Principles

How I think and work.

Not rules handed down — habits that have been tested, broken and repaired over years of making videos, writing books and working with real clients and students.

01

Explain, don't impress

If an idea cannot be said simply, it has not been understood yet.

02

Steelman first

Every argument is answered at its strongest, never at its weakest.

03

Change your mind in public

Being wrong is information. Saying so is part of the work.

04

Respect the reader's time

Every page, video and class should be worth the minutes it asks for.

05

Ideas, not people

Criticise beliefs and systems; never the dignity of a person or community.

06

Finish what you start

A finished small thing beats an unfinished big one.

07

Learn across fields

The best answers usually sit between disciplines.

08

Do the boring part properly

Deadlines, sources, backups and follow-ups are where trust is built.

09

Stay a student

Every expert was once confused; the good ones remember it.

10

Be useful first

Every practice exists to solve a real problem for a real person.

11

Say what you know — and what you don't

Confidence and honesty about limits belong together.

12

Keep it human

Behind every comment, client and student is a person having a day.
