This page is where Arman’s writing and recorded conversations live.
They exist for one reason: to explain how he thinks about performance, longevity, and decision-making under pressure, and to make those ideas clear enough to be used.
The goal isn’t motivation or inspiration. It’s understanding. Some of what’s here takes the form of written essays. Some takes the form of conversations through the podcast.
They serve different purposes. Writing allows for precision. Conversation allows for nuance.
The subjects vary, but the focus stays consistent: how performance is sustained over time, where people quietly undermine their own durability, and why many common approaches look effective in the short term but fail under real responsibility.
This material isn’t meant to be rushed. It’s meant to be read, revisited, and used selectively. Not every idea here will matter to every person, and that’s exactly how it should be.
Writing
The writing published here is long-form and deliberate. These pieces are used to explain ideas clearly without simplifying them for speed, popularity, or easy consumption.
They’re written for people who want to think more carefully about how they operate, not for those looking for shortcuts.
Articles appear below in chronological order. They’re left to stand on their own, without summaries telling the reader what they’re supposed to think or take away.
Conversations
The podcast lives here as well. The episodes are instructional conversations, not interviews and not performances.
Topics are explored in real time and allowed to stay complex where complexity is warranted. The goal isn’t to deliver neat conclusions, but to show how ideas are examined, tested, and refined.
Episodes are published when there’s something worth explaining, not to meet a schedule. They appear alongside the written work.
How to Use This Material
This material is meant to be applied, not followed. Some ideas will be immediately useful. Others may not matter for years. That’s normal.
Nothing here replaces direct engagement, and nothing here is required reading.
This is simply a way to understand how Arman thinks about performance and decision-making, and to use what’s relevant in your own context.
