If you care what she thinks about you, you already lost. Know who you are at your core and feel that self-confidence deep inside you. Only then will you be a man worthy of her love & devotion. This process cannot be faked as a woman’s intuition is incredibly strong.

You may have been setback a step or two, but your comeback will be so much greater. Believe in yourself. You got this.

Fake friends get threatened or jealous by your success. Real friends want you to succeed and thrive.

I genuinely believe the best investment you can make is in your self improvement journey as a human. The right coach, teacher, or guide is worth every sat and then some.

Closing your eyes and taking 3 slow and deep breaths when you’re feeling stressed always does the trick. At least 6 seconds on the exhales.

New cities are cool for me for around 72 hours then I start to wonder why I am not in a remote jungle beach town. Anyone else feel this way?

Real love is: • Honest even when it's hard • Willing to work through disconnection • Brave enough to reveal its flaws • Humble enough to own its impact Anything less is the ego getting in the way.

Have you ever stopped to think why you do what you do? If not, it’s really important to have the “why” figured out and down solid on a piece of paper. Go deep with it. Even ask yourself why to the answer you wrote. Write down your answer again & repeat this 3 more times. It’s an amazing practice because when you ever feel unmotivated or undisciplined, you can always go back to this piece of paper and remember why you do what you do. From there, you should have an easier time to keep going and keep building your dream.

In a world where it’s easy to put on a mask and be fake, I suggest to be as real as possible whenever you can. We’re all looking for real people and real connections at the end of the day, so just be yourself. Be relentless in being real & you’ll find that people who see you and care will magnetize to you. Much love all.

This song makes me happier & more joyous.

If anyone has done you dirty, you should be thanking them. Thank them for revealing to you who they really are. Thank them for showing you what’s not important to them. Thank them for now no longer having to waste any more energy on them. Send them healing energy and wish them the best, but do so from a distance. They’ve given you a gift of clarity. Use it.

Remember that the practice of comparing yourself to other people is the fastest way to make yourself miserable. You are enough as you are right now. Stay connected to your purpose and keep going. Build the castle one brick at a time.

A few days ago I played my first live poker tournament in ~2 years. Poker is a game where I previously gave 6.5 years of my life — attempting to master & improve at every aspect of the game: mathematical, psychological, and emotional. My career ended with a realization that my job was slowly killing me, both physically and mentally. I found the lifestyle to be very draining as it often required late nights, long hours of sitting and staring expressionless, and I noticed my emotions slowly becoming numb over time. I found being around gamblers all day to be unhealthy for my soul. Losing is a big part of the job which isn’t fun, but you get used to it, and eventually, I found winning to be miserable, as winning requires someone else to lose, which is at best a net-neutral energy exchange. I realized humanity isn’t becoming a better place as a whole by this type of work. Exactly two years ago today, I went to my first international retreat simply looking for rejuvenation as I was feeling depleted, but I came out of the experience realizing all of the things I’ve described above. It was a powerful experience for me and I continued to discover my true self over the next couple years through travel and meeting new people in different industries. It’s been a fun journey with many ups and downs, but I’m so happy I took the leap of faith and trusted my intuition. Now that I’ve competed in a live poker tournament again, I was able to reenter the casino with new eyes. Even though I haven’t done any work on my game, I felt very sharp making decisions. I was able to advance to the final day of the tournament, which is tomorrow, qualifying in the top 9 out of 73 players in my flight. I’m a highly competitive guy so I did enjoy competing, especially when I lost a hand, and got to analyze and pinpoint exactly why I lost and how I can adjust for the next hand. It was enjoyable to put together a strategic game plan for each new level as the blinds increased as we were now forced to put in a higher percentage of our stack each hand. But the reality is that all of my realizations still hold. I could feel my emotions getting zapped slowly but surely once again. I could feel the emptiness within me as I managed to knock out players of lesser skill. Luckily, I’ve been loving the depth of one-on-one mindset coaching and can’t wait to bring that energy into in-person retreats, centered around nourishment, rejuvenation, movement, nature, and the kind of real, in-person connection we’re all craving more of. Poker will always hold a special place in my heart — I gave a lot to it, and it’s a beautiful game that brings people together from all walks of life. But I don’t plan to return to it consistently. I may play the occasional tournament as a lesser hobby, but I feel so much healthier — mentally, emotionally, and physically by stepping away from that world. So the lesson I want to leave you all is this: If you’re feeling drained by something you once loved, you’re not broken — you’re evolving. Trust that feeling. It might just be your soul calling you into something greater.

Men who numb & suppress their pain stay stuck. Pain is the portal, not the enemy. You want to grow? Feel it, face it, and move through it. That’s the only way to level up.

What's truly risky: • Staying in the job you hate for 40 years • Remaining in relationships that diminish you • Suppressing your authentic self to please others • Postponing your dreams until "someday" Security is often the riskiest choice of all.

You can’t do everything you want, but you can definitely do anything you want. Decide, create the plan, then build. Let’s go.

If a woman asks you to make a decision on something, please don’t say “I don’t care, can you choose?” Take a deep breath, make a decision that feels right to you at your core, and proceed to have a good time.

Write down goals so big that even you scratch your head when you read it back. If they don’t make you a little nervous, they’re not big enough. Trust yourself. You wouldn’t have the vision if it wasn’t possible to make it real.
