- Bloomberg – The Economics Behind Grandma’s Tuna Casseroles Don’t judge yesteryear’s cooking by today’s standards.
- Vanity Fair – The Mogul and the Monster: Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Decades-Long Relationship With His Biggest Client Of the many mysteries that still surround the life and crimes of the notorious financier, the source of his wealth, and thus his power, might be the greatest. His long-standing business ties with his most prominent client, billionaire retail magnate Leslie Wexner, hold the key.
- Slate – The Most Irrational Number The golden ratio is even more astonishing than Dan Brown and Pepsi thought.

My Book:
When Anything is Possible – Wealth and the Art of Strategic Living
I wrote the book because of a problem I saw and experienced personally. As we pursue our dreams and achieve success, financial wealth is often a natural result.
Yet, the first steps we take to manage this wealth are focused on avoiding negative outcomes (unnecessary taxes, estate issues, losses in the stock market), rather than articulating what we actually want to do with our wealth.
The book is about how we shift from focusing on the things we want to avoid, to the things we want to accomplish with our wealth. Doing so requires a person to articulate 3 key items – Wealth Structure, Wealth Identity and ultimately a Wealth Strategy. The book walks through each of these items in great depth, and guides the reader through a process to develop each.
