My setup

4K webcam with gimbal and tracking. It follows me when I stand up and the framing never breaks.

Dynamic podcast microphone. Picks up the voice and ignores the rest of the room, no acoustic treatment.

Holds the Shure at mouth height and swings out of the camera frame when I am not recording.

Coin-sized wireless lavalier. For recording away from the desk, standing up or on the phone.

Audio interface that connects the MV7 over XLR.

Diffused LED light clipped to the monitor. Removes the shadow from the face and turns on with one tap.

One button per action: record, mute, switch scene, open the app. No hunting for shortcuts mid-recording.

Silent desktop that runs local AI models without heating up.

One monitor instead of two. Code on one side, video or chat on the other, no bezel in the middle.

Low, quiet keyboard. Switches between the Mac and another device with one button.

Free-spinning scroll wheel and thumb button. After it, a regular mouse feels broken.

Wi-Fi across the whole house, no dead spots. I use the Deco 6E; the link is the current model of the line on Amazon.

My everyday voice-to-text. I speak, it types into any app, and the text comes out clean.

Multi-currency account I use between Brazil and Ireland. With the link: free card or a transfer of up to 500 EUR with no fee.

Screenless band. Tracks sleep and heart rate without pulling me to the phone at every notification.

Alex Hormozi. How to get strangers to want to buy. The base of what I do on LinkedIn and YouTube.

Alex Hormozi. How to structure offer and price so one customer pays for acquiring the next.

Alex Hormozi. Offers so good people feel stupid saying no. Read it before building LinkedIn Boost.

Sun Tzu, complete edition. Strategy in short sentences. I reread a chapter when I need to decide without rushing.

Morgan Housel. Money is behavior, not spreadsheets. The best finance book I have read.

Carlo Rovelli. Quantum physics and gravity explained by a researcher, no equations. Changes the scale of what counts as a problem.

Gary Keller. One question: what is the one thing that makes everything else easier or unnecessary? I use it weekly.

Forsgren, Humble and Kim. The four software delivery metrics, backed by data, not opinion.

Tiago Forte. A method to store and find what you read and think. My note system comes from here.

Tom Kyte. The book that taught me how the database works inside. Worth it even outside Oracle.

Oak Table. Database administration by people who run production, no classroom theory.

Ali Abdaal. Productivity that starts with energy and enjoyment, not discipline. Works better than grind.

Angela Duckworth. Consistency beats talent. Good thesis; the book could be half the length.

Carmine Gallo. Seven principles of how Jobs thought about product and presentation.

Marcus Aurelius. An emperor's diary to himself. One page a day does more than most productivity books.

Brendon Burchard. How to turn what you know into a teaching business. The push behind Tech Hub.

Barnett Helzberg Jr. How a jewelry store owner sold the company to Buffett. Short and direct.

T. Harv Eker. How you think about money defines how much you keep. Simple and uncomfortable.

Flávio Augusto. The decision that changes the trajectory, told by the founder of Wise Up.

Napoleon Hill, 1937 edition. The original behind almost every mindset book that came after.

Caio Carneiro. Sales and attitude, unfiltered. An afternoon read that sticks.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. Seven rules from someone who built three careers from scratch. No fluff.

Robert Greene. How power works in relationships, like it or not. Read to understand, not to apply everything.

Martin Ford. Written in 2015 on automation and jobs. It aged too well.

Mark Manson. Choosing what to care about. Direct, funny, and more serious than the title.

Daniel Kahneman. The two systems of thinking and the biases nobody escapes. Changed how I decide.

Christian Antognini. A method to find the real bottleneck instead of guessing. My DBA manual for years.

Steven Johnson. Where good ideas come from: networks and time, not lone genius. On my reading list.
