About

When I was laid off from a hedge fund job, I went from working 60-70 hours a week to nothing. This job was high octane, aggressive, mentally stimulating, and challenging. And, for the most part, I loved it. Like most of my coworkers, it was hard for me to disconnect. I felt compelled to check my phone, my Teams messages, my Outlook, etc. when I was spending time at home with my wife or kids. Being needed, being the go-to person, working on something important and exciting is difficult to pull yourself away from. But therein lies the cost: I was not spending enough time with my family, or sleeping, or living healthily.

The Monday after my last day, my mind went haywire. It was like something had unlocked in my brain and a dozen suppressed ideas exploded into the forefront of my thoughts. Businesses, inventions, websites, apps, trips, etc. It became very clear very quickly that having zero time and an overactive mind had led to a lot of pent-up creativity. To be clear, half of the ideas are duds, but creative duds nonetheless :D

Anyway, one of the ideas was to take my passion for personality types, tests, real-life people, fictional people, etc. and share it with the world. So here we are.

I do not know what is to come of this website/blog, or if I really care at the moment. This is an outlet for me. Currently there is no purpose other than to have fun. Because if there is one thing that is fun, it is categorizing movie and book characters based on crust personality theories based solely off my thoughts.
