Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how limiting beliefs will stop you from reaching your potential. The Belief That Almost Robbed Me In high school, I wrestled. I was handing out Ls in my first match A central part of wrestling is “shooting.” That’s when you attack your opponent's legs like this But in 3rd grade? I sucked at it.

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how my competitiveness turned me into a hater instead of a winner. The Day I Realized I was a Hater, Not a Friend My freshman year of college, I got my first B in a math—and spiraled. School was my thing, and I was struggling. Before summer, my best friend and I checked our grades. He not only outperformed me, but he crushed it. Instead of saying "Congrats", I was stunned and frustrated. I wondered, "How was he doing so much better than me?" He was...

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!

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. I had 3 - 4 viral Reddit posts that generated a few $100/mth subscriptions, but it was inconsistent. It left me wondering How will I make any money? Does my idea suck? 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...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how bad habits will steal all your time. This is an updated version of a post I made on Reddit! Bad habits are like slow leaks in a tire. You won’t see the damage right away. But they'll slow you down and leave you stranded. You can fill your tire with air, but it will eventually deflate again. 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...
