Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how not being an executor caused my first business to fail. “I’ll Do It Later” Almost Ruined My Life In 2017, I launched my first side project with friends. It was a diversity-focused magazine called SHADES—my attempt to showcase my diverse friend group and the beauty of diversity. This was the same year as the Charlottesville Rally (Boo). So proud of how far I've come :D But within a year, it flopped. My friends dropped the project. And honestly? I...

Hey Reader, Today I want to talk about how to ensure you don’t waste your weeks. The College Wake-Up Call Sophomore year, I tried to fix my grades by doing nothing but studying. No social life. No workouts. Just books and stress. Result? I received 3 Cs. Lol, maybe I should have been a Jewish History major I had never received a C in high school. My strategy was not working. I wondered if I was becoming dumb. Turns out, if you give yourself all day to do something, you’ll take all day to not...

Hey Reader, Today, I’m sharing how ADHD meds changed my life. I went from detention every week to straight As as a chemical engineer on scholarship at USC. Now, I'm a $10k/mo founder. Unfortunately, I eventually became dependent on ADHD meds, causing me to fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car. The sign took off my mirror and door handle. This scared the shit out of me! ADHD meds are a powerful tool, but they are like training wheels. They started my journey, but later held me back from...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to book consistent calls and hit $10k/mo. When I launched my business, I struggled to make money. I didn’t know how to find leads. So, I posted content.

How can I iterate on my product if I don’t have users? Even worse, I almost ran out of money multiple times. Posting content is a...

When I had bad habits, I was constantly putting out fires that I created for myself. It felt like the world was stacked against me, but I was actually doing the...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to gain control of your emotions. As ADHDers, we feel a rollercoaster of emotions, typically deriving from childhood traumas. As Dr.Hallowell and Dr.Ratey state in Driven to Distraction, Their [ADHDers] moods can be quite unstable, going from high to low in the bat of an eye for no apparent reason. In my 20s, my emotions were unstable. For example, from 2018 - 2020, I ruined all my birthdays. Was I drinking? Of course! I already have a big mouth,...
