I’m Mario, a lifelong learner who knows bold ideas earn their keep only when they pass real-world tests and get shared.

Mindbazaar is my one-person ideas lab and weekly newsletter. I distill any source worth your time, —books, podcasts, research— into bite-sized prompts. Each edition helps curious people turn friction into fuel by translating insight into action.

Why it exists:

• Noise ≠ knowledge – endless content distracts more than it educates.

• Movement ≠ Action – ideas earn value only when they change what we do next.

• Friction reveals focus – obstacles point to what deserves our energy.

Who it’s for

Anyone curious who wants to:

• Turn setbacks into stepping-stones.

• Discover high-signal resources without wading through clutter.

• Equip themselves with adaptable frameworks, tools and mental models for clearer thinking and better decisions.
