The most powerful habit for writers to improve their relationships: Better Communication Over the past 4 years, I've focused on communication every day—and along the way I've learned: • Speech = identity • New info puts the other in a box • Communication starts in the body


My goal: Play long-term games with long-term people. I'm not chasing 20K followers, I'm here to help 2-4 people grow their revenue. And after I've partnered with a few dozen people and helped them reach their online business goals, I'll analyze the results, package the process,…

The biggest risk to your future isn’t your competition, it’s the distractions you insist on keeping in your life rather than doing the things you know you should be doing but aren’t.

Patience is a superpower. But it’s woefully out of style.


The single most powerful habit for writing better: Read books Over the last 10 yrs, I’ve read a book every single month—and along the way, I’ve: • Written thousands of articles • Authored award-winning newspaper columns But I always return to books. They are foundational.

It’s a fucking miracle to be alive. Out of all the billions of circumstances that had to exist, in just the right proportions at just the right time, it’s an incredible impossibility that I’m alive. It’s incredible you’re alive, reading this. It’s a fucking miracle.


The 3 pillars of a happy, effective life: • Always building something • Regular walking, running, or biking outdoors • Spending summer afternoons watching clouds go by So simple, but we make it complicated.


Some advice just never gets old. "Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself." —Seneca This was true 2,000 years ago, and it’s still true today. Share what you learn.


Here's your every-so-often reminder: Nobody has all the answers. Nobody knows fully. Nobody is coming to save you from yourself. Knowing this, what will you do today?


Feeling stuck? Reconnect with nature. No Phone No Rushing No Schedule Just you, your thoughts, and the land. It works every time.

Listen.

Stories like these should be mandatory viewing for anyone who thinks racism was magically solved when Jackie broke the color line. We are lucky we have people like Reggie to tell them.



“The fool betrays himself.” — Seneca You are the only person who can end your self-sabotage.
