Helping you master the best of what other people have already figured out.

Quick links: Newsletter | Podcast | Learning Community | Book

Hi,

I’m Shane Parrish.

While I have a deep dislike of bios, it’s only fair that you know something about me. I spent ██ years working for a three-letter intelligence agency, starting as a ██████ and ending in charge of ████████████████. During my career, I was promoted ██ times, worked as ██████████████████ to the Deputy Minister, ██████████████████, and ██████████████████. Unfortunately, I can’t talk about anything interesting without going to jail.

If you’d like more insight into my background and FS, read the New York Times profile.

You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram.

Nothing happens in isolation; let me introduce you to our small team.

Vicky Cosenzo

Vicky is the Director of Operations at FS. She is the lead for team support and the podcast; she runs our sponsorship and advertising efforts and leads all HR planning and hiring. In addition, Vicky helps hundreds of people every month who email us with questions and comments, and she makes sure we meet our deadlines and commitments.

Dalton Mabery

Dalton is our digital creator and designer and is responsible for all of FS’s amazing videos, including video essays created from original FS content and the videos and animations that make our courses engaging. He also manages The Knowledge Project YouTube channel and develops the rest of our YouTube content.

Deborah McGee

Deb is the Learning Experience lead at FS. She works with our team & community to develop thoughtful, engaging, and impactful courses for individuals and companies. She is committed to creating rewarding learning experiences from Farnam Street’s timeless content. She infuses continuous improvement and double loop learning techniques into experiences that move learners from theory to practice, building capability to master the best of what other people have figured out.
