    Henry Ford

    Henry Ford (1863–1947) was an American industrialist and engineer best known for being the founder of the Ford Motor Company. His corporation developed and manufactured the Model T to be mass-produced on the assembly line, transforming the automobile from a high-end luxury to a working-class necessity.

      It’s Not Always About How Much You Make

      Mar 20, 2021

      EVERYONE has their own money rule that they swear by. My one: “It’s not about how much you make; it’s about how much you keep and where you keep it.” Back in my corporate days, I was highly paid. It was probably a bribe to keep me in the job, as I ha

      Start With What's Right

      May 9, 2023

      I WOULDN'T HAVE thought that a book about an obscure school of ancient philosophy would put me in the manufacturing business, but life is full of surprises. Several years ago, after writing a book called The Daily Stoic, I started an email list that

      Think about a start-up, but at scale. An archetypal tech start-up is an egalitarian band of people on a mission. It’s not terribly hierarchical — people do whatever needs to be done, but they’re all pointed in the same direction. They keep iterating

      The Power of 'Onlyness'

      May 1, 2018

      How do you define ‘onlyness’? The word actually doesn’t appear in the English dictionary, but I would argue that it should. Simply put, it means that anyone’s — and quite possibly everyone’s — ideas matter. The genesis of the word starts with the fac

      sometimes naive (or, to be generous, old-fashioned), sometimes condescending, sometimes wise, fully interestingFor example, he seems to be against mixing financing and business, which, sure, can be very problematic—doing so is how we end up with things like Theranos. But he seems to ignore the fact that not all people are in a position to be able to just start their own business and make enough money to keep it running immediately. He also implicitly is against work/life balance. According to him you can do that, but you’ll never amount to much. But then his whole business is built around the type of labor where people do the same thing every day for their whole career (though he does allow people to move around jobs). He’s pro opportunities for everyone, yet has a whole anti-Semitic section, in which he makes claims that are apparently true just because he believes them to be true (which is a move he makes throughout the book, but usually less egregiously).
