Making Progress & why "competition" doesn't exist.
A major modern struggle is feeling a gap; between where we are and where we want to go. This gap is often unconscious, and primed from our constant exposure to the lives of others: * With such easy access to see exactly what other people have, and what we don't. * With
The 4x4 Founder Development Framework
You don't have to be happy to be successful. In fact, you can be downright depressed and successful. Lots of celebrities are (at least intermittently). Or you can be mean and be successful (hello politicians). Or just not really a good person (hello all people doing bad while in positions
Trading Uncertainty for Desire

Just Follow Life’s Rhythm
Inhale... Enjoy this moment. Somewhere something you're doing is going well. The bed you lay in is warm and comfy. Your tea is perfect. You step outside and feel the sun. At this moment things are good. Exhale... A problem or obstacle is coming. Of this, I'm sure. We can
Your Creativity Fire
In our time together, I haven't once given you a tip about a morning routine. Or a step by step program for social media. Or how you might become an influencer of some kind. I don't think this is what any of you want. And if this does happen, it
