It is extremely important to live away from family in yo 20s Meet them occassionally but staying with them would only limit your potential growth.

One of the biggest advantages of creating content vs the corporate world is the “snowball effect”: all your gains add up, and if for whatever reason you stop or coast for a bit, it keeps paying dividends, with very low likelihood of going back to 0

There’s also something quite funny about ordering through an app precisely so you don’t have to leave the house, speak to a cashier or interact with the driver, then eating the food on your sofa while watching another driver’s entire shift on Youtube. We keep removing all the friction, strangers and spontaneous encounters from our own lives, then consume other people experiencing them as entertainment. It's also wh…

Being on sabbatical has messed with my sense of time and productivity. The sense of urgency at work seemed to compress the entire day more than I was appreciating. Wake up quickly, commute efficiently, squeeze email replies into the coffee line or elevator. Wolf down dinner, fit a hard workout into 45 minutes, skim interesting articles you stumble across, keep tabs on a dozen different Slack threads, then still find…

As much as we love to dunk on “corporate life”, it installs a tempo in your life and forces scarcity. We often hear: “If I didn’t have my job, I’d recover 50 hours a week. Imagine everything I could build/read/train/do.” But then people leave their job, and somehow accomplish less than in the 3h of spare time they had every day.

You can be 28, making $300k in NYC, working a chill 9-5 tech job, objectively in the top 1% of your age group… Then open TikTok on a random Tuesday and see some 19yo with acne apparently making $50k/month, living between Bali and Dubai, flying business, partying with models, “working” 2 hours/day from his laptop. And the wo…

there are so many ppl on insta now that just party & travel (& get paid for it somehow). that’s kinda nuts for everyone else because they have to watch these ppl while they’re at work. no wonder everyone wants to become an “influencer”.

everyone looks like they're winning when you only see the best 1%.

The most cooked here aren't even the normies. It's the most ambitious / driven people. The normie sees some 23yo making $70k/month from Dubai and thinks “lol fake” or “good for him” and moves on. The ambitious person can’t. He starts reverse-engineering it: What is he selling? How did he get distribution? Is he actually profitable? Is this replicable? Am I in the wrong game? Should I quit my job? Am I behind? Is my…
