Thank you for being alive. For reading, commenting, and supporting, not just my work, but the work of all writers, creators, and everyone building this epic civilization.
I didn’t realize it until reflecting: this year was unbelievable. I saw a total solar eclipse, I helped build a beautiful in-person community, 400 people joined my email list, I published a paperback book, it sold a bunch of copies and got great reviews.

I completed three game-changing online courses:

I interviewed a homeless 26-year-old and realized my second book, Keep Going, had started writing itself. I’ll ship early copies to beta readers in 2025. Comment if you want one.
I got to experience appendicitis, E. Coli, an episode of anxiety, severe back spasms, tinnitus, and other fun stuff.
I forged friendships with people who I will love until I’m dead.
I’ve never been more excited to keep going.

Back to Teslas, guns, and large people. Very large people. The land of efficiency. We’re so efficient that we sacrifice on quality. The land where people …
Have a great rest of your day.
