What is Bread Crumbs?

Well, bread crumbs (plural) are delicious crumbled bread of various dryness, sometimes with seasonings added, used for breading or crumbing foods. Bread Crumbs (singular) is a monthly newsletter that synthesizes lessons from the GOATs of finance, philosophy, and spirituality into simple, bite-sized morsels for everyday folks.

Read by 450+ ambitious students, teachers, engineers, hackers, consultants, financiers, marketers, lawyers, and civil servants from around the country, it casts light on these 3 important (and sometimes esoteric) topics in an easy-to-read, irreverent style.

Who Writes Bread Crumbs?

Bread Crumbs is written by me, Paul Clancy. I’m a reformed banker who’s on a search for ancient wisdom. This newsletter will serve as my diary for the journey.

I became interested in philosophy and spirituality after recovering from a grueling, year-long bender working 100-hour weeks in investment banking. I was convinced money was the key to happiness. Shocker. It wasn’t.

While I remain uncertain about the existence of a universal solution to happiness, I invite you to join me as we explore this possibility together.

Why Should I Subscribe?

Finance, philosophy, and spirituality are some of the oldest human institutions. Sadly, academics and elitists have tried to make these fields untouchable to the general public. That’s a shame. Bread Crumbs is here to change that.

Learning about these fields makes you more knowledgeable, interesting, and wise. If that doesn’t sound like a good proposition to you, you’re a fool.
