Hello Reader,

Welcome to Wisepreneurs Weekly—soon to be Wisepreneurs Fortnightly.

From now on, you’ll receive these insights every two weeks to give you more breathing space, and more time to act on what matters.

Episode 88 with Tomáš Baránek drops Friday, May 23

Tomáš, a Czech publisher and “life hacker,” returns after Episode 41 with a compelling take on networked cognition—the power of thinking together to spark innovation and build thriving ventures.

Why tune in?

At 53, Tomáš leads a dynamic publishing house in Brno, curating just 12–20 meaningful books a year that move ideas and minds—including Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari and The Wager by David Grann. His team collaborates globally with historians, authors, and translators to amplify impact. He’s also studying AI, navigating the “black box” of machine learning to stay sharp and thoughtful.

Networked Cognition: Think Together, Create More

This episode explores how collaboration, technology, and shared insights can lighten the cognitive load, support smarter decisions, and fuel purpose-driven work. The future belongs to the connected.

And in speaking with Tomáš, I found myself gaining fresh clarity on my own work too.

How Tomáš Lives the Wisepreneurs Framework

• Networked Entrepreneurship: His business thrives on strategic partnerships.
• Relational Branding: His content builds trust as a knowledge curator.
• AI-Augmented Work: He uses AI for coding, not writing—always with a critical eye.
• Cognitive Vitality: Studying at 53, using Roam (for note taking), wide reading and staying curious.
• Resilient Transitions: He embodies Charles Handy’s second curve—pivoting with purpose.
