The Full Story Of My NFT Project, Solana Showdown [Video Script]
If you think back to 2021/2022, you’ll almost certainly remember the NFT hype. That period of time where people were dropping their life savings for pictures of apes. Yeah. Well, during that time, I was in possibly my peak hustle culture phase. But, I was also broke. So how did I try to get in […]
The key to overcoming laziness and achieving success – habits, routines, and systems
Believe it or not, I’m a really lazy person. I think it’s biologically hardwired into me. It’s at least partially true for other members of my family. But the difference is this – I’m deeply aware of it, and work to overcome it. And this awareness of laziness and effort to overcome it is what’s […]
How writing triggers my intelligence, and my current relationship with writing
Recently I was writing the post “Understanding and learning to use my superpower, determination“. When I set out to write that post, I had no plan.

How I want to write (June 2023)
I enjoy writing. I’m good at writing. I’m smart. I’m able to clearly and effectively communicate ideas. I’m able to be easily understood. I’m coherent and good with language. I enjoy sharing through the medium of writing. What I don’t like is the research and planning that goes into traditional blogging, email, etc. I like […]
The trouble of self-acceptance when your whole identity was built on self-improvement – a reflection
In a previous post, I discussed how I’m rejoining social media, which led to a kind of self-discovery that I wanted to explore. Not using social media made me feel better than others. That’s the cold, hard truth. The same is true for many of the other self-improvement traits I built. It may not be […]
