I’m afraid to lose money. I’m afraid new things I try won’t work out. I’m afraid the people I love will leave me. I’m afraid people won’t like something I wrote. Or a podcast I did. I’m afraid the future won’t be what I want it RIGHT NOW to be. That it will look different. […]

I count money in the shower. I think of every opportunity I have. I think of how much money each opportunity is going to give me. Then I divide it up. I used to divide it up: parents, kids, retirement (assuming I’m going to not care after age 80 but who knows), etc. It was […]

I needed to figure out how to change my entire life. Because the current one was going badly. It was 2002. A lot of people had it bad. But sadly I didn’t care about them. I was really depressed. My entire career at that point had added up to zero. There were some successes. But […]

So at first I thought he had killed himself. Took his life, as they say, as if life is something to give and take at just a whim. But then we both figured out that he was probably killed. We learned that someone he had trusted (as these things often go) had escaped with his […]

This has been the worst year of my life. So bad I thought I would die, over and over. But then wonderful things happened. Things that will change me forever. And nobody really knew because I practiced my own daily practice throughout. I say this not because I want sympathy. I say it because I’m proud. […]

A little over a year ago I threw out almost everything I owned. Since then I’ve been living out of a single bag. And then I took off. I live in random places through airbnb or other house or room sharing services. I don’t have a car, I don’t even have a driver’s license. I […]

I feel horrible when I’m bad at something. When I started my first business, I was bad at dealing with partners, employees, money, expenses, and negotiation. There’s no way to start a business without being bad at those things. People who are good, are good because they spent ten years being bad. Note: You have […]
