Understand How Markets Actually Work, Learning.Investing.Thriving.

A proper financial education. Frameworks, first principles, and the mental models that professional investors actually use. Built as a curriculum, not a content calendar. Honesty about markets. The counterargument gets heard before the conclusion. I try to back things up with facts and figures and do not feature sponsored content or affiliate links. A global perspective. Nearly 60% of LIT subscribers are outside the United States, approximately the same amount of time that I have spent living abroad. The occasional personal detour. Markets are important, everything else is possibly more so.
