Welcome! I am the founder of Kate Capital, LLC and Still Press. Kate Capital is an investment manager and Still Press is a media company. For many years, I was a strategist and investor for the largest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Associates. On this website you can find the latest about my books, essays, and podcast. I’ve published two books, my third comes out later this year, hundreds of essays, and dozens of interviews. Past podcast guests include CEOs, sitting members of Congress, artists, and athletes. I believe that while the world is complex, it can be understood, and both my investing and writing operate around that belief. More about me in the “about” tab.

Books

Raising a Thief and The Uncomfortable Truth About Money are both non-fiction. The first is about being a parent the second is about money. Master, Minion is a thriller about financial war. The Amazon reviews show readers really like these books!

Essays

I write essays about how I am investing with, for subscribers, a full view into my decisions. Most of these are on my Substack. Some are in other publications, like The Wall Street Journal. Sign up and get the essay delivered direct to your inbox.

Podcast

I ask guests about their background, work and the biggest lessons they have learned from being alive. The answers are astonishingly varied. Guests include former FBI Director Jim Comey, Ray Dalio and Congressman Jim Himes.

Sunday Coffee Thoughts

September 29, 2024

I shared some reflections last week and they seemed to resonate, so here are some more. As a species we crave coherence; life gives us contradiction and flux. A practice, a discipline (there are many) help us navigate; the more messy the challenge the more helpful the practice. Habit can shift into rigidity, which impairs […]
