Read excerpt
“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.”There’s a cheat code in life: find someone who resembles you, your personality + your goals, and absorb everything they’ve ever put out into the world as fast as possible.This will rarely happen.

Don't Become the 30 year old With No Character (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in May I got on a call with a long time subscriber.He’s running a business, was living in Bali at the time, and he wanted to talk about why things were stuck.The business has a lot of moving parts. He wants to grow, he wants to push harder, he knows he has to do more. He spends hours sitting at his desk stressing about it. But when he’s honest about it, his actual deep work output is minimal, and he hates himself for it.Meanwhile he’s in Bali and he’s not even enjoying it. He hadn’t gone ou
