About

Welcome to my Substack! My name is Samuel, and I've been navigating the ever-evolving world of digital publishing since 2012. Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of sharing stories, insights, and knowledge with readers around the globe. I have amassed over 100 million page views on my blog using a genre of reporting called “curatorial journalism” to discuss the latest news, information, and topics of concern.

My journey has been fueled by a passion for detailing complex issues of the day, a commitment to quality content, and an unwavering curiosity about our world. My work aims to provide thought-provoking perspectives and valuable information that resonate with a diverse audience.

On this platform, I will continue to explore the topics that matter most to me—and hopefully to you, too. Whether you're here for insightful articles, deep dives into complex subjects, or a fresh take on the world, I’m excited to have you along.

Thank you for joining me in this new chapter. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect.
