When Julius Caesar set out to conquer Gaul, he didn’t rely on raw force or divine luck. He relied on systems. Strategy. Discipline. And an unshakable understanding of how empires are actually built — and lost.

In this first installment of Letters from Gaul, I explore five timeless laws Caesar deployed in the field — and how they map directly to investing, operations, and capital stewardship in today’s world.

We talk:

• Why Caesar always built the fort first — and why most investors don’t
• How local terrain always beats central planning
• Why logistics, not genius, win wars (and deals)
• How to stretch your time horizon without losing conviction
• And why the edge of empire is always more fragile than it looks

This episode isn’t about history for history’s sake.

It’s about mastering the timeless mechanics of risk, power, and execution — the kind that don’t change, even 2,000 years later.
