The Little Pursuits Guide for Founders in the Messy Middle
A weekly reset for clearer priorities and real progress.
If you’re building something and feel pulled in 12 directions, welcome.
My goal is simple: help you make one cleaner decision each week.
Little Pursuits is for founders and leaders who don’t need more advice: they need clarity on what matters each week, momentum on one priority, and accountability in the messy middle.
On Mondays I publish one short essay with:
one neuroscience / psychology lens to see the situation differently
one tool or idea that you can try this week (tiny experiments)
one real founder story (and what actually helped them move forward)
Start with these 4 posts
These are the fastest way to understand what I’m about:
What to expect if you subscribe
insight into the inner game of building (stress, avoidance, confidence, motivation)
tactics that work when you’re tired (not just when you’re inspired)
stories that normalize the messy middle (so you don’t think you’re failing)
weekly nudges back to agency, so you ship, decide, and move forward

And if you’re new here: reply to any post and tell me what you’re building.
I read every message. I’m always learning founders’ real pain points so I can share better tools, support, and connections.
