Hi, I’m Tom White and I tell stories

Thoughts to Sounds.

Sounds to Letters.

Letters to Words.

Words to Sentences.

Sentences to Paragraphs.

Paragraphs to Hopeful Cogency.

Write, Rinse, Repeat.


Who?

👋 Hey there!

My name is Tom.

During my days, I write, consult, pray, and think rigorously about my Telos.

I also pursue my passion for learning, understanding, and behavioral psychology as a (ghost)writer, advisor, editor, and investor.

After stints at Stonks, On Deck, Google, and Notre Dame, I now have a "portfolio career" writing professionally for a number of startup/F500 executives, VCs, and fund managers.

I write a weekly email where I share the best of my creations, reflections, and pensées. Some of my most popular musings are below:

If you like what you see and see what you like, sign up below!


What/Why?

White Noise will contain an amalgam of fictional prose and useful, nonfictional insight derived from my indiscriminate reading, listening, conversing, thinking, and real-life experiencing. 

These writings represent my attempt to make sense of the content I consume and thoughts that give me pause in today’s information deluge. The act of putting pen to paper helps elucidate the what, the why, and the how of things.

I don’t kid myself thinking that any great human truth will emerge from my writings. That said, if I help another unearth some unrecognized connection, simplicity, or realization, I will consider it a small victory. 

Hmms and ahhhs are good.


When?

I will write as often as I feel I have something worthwhile to share. I hope to post on a weekly cadence, however, as a devotee of Inbox Zero, I understand the value of your time and your email real estate. I will not waste either.


How?

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”

—Ernest Hemingway (supposedly)
