Phase Zero – Conception
What started as an idea spiraled into life once it was named (Hemabid Research). I wanted a name that was original and in line with my vision. It starts with hema, a root often associated with blood and used in ancient Greece, where it was tied to the idea of life. Bid in financial markets is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for an asset. Research is an intentional search for information. In sum, Hemabid Research is the highest price (where the currency is life, blood, and sweat) I am willing to pay searching for information.
The project that can now be seen on HemabidResearch.org until 2028-11-02. This will show nothing without web hosting, which I also paid for until 2030-02-27. The second date being the most important since I will then evaluate the project. The question being: Is this valued or valuable enough to outweigh the burden of the endeavor?
Phase One – Foundation
- Genesis – This is a metaphor laced, big picture piece about how markets shape every person’s life and ignoring it is not an option. Introducing a philosophy that emphasizes an ongoing intentional relationship with both the global and the personal economy.
- The Hemabid Research Content Map – This is the very piece you are experiencing now. It’s a more grounded update on the project written to set expectations, document, and is a plan for me to reference as I execute.
- Working title: Coloring inside the lines – The next piece will document the currently very empty website. I will explain the site’s architecture, my intent with each page, and what I ultimately populate the pages with. Finally, I will update the website and document the final product.
Phase Two – Practice and Consistency
- Soft Publishing: These are standalone one-shot pieces that are rich but completely self-contained. These will rhythmically populate the website in a low pressure creatively open way.
- First content spine/click-hole (A piece about a larger topic that clicks into more in-depth sub-pieces.) Working title: “my 2026 index beating investment thesis”. The main piece is my new year investing thesis and a brief description of the dozen or so investments I’ll be making. For those interested in an investment they’ll be able to click into a sub-piece with more details.
Phase Three – Deeper and Wider
- Systematic spine/click-hole expansion: These are farther out, but the main idea is to cover the acquisition of the Servsafe certifications (Food Handlers, Allergen, Alcohol, and Manager), CompTIA certifications (Tech+, A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+), relating to landscaping (gardening, plants, ect), and lastly the gig economy.
Conclusion
This first era is interesting because (long term) I am looking to skew towards finance, general economics, and business but these are areas I have previous experience or am interested in learning right now. This work is useful for me to learn or review, and it’s also useful for others learning what I’ve covered. This makes it the easiest place to start and presents a range of audience entry points. When I succeed at something, share a guide for others to replicate; when they succeed, my relationship with them (as they rise) becomes rich in my favor.
Economics and personal finance aren’t very useful without certain prerequisite skills, so this era is part of that on-ramp. The person who wants to save money by eating at home must know how to safely handle and prepare food. A technologically literate person understands how modern systems underpin our day-to-day life and doesn’t overpay for tech or a related service because of a hype cycle or sales pitch. A gardener who meets a plants needs while patiently awaiting results is flexing the same behavioral muscle that attracts wealth. This also works as my own on-ramp to hone my communicative skills through this era. The scenic route gives me the time to prepare before handling more dense and difficult topics.
