Walking in circles

Trying to get my head straight.

Thinking about our community of 300 completely sold-out solopreneurs that I’m growing.

Sometimes I struggle to find the right language to describe what I am doing, and it annoys the f*ck out of me.

So forgive me if I don’t make sense, and ask me questions if it tugs at your soul and you want to know more.

Our Community is called The Conversation Collective…

It’s for people who work by themselves, for themselves to create a better life for the people they love.

I call these people Solopreneurs.

I also call them Modern Day Pirates.

Because like a pirate, they hate being weighed down by rules and convention.

These are good pirates, though.

Brave souls.

And within our community, we have a collective mission.

We are going to revolutionise social media for good.

We are going to use it actively to start compelling conversations.

Where every conversation you have on social media can leave the other person a little better off.

And these…

Conversations done right will be the fuel for both your life and your business.

When you can generate business from social simply by talking to people… then you have power, then you have a leveraged brand.

If you want to work from anywhere in the world and if you want to be generating business from social by simply having good, kind, joyful, and uplifting conversations, then you probably belong in our community.

I don’t know if I explained this well enough…

I am still pacing around the backyard…

Would you like to join our Conversation Collective?

Hint: If you are jaded or frustrated by social media, then there is an excellent chance that our community is for you.

I walked so much, I rubbed my inner thighs so raw that they bled into my underpants.

In 24 hours, the best moment of my life, the birth of my child, had turned into an unfathomable nightmare.

I encountered the face of something that I knew existed but had never met before.

Racism. Prejudice on a systemic scale that still sickens me.

Share

10 years later and the PTSD still lingers.

The problem didn’t stop with bleeding thighs; it went on for months and months.

It cost me everything I owned.

I slept for less than two hours a night.

I was fighting a monster that few people see, an ignorant, greedy, ravenous beast that had no need for the truth.

I realize that I am talking in metaphor and deliberately so.

I won’t share the full details of this story ever.

However, I will tell you what I have learned from this story.

Never give up when you know that you are right.

Always persist.

Fight for those that you love.

And also this:

Huge personal growth comes from encountering great obstacles.

I am 3X the man now than I was before.

I am stronger in my character.

Wiser in my understanding of the world.

Kinder in the ways that I relate to those on the margins.

I think this is the key to understanding any tough time or challenge. If you persist through it, you will become more fully human.

The Key to Overcoming & How It Can Help Your Business

There’s a problem with never telling your story.

Other people will.

And they will own it, even though their narrative is incomplete and sometimes incorrect.

When you share your story, you take back your power.

How much you share is up to you.

A milestone birthday.

I am beyond excited.

The kids will probably celebrate me and make a big deal about Dad hitting the big one, but here’s the truth…

I wouldn’t mind if no one celebrated me at all…

Why?

Because I’ve already chosen my own birthday gift.

I’m going to give myself the greatest 12 months of my life ever.

This was before “Woody’s indiscretions were known to the world.”

“Woody Allen says that “80% of success is simply showing up.” So if you show up to church regularly, you will change, and you will grow.”

This was the essence of the message.

So much wrong here.

It delays action.

It inhibits connection.

It sees failure as a weakness rather than a tool for growth.

In the next 12 months, my commitment is to build really imperfect things that are built on the back of failure.

I will fail often.

Her 11-year-old brother saw her, so he snuck up to the closet and casually leaned against the door, trapping her inside.

Such a big brother #sshole maneuver.

Soon I heard screaming from the cupboard, and I ran over and let her out.

She was terrif…

I hopped in my car, drove to the closest gym to my house, and hired the very first personal trainer I met.

That was the only criterion in my decision-making process:
Closest gym. First trainer.

I don’t want to hurt you with these words.

But if you read them honestly, they may cut you just a little.

Have you given up on yourself?

I’m seeing it everywhere lately. People quietly surrendering the dreams they once had for their own lives.

Brave people, beautiful people, laying down their fire… settling into an endless gray couch of “I guess this is jus…

Old things have to die.

This photo is from October, 2009. It’s me in a suit with a beard I had cultivated for 12-months.

I was proud of that beard and a tailor had personally tailored that suit to fit me perfectly.

I remember this photo well. I was standing on the edge of w…

His ship — The Good Pirate — bobbed gently, like an empty bottle in a murky pond. He was going nowhere.

In one half-drunken moment, he adjusted his eyepatch and considered abandoning the ship altogether, trying to swim for land. Anything felt better than this soul-destroying stillness.

He had big horns, wiry hair, a crooked grin and was possibly sent by satan to kill me.

I didn’t see him coming. It felt like he jumped out of the dense fog right at the front windscreen.

I slammed on the brakes, swerved violently, and barely missed his nimble body.

I clutched my shrieking new wife’s hand (and she gra…
