Do You Like It, or Do You Just Think You Do? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My friend shared a quote this week, by , that I have read probably 50x times:“Constraint is one of the main ingredients in what breeds a great startup. Not because struggling is inherently noble, but because having less forces clarity.”Styled by Code was ostensibly talking about startups, brands, and capital. I happened to read it while sitting in a café in Copenhagen, scrolling Substack over coffee and in awe of every damn detail of the room around me.Exposed wood next to chrome chairs. Aged ce
How to Close a Company and Keep Your Reputation Intact (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DISCLAIMER: A quick but important note: closing a business also comes with real legal and financial steps, contracts, taxes, final filings, obligations to vendors and lenders, that fall somewhere within these ten steps. Those pieces matter enormously, and if you are in this position, please get an actual lawyer and accountant involved. But those are also the obvious ones.

The Things I Did to Prevent Burnout This Month - JULY 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt

So let’s talk about why.Here’s the truth…Most Americans do not take time off. Facts. And while there are so many deeply personal reasons as to why, the guilt we feel about taking time off is a construct. It’s apart of a system that is working according to plan. The more anxiety, or concern, you feel about taking a day of rest... the m
The Things I Did to Prevent Burnout This Month - JUNE 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past month, we said goodbye to my dog, Lou. I want to say so much more than that but I am not ready to. The piece Lou deserves is not something I can write from inside the thickest grief I have ever swam through. Lou was the love of my life and when I finally write about her it will be pages long and will take everything I have. I want to give it that when I am ready. What I can tell you right now is that this past month has held some of the saddest days I have experienced in a very long ti
