Why I don’t care about $100k/month...

In this video, I discuss the growing obsession with making increasingly larger sums of money in business, like the recent claim of needing to earn 100k per month. I emphasize the importance of focusing on profit and integrity rather than just top-line revenue, as seen in examples like OpenAI's 1.6 billion dollars in monthly revenue without profit. I caution against making big claims that may not be sustainable, and I encourage a mindset shift towards creating impact first and income second. I invite viewers to connect with me if they are interested in making a meaningful difference rather than just chasing big numbers.

What if your dreams just take time?

In this video, I share valuable lessons I've learned from over 10,000 hours of building my business, emphasizing that consistency compounds while rushing can lead to burnout. I discuss the importance of showing up for your audience before they show up for you, noting that it typically takes an average of seven hours and 11 interactions across four platforms for someone to commit to you. I also highlight the necessity of treating business like a marathon rather than a sprint, as growth takes time and patience. My key takeaway is to focus on consistent, manageable actions rather than seeking immediate results. I encourage you to reflect on your own consistency and how you can better engage with your audience.

How I’m solving the Struggle of being both Father and Founder

In this video, I share my journey of balancing being a father and a founder, emphasizing the importance of being fully present in each role. I discuss the concept of the 'Coin of Presence,' which highlights how we can only focus on one side at a time, whether it's business or family. I've learned that constraints can actually drive urgency and effectiveness, allowing us to act with greater purpose. I encourage you to embrace the duality of being a founding father, as it enriches both your personal and professional life. Together, let's build a foundation for our families that reflects our values and work ethic.

In this video, I share my experience of returning to content creation after a break and the challenges that come with it, including feeling unprepared and struggling to find ideas.

I also suggest setting up your filming space and journaling to spark creativity, as creativity is a habit that can be developed.
