Rock bottom isn’t the same for everyone.
When you notice someone’s down and you have the ability to lift them up, do it every time.
If you do, theres a higher chance that person will do the same for somebody else one day.
You can help ignite that ripple effect.
Do you do what you do for love or validation? Because everything you’re doing to get whatever you think will validate you and prove people wrong will only leave you alone with no one left around to validate you. Then you can’t even validate yourself.
Skip the surface level talk, take your mask off, and get into the real stuff. Your dreams, your fears, what you’re doing or not doing about them. That’s the ground we all stand on.
Not the weather, the score, the gossip, or the brags. That’s all big time borafill.
One of the songs I started over the past couple years that I’m gonna finish and drop soon. Always dug this one.
“Nothing in my cup
Busy waking up
Got no time for energy that doesn’t lift me up
Hope that you get everything that you want
I already got enough!”
Does Twitter curate lists or just suggest them? Would like to discover lists by follower count (of list and creator of list) and by topic. Advanced filter would be great.
This tweet is to let any lurkers know I’m available for free calls to talk about startups, no code, mental health, and the music industry.
My favorite drug is helping others help themselves. Especially creative entrepreneurs.
DM me anytime if you’d like to connect for an intro
. We’re building infrastructure for the mindful creator economy by creating, curating, and acquiring businesses.
Can you imagine a team saying they care about mental health while also trying to crush their competition? Backwards.
I used to make mixtapes in high school and these guys were always on them independently. Literally wore a bandaid under my eye for a month at one point as a kid and got into Tim McGraw and wore cowboy hats lol. When this dropped I couldn’t believe it lol
If you’re a problem solve maybe you can help me with this…
I want to add thousands of followers to a Twitter list. Then I want to unfollow them.
I don’t want to put much effort or time into accomplishing this.
Possible? Or do I need magic lamp?
junkie.
I scan it daily. Also other hubs for startup discovery. I strive for my tool shed to be more of a tool palace.
Rounding up the gems in a monthly recap on
I’m building a startup studio focused on building infrastructure for the mindful creator economy but this blog post I wrote today is about canceling New Year’s resolutions this year lol
Read it now on the best email/blogging platform I’ve used,

8/10 My reality shifted when I found out I had a different biological parent than I thought for 25 years. It made me realize that I had to hold beliefs loosely. You don't know what you don't know.
7/10 If we look at ourselves & the world through our own filter, we only see a part of reality. Letting go of fixed beliefs opens up endless possibilities. This journey becomes the adventure of a lifetime when you take it on with others.
. Here’s the gist:
1/10 No resolutions this year. Tied my happiness to moving goal posts for too long & realized achieving goals don't bring lasting happiness.
It’s hard for people to recognize when you’re building something special while it’s happening. It doesn’t look like the other things you’re used to seeing.
But everything is obvious in retrospect.
Excited to launch everything I’ve been working on next month at SXSW.
We live in contradiction, preaching love & peace while simultaneously exhibiting hate & aggression.
We judge others for selfishness & prejudice, but fail to recognize these traits in ourselves.
Only by seeing ourselves entirely can we see others.
Or history repeats itself.
Even the worst things that happen to us are temporary. Physically and psychologically. It’s our mind that extends the pain. But only the psychological pain.
So we’re left with the choice of letting our minds rule us, or learning it’s structure and freeing ourselves entirely.
At SXSW, I've created official showcases that thousands of people attended and Artist housing pop-ups that offered free housing, education, and collaboration opportunities to 50+ creators and teams.
This year, I’m launching 3 startups:
