My therapist said, of her thousands of clients... most people are actually slowly wasting away from ONE THING.... Boredom.
Most people live an oatmeal kind of life.
Oatmeal... it'll keep you alive, but it will bore you to death.
99.9% of people:
Wake up.
Go to the job they think is meh.
With people they think are lame.
Doing stuff that doesn't matter.
Having sex 1-2x a month same way w/ someone they kinda still like.
People are drowning in a sea of runny just kind of fine sorta life.
That terrifies me.
The image of lukewarm mush as a testament to being alive. F*CK THAT.
I want a steak, followed by ube potatos, drizzled in truffle oil, followed by a delicious arugula salad, then maybe some warm chocolate chip cookies right after I just crushed a session in the waves kind of life.
Ya. Truffle oil. Ok. I like cheap beer and fancy schmancy food.
I've realized, the worst thing that can happen to you isn’t failure.
It’s never trying and living in mediocrity.
It's why ownership is so imporant.
Own your income streams.
So you can own your life.
So you can go for the fing steak.
Go big.
Do the damn thing.

A secret... I still pinch myself at who is coming to uncon.
Why?
Because maybe 8 years ago I went to @noahkagan SumoCon and it opened an entire new world to me.
My biggest wish, is to create that for another.
I have since built businesses w/ people I met there.
- Made investments
- Become buds w/ Noah and his team
And it gave me the first courage to break out of an industry I hated (wall st) and learn all these humans have incredible careers I've never even considered.
Step 1: Choose a topic
Framework: 4 P's find where..
- People: interested already (ie big FB groups on subject)
- Profits: ways to make people $ (we like that)
- Paychecks: peeps r spending on it already
- Perspective: you have insight, expertise, or just share as you learn
