Current Project: Reading books about entrepreneurs and sharing what I learned from them

Mission: Create a library of wisdom from notable entrepreneurs that current entrepreneurs can leverage to increase their chances of success

Cumulative metrics (since 4/1/24):

• Total books read: 84
• Total blog posts published: 553

This week’s metrics:

• Books read: 1
• Blog posts published: 7

What I completed in the week ending 10/12/25 (link to the previous week’s commitments):

• Reread Expectations Investing, an advanced value-investing framework by Michael Mauboussin and Alfred Rappaport, because I want to use this framework to build a model to evaluate a public company
• Added five more books to the library on this site; these, which I read in 2017, were about Raj Rajaratnam and the Galleon Group, Steven A. Cohen and SAC Capital, KKR’s RJR Nabisco buyout, and how to manufacture luck

What I’ll do next week:

• Read a biography, autobiography, or framework book
• Add four more books that I read before 2024 to the library on this site—see more here

Asks:

• No ask this week

Week two hundred eighty-nine was another week of learning. Looking forward to next week!
