The greatest threat to generational family wealth isn't market volatility or poor investments—it's knowledge entropy. Every conversation, insight, and lesson learned that isn't captured systematically is a wealth of knowledge permanently lost.

The optimal pricing of goods and services represents a fundamental economic problem wherein traditional supply-side analyses prove insufficient. Contemporary demand-side methodologies, particularly the Four-Point Price Sensitivity Model, enable precise calibration of the price points.

Savouring every moment with my best friends over dinner in Australia. It's bittersweet but filled with love and laughter. Cherish these times, as you never know when they'll be the last. 🌟❤️ #Goodbyes #CherishedMoments

Individual learning follows a power law curve where each incremental gain in knowledge/skill requires exponentially more time investment:

K = t^(1/α)

Where:
K = Knowledge gained
t = Time invested
α = Learning coefficient (typically 0.3-0.7)

Let's talk about the real cost of "convenient" cloud solutions:

- Perpetual payments
- Dependency risk
- Data vulnerability
- Lost control
- Reduced optionality

The path forward:
1. Self-hosted alternatives
2. Open-source tools
3. Local-first architecture
4. Knowledge investment

The shift to SaaS isn't progress—it's digital feudalism.

Your digital tools should be assets, not liabilities.

Build your technological sovereignty. Own your stack.

Your Sovereign Computing strategy should mirror your investment portfolio—diversified, resilient, and aligned with your long-term objectives.

Austrian Economics teaches us about time preference and capital structure.

Low-time preference entrepreneurs often fall into a trap: over-engineering systems before proving market demand.

Your time has an opportunity cost. Leverage should follow demand, not precede it.

I genuinely believe that family offices could be investing in "family intelligence hubs"—a sovereign system for capturing and deploying family knowledge capital.

Many founders obsess over scalability before achieving product-market fit. This is backwards thinking.

'Just because something isn't scalable, doesn't mean it's not your next best step.'

The path to wealth requires disconnecting time from economic value.
