The fastest way to ignite the spark within others is to ignite the spark within yourself. People won’t listen to your words, they’ll watch what you do. Become the living embodiment of the values you wish to spread in the world. One example: If you want people to be kind, don’t tell them. Just be a kind person. All change first begins with the daily actions you take in your life.

Incorporate some sort of movement every hour in your day, even if it’s small. Movement is medicine.

I want you to think of one habit you currently do in your life that you want to curb completely deep down. Identify it clearly. Write it down. Think of what you want to replace it with. Write it down. Catch yourself in your day when the habit you currently do pops up. With ease, replace it to the new thing. Get at least 1% better each day. Check your progress in 40 days.

Choose to not complain about anything out loud and instead channel everything you feel into your health, purpose, and relationships.

No flower blossoms all year so if you’re having a difficult season in your life, be easy on yourself. Keep doing your best & trust that everything is happening at the right speed for you to make progress.

The @Bitcoin Jungle is one of the most special places in the world I’ve ever been to. From being a poker pro living in California feeling stuck in a mental prison lacking true purpose and real community, but always having a passion for bitcoin and knew there was something more meaningful in the world out there somewhere, coming here for the first time three years ago changed my life forever. Now three years later, my life is much different than spending time in a casino everyday, and I’m so excited to offer my first group retreat in January 2027. I’m going to pour everything I have into this week being an incredible experience for everyone who comes. The intention is for you to connect deeper to community, nature, health, and purpose. We will also experience bitcoin in person here at the local markets and have discussions around nostr & freedom tech. Walk away feeling completely rejuvenated, restored, with new friends, and ready to make 2027 your best year yet. If you want to be apart of this experience, check out the website and book a call with me to apply. Spots are very limited. Pura Vida. junglealchemyretreats.com

I have a challenge for you: Stop complaining & stop gossiping. Don’t let anything negative come out of your mouth regarding anything external. See what happens.

It’s pretty wild that I’m sitting here in Costa Rica looking at an iguana while typing this message and people in at least 5 continents around the world will read this. And it’s impossible for the message to be taken down. Sometimes it’s nice to zoom out and marvel at the amazing technological advancements we’ve made as a species. Pura Vida.

One of the biggest realizations in my life is nothing outside of you can bring you peace & lasting joy. It literally has to come from within yourself. If you seek external things like trophies, money, or romantic relationships to bring you joy, you are placing an impossible demand on them that will never satisfy you. Choose relationships & activities from a place of already being joyous in your life, not for you to all of the sudden become joyous because of it.

Start everyday in self-care mode. Some ideas: movement outside, morning surf, intentional & slow breaths, gratitude for 5-10 things in your life, journaling for 20 minutes, walking for 30 minutes. Anything that helps you connect to yourself & the day ahead. It’s from this centered place that we can create epic stuff in this world that are aligned with our goals and our purpose.

The people in your life affect your energy more than you think. Pay close attention to who drains you and who leaves you feeling revitalized.

I’m definitely a beach guy at my heart, but just spent 12 days in the mountains and it’s such a peaceful change of pace. Feeling nourished, grounded, and connected to my daily practices of yoga & meditation. Excited to incorporate more trips when it feels right.

I’ve found a lot of benefit from putting my phone away when eating and even if I’m hungry, doing my best to take intentional, slow bites expressing gratitude for all that had to take place for the food to be right there. So just a reminder to slow down, be thankful, and head back into your day after you eat with more intention and care.

The right person leaves you feeling seen, respected, and at ease, not confused or belittled. Anything less is misalignment.

Exploring new waterfalls are always a treat.

Alignment is a big theme for me recently. Do you feel aligned in your purpose, environment, community, and integrity in the way you show up for others? If not, take some time to reflect and journal about any misalignments that may be going on in your life. Alignment begins the moment you stop ignoring what you know is true.

I’m looking into doing a 10-day silent Vipassana retreat in California this July. No technology. No talking. Just 10 days observing the mind. It’s one of the most powerful and safest ways I’ve heard of to reset, gain clarity, and see yourself honestly. If anyone feels called to join, send me a private message. Cheers.

The most important relationship you’ll have is the one with yourself. Nurture it with everything you have. Speak to yourself with care and respect. Know that if you do your best, that’s enough.

Went to a couple men’s circles this weekend was and was epic to see the guys embrace their warrior side, emotional side, and playful side. I really feel a big part of what’s missing in today’s world is people having a safe space to really let go and be themselves. To ultimately feel a sense of belonging with people who they really resonate with. Community was missing for most of my life and now I’m realizing the power of it when it’s aligned. I’m working on bringing people together in a powerful way to create real, positive change. Don’t be afraid to go to an extra event per week in your local town or internationally. The upside is massive.

Teaching yoga is so fun. I build my classes around helping people cultivate more peace, more mental clarity, and more gratitude for life.
