Welcome to Four Sides
My name is James McCullough – an entrepreneur, a writer, a father, a paleo-eating polymath.
Four Sides is my home for Framing Our Experiences and helping us understand what is happening around us. I aim to bring the big ideas, the trends, that are fashionable or obscure and share them with you here.
The style here may be different than what you are accustomed to, but I have never been one to fit in with the majority.
I am an outlier.
I view things from the outside before fully engaging with the object.
I will cover many topics here – niches are passe, a dangerous trend that does not help us in the long term. I am here to help you grow without being a preacher.
I am a host, not a guru. I welcome feedback and good conversation. I want to build a community more than a level of readership.
I am also hosting a newsletter to be published monthly, Ground Works. It will feature the people and organizations that are leaving a legacy and aim to help us all grow. Sign up at the bottom.
