Want to know why? * I think it’s not good enough.* I’ll do it tomorrow since I’m busy right now.* I’m not qualified to say something, since others know more.* People will mock or judge me.* I’ll offend someone. And while there is some truth to each of these fears, the reality is that when […]

I believe the main reason people don’t get what they want is simply because they don’t ask for it specifically. Don’t just ask for a job– say you’re a digital marketer serving dentists to attract dentists to hire you. Don’t just say you need a mentor– say you’re trying to get Descript and Frame.io to

Wherever you spend your time reveals what you love. Are you wasting time on frivolous activities while ignoring loved ones? Are you overworked and overwhelmed— being out of time?

These past few months have been wild! If you had asked me on March 1st how I would cope with being on lockdown, I would have laughed in your face. And yet, here we are. We’ve had some time to process, reflect, and hopefully begin emerging on the other side of this crisis, so I

But first, this is me towards the end of the 3,000-meter steeplechase, after leaping over the water barrier. We sometimes ran over 100 miles a week, two runs a day starting at 5 am, plus weight training. Getting up when it’s dark outside, when you’re exhausted, to run 5 miles in 25 minutes will teach

I’m convinced that LOVE is what most people are desperately missing and desperately craving. It causes them to flex on Instagram, secretly hoping for respect and adulation– social proof being a lightweight form of love. It causes them to work hard in their careers, sometimes resorting to stealing when the results don’t come fast enough.
I’ve been learning an incredibly painful lesson, which has cost me years of my life and drained my soul. Don’t accept any less than 100%. Would you board a jet that had a 99% no-crash rating? Or a friend that was incredible 99% of the time, but ripped you off blind 1% of the time?

When you look back on what could have been, and the Phyrric victories you’ve “won”, realize it wasn’t worth it. The cost to be kind is zero dollars and almost zero time, but you do have to put aside your ego. This is how we all grow as people— to be the bigger man— and
