The 5 Decisions That Determine the Quality of Your 20s

Most people don’t think about these things till it’s too late. — When I was 21, battling severe anxiety, and completely lost when it came to what I was going to do with my life, I used to spend a lot of time watching those Gary Vaynerchuk videos on Instagram and YouTube. They were motivational. They were inspiring. They were a relief…

Thoughts On Chicago, Freedom, and the 4th of July

Where are we going? — This 4th of July, there’s only one thing I’m certain of: I don’t know what freedom is anymore. What I do know is that it isn’t what I was taught in school. In America, we make a big fuss about having “freedom”, but we still use smartphones that basically listen…

5 Writing Lessons That Helped Me Get My First 8 Million Views Online

I turned my hobby into a career — quickly. — Most writing advice on the internet is overly simplistic. This isn’t because writing is easy, it’s because writing is hard.

I Studied How the Top Writers On the Internet Deal With Their Haters

I’ve been doing this all wrong. — The other day, someone I’ve never met told me on Quora that I was “never going to be successful as a martial artist or a writer” (ouch). Earlier this year, someone called me a “whiny pussy” (double ouch). Last fall, someone called me “an anxiety-ridden man who can’t cope with…

Halfway Through 2022: Reflections and Goals For the Next 6 Months

If you had told me in January. — I don’t usually feel great about reminiscing over the past, but the past 6 months have been crazy. At the beginning of this year, I’d never competed against a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu. …

How to End Self-Improvement

A solution to the philosophical dilemma of improving yourself. — Self-improvement is a dirty word. Someone called me a “self-improvement writer” the other day, and honestly, it made me feel icky. Self-improvement is a community (although, that’s putting it loosely) of people who are investing time, money, and other resources in their lives in the name of becoming “better”. However…

Why You Should Approach Writing Like a Soviet Wrestler

Creating the perfect writer from the perfect athlete. — Recently, I was listening to an old podcast with MIT scientist Lex Fridman and legendary wrestler Dan Gable. If you don’t know much about Gable, the first thing I’ll say is that he was my hero when I started wrestling in the 7th grade. Dan Gable was one of the…

People kept asking: “Who the hell is this guy?” — In November of 2021, I competed in and lost in the second round of the ADCC Trials (a qualifier for the most important submission grappling tournament in the world) in a division that had more than 150 athletes.

What I Learned and Earned From One Year Of Writing On Substack

An email address is worth far more than a follower — Technically, I’m about 6 weeks late on this article. I started writing my newsletter on Substack on the last Friday in April of 2021. However, that little buffer has given me some time to reflect adequately on everything I have learned in my first year on Substack. Substack is a…
