About
Hi there—I'm Alex Hughes. I'm a writer and product leader based out of Nashville, TN. I’ve spent the past 12+ years building and scaling products in a range of environments, from enterprises to growth-stage startups.
I’ve been writing articles about authenticity, strategy, and personal growth since 2014. My work has been featured in publications like Daily Stoic, Mind the Product, Built In, Thrive Global, and The Mission, among others. In 2019, I wrote 7 Strategies to Navigate the Noise an ebook and guide to sharpening your strategic mind, taking thoughtful action, and living on your own terms.
Around here, you won’t get bombarded with daily motivational emails or traditional self-help crap. Instead, you’ll get thoughtful essays and book recommendations based on my research into successful artists, entrepreneurs, leaders, philosophers, and scientists throughout history.
What’s in it for you?
We all reach moments in life where we feel like fragments of ourselves. And when we lose the connection to ourselves, our work, careers, and lives grow stagnant. We can’t create anything meaningful if we’re absently going through the motions. Instead, we must turn back to what we find meaning in and what brings us to life.
The content on this site is crafted to help you bring yourself back into focus and create your best work.
