Crossing the finish line on Sunday was a lot more than finishing a race that I’ve been training for since 4 I signed up for four months ago.
It was the closing of a huge chapter in my life’s book. I recorded a podcast on why I signed up for this race that you should check out
Yo wtf...just saw a stat that said only 30-50% of people have an internal dialogue. There's really 50%+ of the population out here walking around with NOTHING going on in their head?? Everything is starting to make much more sense
Whenever I’m feeling uncreative I watch this John Mayer video and reminds me that you become creative by creating. There’s no thinking yourself into creativity.
Have watched probably 100 times.
If the last 2.5 years have taught me anything, it's that Twitter bros are a more reliable source of information than the mainstream authorities on just about every topic.
Psychedelics being illegal to even study for the past 50 years while opioids have been given out like breath mints prove that institutions don't want to actually help you get better.

I put in my 2-week notice at my $125k/yr job on Friday to bet on myself and build my own business.
My fear of failure held me back from taking the leap for so long.
My journey over the past 3 years and why I didn't let fear stop me this time:
@zachhomol_
Mattress Firm is a front for a massive drug ring.
They have way too many damn mattress stores. Not that many people are buying mattresses everyday.
@ClassyMassi
From what I could gather they just skim the pages and pick up a few words to conceptualize what they’re reading. But there’s no inner voice “reading” the words
Today is my 30th birthday.
Last month I quit my $125k/yr job.
I’m currently sitting on a patio in Athens, Greece.
I have a one way flight booked at the end of August to go live in Argentina.
What the hell did I just do:
@GoStros1
yea, I thought that the constant chatter was the norm and that's why meditation and other mindfulness activities are so important. Apparently not...
I struggled with chronic lower back pain since I was 17 years old. For 10 years I thought I would always have back pain.
The last 2 years, I've had 0 issues.
Here's how I solved it:
Me in 2019:

-Drifting through life
-Getting blackout drunk every weekend
Me in 2022:
-Confident
-Healthy
-6 figure net worth
-Living with purpose
-Building my own business
The 6 actions I took (that you can implement) to change my life:
The book that has had the biggest impact on my life.
This was the book that started me on my personal development journey. It’s a quick read that I come back to 2-3x per year as a constant reminder.
Know a guy who’s selling his motorcycle. He wants $6200 for it.
Instead of selling it for $6200 he’s selling 100 raffle tickets for $65
1st place gets the bike
2nd place gets $200
3rd place gets $100
75 Hard Update: I failed
I didn't take a progress pic, get two workouts in, or read my 10 pages on Saturday or Sunday this weekend.
Old me would've never mentioned it because I had a terrible fear of being seen as a failure.
Now, failure is just part of the game.
Psychedelics being illegal to even research for the past 50 years while opioids have been given out like tic tacs prove that institutions don't want to actually help you get better.
I've eaten nothing but steak, chicken, eggs, avocado, blueberries, and bananas for the past 5 days and I feel like I could run through a wall right now.
Whether you want to admit it or not, you are being programmed 24/7 by the content you are consuming. You can use it to your advantage or you can let it turn you into a zombie of the masses.
Your choice.
I applaud anyone who has hit rock bottom in their life and climbed out. Because you are all by yourself at that moment and you can either choose to succumb to the feelings of despair or use it to fuel you.
Got to the airport and happened to sit down at a coffee shop right next to the exit where people arriving first come into the concourse where anybody can be.
For the past 40 minutes, I’ve watched people greet family and friends who are coming for the holidays.
One of the
Queen Elizabeth, one of the most famous people ever, died 2 months ago & nobody talks about it or cares anymore. Think of how fast you’ll be forgotten.
That can either make you sad or it can be the reason to do what YOU want with your life because when you die, no one cares.
Decided on a company name
Vita Health & Nutrition
Vita is Greek for life
I’m not the guy who will promise to get you to lose 20lbs in 30 days.
Give me 6-12 months of your time & I will help you create habits that make you look/feel better than ever & stay that way, forever.
2.5 hr ride to my sisters house today. Excited to be diving in to Metabolical by
@RobertLustigMD
Just finished up the introduction section and he uses 6 words to explain how to eat to be healthy.
Protect the liver. Feed the gut.
I fuckin told you we were finishing strong!!!
Final run time beat my first run.
Your mind will always break first. This whole run my mind was telling me slow down. That i didn’t have anything left.
Fuck that.
The life we call "normal" isn't normal at all. A 9-to-5 job, a mortgage, a spouse and kids...who said that was life?
Life is whatever you create for your life. Don't get sucked into other people's versions of life that you don't want.
8 months ago I was lost.
No idea what I wanted to do with my life.
No self-confidence. Living in constant fear of failure.
I let what others might think of me control my actions.
I was living a lie.
How a journey to the jungle of Costa Rica changed my life:
My nutrition and fitness is something that I’ve cared about for a long time and have wanted to help others become healthier. But I never believed in myself enough to build a business so I can help.
That changes today. Today I’m building out my new life.
El Salvador’s new campaign is centered on healthy lifestyle focusing on diet, exercise, and spending time in nature.
The US gov should be taking some notes.
Not every single conversation you have needs to turn into a deep philosophical discussion about why humans are the way we are. Sometimes it's cool to talk about how someone's day is going.
Exercises to follow to strengthen your core.
-Bird Dogs
-Cat Back
-Planks (normal and side)
-Supermans
I would do 2 sets of 20 of each exercise 3x per week.
Not feeling rested even after a full night sleep?
Might be because you’re mouth breathing.
Mouth breathing activates the fight or flight part of the nervous system.
Nasal breathing activates the rest and relax part of the nervous system.
Tape might be your answer.
Yesterday marked 1 year since I quit my corporate job to bet on myself to make something happen. To trust that there was more to life than working a 9-5 job that gave me no fulfillment.
Looking back on the past year, there are some things I’m proud of and others that I’m not.
Stop 4 of 5 of the Patagonia tour in the books.
El Chalten is one of my favorite places I’ve ever been. A small town inside the National Park surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen.
Must visit for anyone who loves the outdoors.
