Sometimes, […]

2020 is the year of owning your ambition. Stop trying to collect modesty points. “I’m content.” Shut your non-content ass up. Stop lying to yourself, please. Not for me, but for your own good. We all pretend to want things we don’t want. And we do this for a few reasons: We don’t think we […]

You’re weird. I am, too. We all are. We all, to some degree, do something that’s very strange. On the one hand, we’re totally preoccupied with ourselves. On the other hand, we don’t do everything possible to help ourselves live better lives. From a logical perspective, this makes no sense. But one of the biggest […]

Let’s take a look at my life just a few short years ago. I had a 0.00 GPA the first semester of my senior year in college. You read that right, I got F’s in every single one of my classes. I didn’t bother going to class at all. Oh, did I mention I dropped […]

Instead, if you lightly hit the break and slightly turn the wheel, you’ll often gradually drift into safe territory. Another morbid driving fact […]

Imagine this. You’re fresh out of high school. You haven’t even got to experience some of the momentous times in your life — your first serious love, your first real job in your career, your first home. And you may never get to experience them. See, right now, you’re on a boat approaching the shores […]

Do you know how to think? How often do you spend time actually thinking? Do you spend time analyzing not only your thoughts but the way you process them? Most people spend the vast majority of their time doing absolutely no thinking at all. You think you think a lot, but really, your mind is […]

I care about you more than almost anyone in the world outside of my family and friends. Well, maybe not you specifically, but the entity you represent. The creator, the dreamer, the aspiring hustler. You have a blog, a podcast, a Youtube Channel, an e-commerce store, an Etsy shop, a Patreon. You want to sing, […]
