The Purpose of Life

The Purpose of Life

People make a pretty big deal of out the whole “meaning of life” thing. To me it’s abundantly obvious. The purpose of life is to grow. The purpose of life is to start out unrefined and move as much as we can towards refinement. How do you grow? That’s easy, too. By taking on and […]

How to Stand on the Shoulders of Giants

How to Stand on the Shoulders of Giants

It all comes down to values. Whether I’m giving a talk to a high-school, running a multi-day event, or leading my team, you better bet I’m going to bring up the idea of values. Why? Well, I could fill up your entire feed with the reasons why, but the short answer is that if you […]

Seeing Forward in Time & Space

Seeing Forward in Time & Space

If a goal doesn’t “feel” real to you, the likelihood of you achieving that goal is near zero. That feeling comes from your subconscious. And even if you really, really want to achieve that goal – even if you put all of your conscious effort towards it – your subconscious will trip you up every […]

Capturing Attention

Capturing Attention

There are stages of awareness you need to be aware of when you’re building an audience by producing content. First, they become aware of you. Then, if you’re lucky, they realize they have a need you can help them with and they become in-consideration of you. An even smaller number of those in-consideration of you […]

How Your Labels Hold You Back

How Your Labels Hold You Back

Morally labeling things is a one-way ticket to emotional fragility. Because moral labels are absolute and one-sided, whenever someone does something that isn’t congruent with the label, we’ll react accordingly.

Short Term Pain Mitigation

Keep your hands off that marshmallow. Here’s a quick explanation if you don’t know what I’m talking about: in the 60s there was an experiment done at Stanford involving delayed gratification.

Why Do You Do What You Do?

Why Do You Do What You Do?

Every quarter I take time out of my business to talk to my team about their values. For a business owner, that time is a serious investment. Pulling everyone away from their job is not something I take lightly. I do it because it’s valuable. Why is it valuable? One of the ways I know […]

Your Role Models are Sabotaging Your Success

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? Would you invest it into your business? Buy a nice house for your family? Show it off with a fancy car? You’re going to hear a couple of voices pop up. The first voice will say “Oh, cool. Maybe I can finally take […]
