The Iconoclast
The Iconoclast is a weekly newsletter crammed with unorthodox analysis on current events & macroeconomic trends.
The world doesn’t really need another newsletter, but I send it faithfully into the ether anyway. The Iconoclast talks about weird ideas like:
Insights into emerging markets, after traveling to over 50 countries and living in more than a couple of them.
How to use rare trading card price indexes to gauge the disposable income/overall health of the economy
Launching a Cubesat to low earth orbit starts at around $60,000
How I spent a week in Liberia in 2014 documenting Ebola
Tobacco/nicotine positives and negatives
Why I’m bullish on the uranium mining and refinement industry, especially considering geopolitical developments since 2022.
Past silly topics
How the luxury watch market tracks with meme stocks & disposable income
Overlanding & camping with a Gwagen
Restoring a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle into a Baja-style bug
Pros and cons of getting into venture capital & angel investing
Subcultures: where did the goths and emo kids go?
My 40-day round-the-world trip (Iceland, Morocco, Dubai, Cambodia, Bali, New Zealand)
Building & selling online internet communities
A little bit about me:
Here's the top-line bullet points:
Self-made via an unorthodox career trajectory
Don't know how to make hundreds of millions, but I'm confident anyone with half a brain can make a few million
Traveled to 50+ countries
I've invested in every asset class from stocks, bonds, crypto, venture capital, art, collectibles, real estate, jewelry, and precious metals
Even though I’ve been writing for years, I’ve yet to be canceled (despite my best efforts). This newsletter is opinionated, biased, and a bit bizarre: but that’s what makes it worth it.
My sincere hope is that you will disagree with things I write about, but who wants to be in an echo chamber, anyway?
