This goes into the business conference I almost didn't go to, but ended up changing the course of my professional and self help journey. Sometimes it's the little choices we make that can change our forever. I made the choice to ignore my discomfort from sleep deprivation and go anyways. I have learned invaluable lessons from this one experience.I then go into how my book came about and how I started writing it. I also get into the whole publishing process.

I’m on the quest for real substance and hyper reality. Joy in the midst of our sobering reality. Joy that has been found without external means to draw it out.When you find joy in the slow and purposeful way, you are finding it in an eternal way, the way It was meant to naturally be found. Happiness is found through patience.I say patience because we are always in a rush to find happiness or find what is next in order to fill us quick. We are so impatient that we hardly take the slow and quiet path that leads us to real lasting happiness. Instead we used instant gratification to get our fix, and then on to the next. A gratification that often makes us feel too good and too soon, will leave just as quickly as it came. We are setting ourselves up for disappointment because our expectations are never met in our quest for happiness.Our expectations are wrong. Those expectations that anything can be harnessed with minimal effort and no patience will rob us of our peaceWhen talking about substance, I keep coming back to the idea of social media. I don’t think people realize that in a way, our constant devotion to our online personas is basically the worship of the internet. I don’t even mean in the way where people just show their highlight reel. More in the way they we waste our efforts and words into this black hole of the internet and less and less are we actually investing our time with our real life connections. Social media is making us spent and tired. We constantly pump out our emotions on it to be left with almost nothing in return. It’s so lonely and empty to care about a space that is invisible.We don’t see how its become of a center of worship in our life. Now, I love the internet and all the opportunities, adventures and friends its helped me make. But there were times I was so enthralled by the persona I was on the internet. I thought my words mattered. I thought any of it mattered. It doesn’t. I am so unbothered by the nonsense I see now, because I just know that people are lost and trying to fill a whole. We get dopamine hits when we get likes, comments and messages. We continue to put our efforts on the internet in order to get that fleeting bit of happiness. Meanwhile neglecting the inner work it takes to actually find happiness. We vent our frustrations online because we have not yet learned how to cope with them in the quietness of our heads. We need to be validated, paid attention to. When we don’t bother to validate others or pay attention to people in front of us. We spurt out things we think will bring meaning to the world, while somehow still feeling meaningless and empty. It’s a distractionIts an illusion Once you can remain un-phased by the merry go-around of the inter web, you can actually start to experience joy and find where it actually hides. People are tranced by this small world the internet has created for them. It has made so many blind to what their life actually looks like from the outsideIt has made human contact less genuine and less kind.Instead of speaking to a human, we feel we are speaking to an avatar.We treat people like what comprises them are 10 bullet points. And that’s all we need to know for how we ought to treat them.Who did they vote for? Do they recycle? Are they wearing a mask?Our avatars are barely human on the internet. Humans are so intricate and deeply complex.We are so beyond the way we seem online.Challenge: Don’t involve yourself in the merry go-around of arguments, debates, spurting of opinions. You don’t owe anyone on the Internet an answer. You don’t owe an explanation.Don’t ever feel like you do because everyone is saying you do.Live at a higher level and remain unbothered when you see things you feel are non-sense. Let it be well with your soul to not engage. To know there is a higher calling in your life

I learned so much within 1 year of being sober. Like literally, SO much. A small episode could hardly scratch the surface, but I was so excited to celebrate that I wanted to talk a little about what this choice did for me and how cutting out big distractions, in general, can change your life. I even go over how other things, not just alcohol, can be used as a crutch to mute the pain we are meant to feel.

This episode is on how I built confidence even when it was nearly illogical to be confident. I also go over how I powered through imposter syndrome and never let “industry norms” dictate what I did or made me feel like what I was doing was not valuable or not worthy.We have to build this confidence to stand out from other business owners and become the ones that stand out. In a time where it's so easy to get discouraged because of a pandemic, fragile election, and the world basically melting, it's easy to feel like our business aspirations should be put on hold. But I'm here to tell you why that is not the case and how your ideas are still worthy and worth the effort.
