Burnout is not real. What is real is you lack passion in what you are doing. If you were doing the things you were meant to be doing there would never be any sort of “burnout” in your life. If you were gaining energy from the activities, because you felt as if you were making a massive difference in the lives of...
If you live to ~80 years old (about the average in the modernised world): You’ll have 29,166 days… 700,000 hours… 42,000,000 minutes. What are you doing with each and ever single one of those minutes? Each minute on the clock ticking down is a beautiful little microcosm of a life. Each and every one is a gift, a...
For the first 30 minutes of your day, everyday, I implore you to attempt the following: No screens whatsoever Get water in with salts Get a sweat on I love Sun salutations as my opening exercise, opening up my hips and lower back, I highly recommend them as an addition to any First 30 routine. Meditate while you are...
With various new social media channels coming online where you can waste more of your ever-shortening life, let me recommend a way that you can break free from the strangle hold that these apps are designed to have on you: Set a timer for 90 minutes. Get to work. Do not touch your phone (unless you are TRULY working...
As a professional vagabond - I travel tremendously light. Last year, we spent nearly a month between Europe and Toronto for a friend’s wedding. Both Rebecca and I each took a single carry on and a backpack for the whole trip where we included a suit, 3 pairs of shoes each, dresses, and enough clothes to get us by...
The only piece of advice I would give someone who is not where they want to be in life would be: Create more What do I mean by this? Simple. Most of us consume more than we create. In the game of plus/minus, most of humanity is in the minus category. We watch what others are doing, thinking “why isn’t that me?” -...
You are only ever going to have the current moment to change your life and ways. There is no opportunity outside of the here and now to do so. When you look at your life, it is simply a culmination of the choices up until this moment that you have made. All other measurements are time frames that do not make sense...
I have been going down the vaporwave/synthwave rabbit hole and found that it truly is the pinnacle of focusing music. A little vaporwave to begin Some more futuristic dystopian music Some InitialD to round us out Where would I be without this music that makes me type so much faster, and drive so much better?...
Here’s a million dollar tip to those that would offer their products or services to me (or anyone) via cold outreach. Show me what you can do. I cannot count how many times I have had someone reach out and tell me about their service, about how great they could build my website (clearly not seeing that the site in...
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Airman’s Odyssey Much of my life has been greatly improved as of late through the utilization of Occam’s Razor on my entire existence. I have paired down what I own to only the...
Perhaps the greatest change in my life came from when I simply asked myself “am I creating, or am I consuming?” Once I began asking this question, I started to observe my activities from a 5,000 foot view. This automatically led to making better decisions for my day to day operations (and that is all that we really...
My ’tech hot take’ was featured in an MKBHD video this week, to the tune of 2.3 million views at the point of writing this post. Although he didn’t talk about my tweet - it was featured in the beginning as a ’worst take’. However, with the magic of the internet, I get to respond to a take that was never discussed....
