Simple ways to think better, do more, and find hidden chances.
Welcome!
True genius rarely emerges from the center. It lives at the edges, the overlooked intersections where established fields meet, where conventional wisdom ends, and where most people aren't looking. These margins are where innovation happens, where opportunities hide, and where competitive advantages are born.
Genius Margins is built on a simple philosophy: the most valuable insights and opportunities exist not in mastering what everyone already knows, but in exploring the spaces between established domains. It's at these margins where patterns reveal themselves to those equipped to recognize them.
Over 1,000 curious, ambitious builders have already joined this journey.
What to expect
Each week, I share frameworks, mental models, and actionable strategies that help you navigate these margins with confidence. My essays strip away complexity to reveal the simple principles that drive exceptional performance, whether you're building a business, developing your career, or pursuing creative work.
I don't focus on generic advice or abstract theories. Instead, I break down specific approaches to:
Recognize patterns others miss
Make better decisions with incomplete information
Take calculated risks when outcomes are uncertain
Build systems that compound your advantages over time
Develop the specific knowledge that creates lasting value
The margins aren't just places of opportunity, they're where clarity becomes your greatest advantage. When everyone else is drowning in information overload, knowing how to focus on what truly matters becomes your edge.
