"The unexamined game isn’t worth playing." – Socrates, probably.
Winning isn’t just about playing the game, it’s about understanding it. Strategy isn’t just for cards and competition. Strategy can be applied everywhere around you.
Whether playing a game, tuning a workout, or searing a steak, I approach it all through the same lenses: play, adapt, understand.
These are strategy guides for life, work, and play. “Knowing” how to play is easy, but true understanding changes how you play.
