This week I officially launched my new Substack “inner entrepreneur.”
My first post is about how you can use entrepreneurship as a tool for personal development.
I’ll be using the Substack to share my insights and learnings on the internal game of entrepreneurship, based on my personal experience building my businesses and working with clients.
This launch is part of my new mission to “build tools for internal and external growth” for entrepreneurs.
This writing will be focused on the internal game, while my next product will tackle the practical/strategic side of entrepreneurship.
Very excited about it.
It would mean a ton if you read it, and if you enjoy, subscribe.

📋 2. The Merits Of The Giant Whiteboard - Blog by George Mack
In his blog titled 9 fun ways to increase your agency with zero grinding required, George Mack shared this banger hot take:
Get a giant whiteboard in your home - My most contrarian belief: We could increase the global economy by 2-3% just by installing large whiteboards in every home. The whiteboard forces you to commit Kidlins’ law: If you write the problem down clearly, then the matter is 50% solved. With a whiteboard, it’s more like 70%; there’s an extra 20% because it stays there over the next few days, whispering into your creative subconscious whenever you walk past it. All in on whiteboards in 2025.

🪴3. How To Thrive As A Highly Sensitive Person - Article In Psyche
It is my guess that the majority of my readers would identify as a HSP (highly sensitive person) - they make up 15-25% of the population.
But what is a HSP?
In 1997, the psychologists Elaine and Arthur Aron identified a group of people who displayed unusually high levels of sensory sensitivity. These individuals described being troubled by noise, smells and textures, such as the background din at restaurants, the smell of strong perfumes, or the feel of particular clothing, and so on. The Arons soon discovered that the sensitivity of these people extended beyond the senses to also include emotional sensitivity and complex inner lives. In a world that feels optimized for those who can shut off their senses entirely, this guide will teach you:
- How highly sensitive people think and feel differently
- How to understand and accept your high sensitivity
- How to practice controlling your intense feelings and challenging your core beliefs
You need to understand that being highly sensitive is actually a gift and a massive strength.
You just need to learn how to harness it.

🏛️ 4. Architecture/Design Inspiration I’m Loving - Divisare
On our call last week, my client Alex Ayllon (founder of Behagen), shared this architecture website with my group of clients.
Alex is a former architect, turned brand advisor for high-end hospitality and real estate.
Divisare is a library of images, blueprints, and case studies about contemporary architecture.
They say: “Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without distractions.”
It has been an enjoyable source of inspiration for me this week, to the point that I’m considering subscribing for $75.
You can browse for a while without subscribing though.
I recommend starting by sorting by “Houses” and pick a topic that interests you or check out “Selected Projects.”
A few spaces I have enjoyed:
