In this journal, I share lessons I'm learning in my pursuit of entrepreneurship, graduating college, continuously growing mentally and physically, growing a podcast, being productive, fulfilling my potential, and building meaningful relationships.
If you don't stop and look around every once in a while...
If you get all 5 done, no matter what else happens during the day, you can cross them off and write a big "W" on that piece of paper because you won the day.
I don't do all this self-reflection without purpose. It's extremely helpful-->you should try it.
These are journal entries on days where I didn't write an accompanying post for the entry. Most recent entries are on top.
Lately, I’ve been using my phone as an alarm because I left my physical alarm in Alabama. That means I’m in the habit of setting my alarm at night and turning it off in the morning. It means my phone is the first and last thing I touch, and I don’t like that.
Our ancestors did not eat seed oils, impossible burgers, naked juice, and hormone-fed livestock. These new foods are the ones that need to prove themselves. What we’ve been eating for thousands of years do not.Buy your processed food with skepticism--or don't buy them at all.
To make journaling worthwhile, ask yourself interesting questions. Here’s an easy one: what is one thing I learned today? You can’t claim to know something until you’ve tried to explain it to someone else. Today’s question challenges you to do just that.

Elon Musk's genius reputation is amplified when you realize that everything he does is mutually reinforcing in the short and long term. Elon does not know at what point his projects will converge into space colonization. Elon does know that his probability of reaching Mars increases with each of his activities, so he'll stay the course.
My dad’s close friend has a concrete business. My dad has always encouraged me to shadow his friend for a day and see what all is involved in the process of finishing concrete. I took that offer today.
This is day four of this experimental “journal in public” format for me. I don’t have a theme to write about, so I created four prompts. Then, I answered them.
I tried to do too many things today. So many books tell the same story. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are at dinner. They are asked what the single most important factor for their success was. Reportedly, they both said “focus.”
Digital assets are cool. Blog posts are assets. Podcasts are assets. YouTube videos are assets. Designs are assets. You produce them once and over time they continue to bring value as long as the internet exists.
I'm dividing the written content on this site between the 'blog' which is a collection of more thoughtfully produced articles and the 'journal' which is more raw and reflective.
