

Prediction markets are having a moment. The 2024 US elections were the inflection point when they called the outcome ahead of mainstream media and captured global attention. Since then, volumes have grown 225x, proving every doubter who thought it was a one time phenomenon wrong. But what feels new is actually a revival. Prediction Markets have been around for centuries now.What are Prediction MarketsPrediction markets are markets where people trade on whether a specific future event will hap...

15 Years in NYC

How It StartedYesterday marked 15 years since I moved to New York City, so I thought I’d reflect a bit on my journey to get here. I wanted to live in NYC since my very first internship here (way back in 2008), but I couldn’t get a job in NYC straight out of journalism school in Chicago. So instead I moved home to Philadelphia, and worked in the city for a year. All my friends in Philly knew me as, “the girl who wants to move to New York.” I didn’t mind. At least my direction of travel was cle...

Put up the Writer-Signal

I've spent the past two months at Network School (NS). It's a community near Singapore where ambitious people come from all over the world to build, think, and live together. I've met a lot of interesting people at NS. But the two most thoughtful were both writers. When they left, I kept thinking: how do I meet more people like them? It's not a coincidence that writers are thoughtful. Writing well requires thinking well. The craft selects for depth. So if I want to meet more writers, the answ...

Pioneering Spirit

Emperor Norton never ate at the French laundry

At the peremptory request and desire of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I, Norton I, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, thence of San Francisco, and now resident in the cloud (which I am assured is not a meteorological phenomenon but a series of warehouses in Oregon), do hereby issue the following Decrees for the amelioration of evils under which this once-great Republic labors. I am told things have worsened considerably since 1880. From what I can gather, Con...

The historic drop in US international migration

The WSJ recently published a pair of articles (here and here) talking about where the US is growing and shrinking — through charts. The three components of this are domestic migration, international migration, and births minus deaths. One of the key themes for the year ending in June 2025 is that the country is seeing significantly less international migration. According to the WSJ, more people moved out of the US than moved in last year for the first time since the Great Depression.Internati...
