How’s this for a contrarian opportunity? Prime London residential property. I’m thinking about flats and houses in South Kensington, Chelsea, Notting Hill, and Knightsbridge. Okay, you could easily spend £1m just to secure a very bottom-rung apartment near the Natural History museum – so perhaps ‘houses’ is a stretch for all but a handful of moguls. But then again, if you do have a few million quid to spare then why not grab yourself a […]
Charlie Munger once asked me: ‘How can someone give away fifty percent of profits and make billions more than if he’d kept it all?’ Before I could answer, he told me about Les Schwab, a tire shop owner who understood incentives better than almost anyone. What Schwab discovered will change how you think about business. Public Release: July 15. Members have access now.Join us.

Crises come around every so often — personal crises, family crises, national crises, political crises, market crises, and global. The events are often predictable, but their timing is not. Scientists predicted a virus such as COVID-19 could infect humans and cause severe health and economic consequences. But no one knew the specific date, where it… The post How to Prepare for the Next Crisis While Times are Good appeared first on Retire Before Dad.
Haha, one of the AI tools helped me generate that title about our Alaska Cruise, and I chuckled when I saw it, so I went with it! 🙂 Anyway, it’s been a long time, friends! I haven’t written a post for a couple of months now. I said I was going to scale back and, boy, did I! I’ve been super busy with a bunch of things (travel included), so it was nice not putting […]
Not gonna lie — I’m not a big book reader. I wish I was. I love the idea of grabbing a book and reading for hours, but honestly, it just doesn’t happen often. I do like books with lots of pictures and illustrations, though Like Be Here Now by Ram Dass. It’s a favorite. Anyway, I looked around for books that dive into waste, circular design, and environmental impact, and these ones really caught my eye. I keep seeing them everywhere – on Instagram, Goodreads, Reddit – and the reviews are solid. If you’re curious about sustainable living, or how a banana ranks on the carbon footprint scale, these aren’t your usual fluffy “zero waste tips” books, with stuff you can easily find on the internet. They’re data-driven, inspiring, and full of stories that stick. Even if you’re not a big reader, like me, I bet you’ll find something here worth your time. Let’s jump in. Books on sustainability, systems & environmental impact 1. The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability — Designing for Abundance by William McDonough & Michael BraungartIf you want to move past “reduce, reuse, recycle” to thinking about designing systems that regenerate and create abundance, this is your book. 2. Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by the same authorsA classic in sustainable design that’s about circular economies and making products with a positive environmental impact. 3. How Bad Are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything by Mike Berners-LeeA sharp, data-driven but easy-to-read look at the carbon footprints of everyday things. It’s funny, surprisingly optimistic, and makes the science digestible. Systems thinking & climate reality 4. The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-WellsA sobering but essential wake-up call on climate change’s realities — scary, yes, but also full of urgent calls to action. 5. This Changes Everything by Naomi KleinKlein links climate change to capitalism and social justice, arguing that tackling one means tackling the other. 6. The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth KolbertExplores the ongoing mass extinction caused by human activity — part science, part storytelling. Books on practical innovation & environmental solutions 7. Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming edited by Paul HawkenA massively researched guide with 100 solutions to reduce carbon emissions and reverse climate change. 8. Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation by Paul HawkenFocuses on regenerative practices that heal ecosystems and communities, with inspiring examples. 9. The New Climate War by Michael E. MannThis one calls out the fossil fuel industry for making us feel like climate change is our fault (spoiler: it’s not just about using metal straws). It breaks down how we got here — and what actually needs to happen to fix it. 10. Is It Really Green? by Georgina Wilson-PowellThis one’s like a sustainability myth-buster. It breaks down everyday eco dilemmas (paper towels vs hand dryers? almond milk vs oat?) and gives you clear, guilt-free answers. Super practical, easy to flick through, and actually kind of fun to
I remember my first “mobile phone” like it was yesterday (calling it “mobile” was a stretch). It was the late 1980s, I was in my first sales role, and our VP wanted all sales reps to be accessible while traveling. I recall the technician installing the “box” part of the phone in the trunk of my company car, and how I had to remove it from the mount and into a case for carrying. The […]

Before launching a cleaning service business, Kyle Stroud was bouncing between bartending shifts and real estate deals, both unstable and unpredictable. Some months were flush. Others left him scrambling to cover rent. He didn’t have any cleaning experience. Just a willingness to hustle and a family connection. His sister and brother-in-law had started All Ways Organic, an eco-friendly carpet cleaning business in North Carolina. Kyle saw an opportunity to bring the concept to Phoenix and […]
Withdrawing from the noise leads you down a path toward clarity. Recently, at a party, I was told, “I need to get out more,” because I wasn’t aware of a local restaurant. Do I? At 61, I’m not looking to add many things to my life. It’s a better use of time to maximize what I already have. I love to work out in my home gym, constantly trying to perfect techniques and routines, which takes up a…The post Become An Investment Hermit appeared first on A Teachable Moment.
