If you want to encounter new ideas every day that (I hope) will make your life and work better, I'm doing a daily podcast just for you.

I'm writing a book in 2020, and giving myself the first 90 days in Q1 to do it. In this episode I outline my initial ideas for the book, and my entire approach to writing it.
On social media most of us write our captions on our goals, give advice on things we’ve figured out, share fun times and great achievements.
But in private, the conversation often turns to the problems of life. I’m struggling with this thing that happened to me, I’m unhappy at work, I don’t know where I’m going or what I’m doing.
A lot of my writing has been focused on the former, because it seems that most people want to know how ...
“What are crumbs? The crumbs I’m talking about are the choices we make that make us have to look over our shoulder in the future.” — Matthew McConaghuey
I’m the guiltiest, so don’t take this blog as me telling you what to do. Make no mistake, this is my process of integrating this idea for myself.
Crumbs are the guilt, regret, and remorse you’re causing your future self to feel because of a lack of act...
My journey into bettering myself began in 7th grade, when I learned one simple fact about my own psychology:
I can control my own emotions.
I’m terrified of heights. When I look down and know that one wrong slip could leave me hitting the ground hard enough for real injury, my whole body shakes and and I become paralyzed.
Everything changed in 7th grade when I went with a whole group of friends to King...
Issues and hard times will continue to pop up in our lives, and sometimes we won’t be ready or equipped to handle them as gracefully as we might like. In those times, it is extremely helpful to seek advice.
When seeking advice, it is most best to identify the 1 person you trust, who has expertise in this specific set of circumstances, and cares more for your well being than they care for the ego boost from ...
First, here’s what you’re going to need to make the perfect cup of coffee:
- Good Coffee Beans. Single Origin, Dark Roast, with fruit notes tends to be my favorite variety.
- A Chemex or Dripper to make it in a pour-over fashion. I prefer pour-over above a french press because a) no silt and b) smoother taste.
- Paper Filters. Do not be swayed by the marketing on metal filters that you wash out, they are ...
I’ve been writing very consistently, almost daily, for a couple of months and today I have very few ideas.
But, I would love to give you the advice I use when I run up against a creative block.
Ideas In = Ideas Out
I can sit and think all day about what I want to say, but I just may not have the right angle, perspective, or the right lens to put it through today to create a full article or a full video...
How can we learn to be happy in our pursuit, rather than in our achievements? I think the answer lies in understanding the brain chemistry. What you probably don’t know is that Dopamine is connected to anticipation, not a moment of achievement and euphoria. Your brain is wired to reward you for PURSUING a goal, not for reaching it!
Judging yourself is the biggest obstacle between you and what you want.
Stop judging yourself, and maybe you can live a little happier doing what’s best for you.

Ditch your ego, stop valuing yourself for your current ability, and start valuing your ability to figure things out. Become the learner in all situations, and you might find more success and potential within yourself than you thought possible.
In this video I walk through the importance of continuously learning in order to achieve whatever success you aspire to in your career, and in your personal life. I learned this particular bit of life philosophy first from Tom Bilyeu.
In this video I share my thoughts on how optimizing your life around being happy isn't the beautiful thing it's cracked up to be. Maybe we should search for peace instead, because happiness is fleeting.

How much more harmful are the consequences of anger, than the circumstances that aroused it within us?
We can plan our lives, but shit happens. What if we could learn to love fate? What if we learned to take the circumstances we're given, and love the process of making the most of it?
Today I decided to share my thoughts about receiving new opportunities at work. Part of me is wildly anxious about it, while the other piece of me is excited to seize the day. The trick is, we have the ability to choose to seize the day, We can choose to listen to the part of ourselves that serves us and pushes us into new territory with excitement and vigor.
In this first episode of my daily blog, I run through the 2 HUGE Keys that Unlocked My Ability to Make Content and Build My Personal Brand.
Key #1: Find a process that GIVES you ENERGY, and does NOT drain you.
