Hi all, I started this project 2 years ago called Wise Charlie (www.wisecharlie.com) which focuses on mental models and critical thinking.

I now have 100+ customers and a few hundred newsletter subscribers. It’s been rewarding so far and have improved my own thinking.

Happy to answer any questions.
