Five years ago, I started devouring books. I've read 200 books since then, and it's easily the best decision I've ever made.

For each book, I took detailed notes to retain the key insights of my investment in reading. These book notes have become my foundation for life. They remind me about how to live, lead, succeed, and be a good person. 

I want you to be able to use these insights to improve your life as well, so I’ve created Foundations, a growing digital notebook with lessons from 100+ timeless books.

How will Foundations be useful to you?

  • 🚀 Quickly skim key takeaways before deciding if you want to buy a book.

  • 📚 Find books and insights that help you solve a problem.

  • 🤓 Learn new principles that will help you sound smarter and live better.

  • 🧠 Remind yourself about lessons from books you read a long time ago. 

The best part about Foundations is that it grows and evolves over time. Every month, you will get access to new books and summaries. As your life and needs evolve, you’ll find new value in the resource. You pay once and you get lifetime access.

  • I've been sharing insights online for many years. Over 1.2 million people have visited my personal blog, and nearly 5,000 people trust me in their inbox every Sunday.

  • Instead of spending thousands of hours reading and buying the books yourself, you can use Foundations to more quickly understand the relevant takeaways.

  • I add additional insight to key lessons from books by applying what I've learned from visiting nearly 50 countries while building a career that includes time as an M&A investment banker, a growth marketer at various startups, and years of writing and podcasting as an online creator.
