Philosophy

hot take

normalize being an asshole for the sake of somebody's future

common examples:

1.) in shape friends telling out of shape friend to work out

2.) friends who are dating/married telling single friend to ask someone out

obviously the person has to put the work in but the above makes it way easier to get started

on the giving side, it can feel very uncomfortable doing this, but the receiving side will greatly appreciate it later

totally (un)related but most of my friends are in a relationship so any chance they get they are trying to be like this

am in the process of decorating my apartment and decided that this picture is going to go on my wall

why?

the power of friendship can't be beat.

a bit overdue but life update:

i'm now working on app.royco.org!

royco is the best way to incentivize anything on chain.

it was used earlier this year to power the berachain boyco program, which helped them lock in ~$2.2b pre launch.

really excited to start sharing more about what im working on soon! 

until then - we're so back 🙂

The reason why I love the bear so much is because Carmy's character arc is so reminiscent of a lot of people's stories

1.) leaves home to try to become big in cooking, not because he wants to, but because he wants to prove to others that he can do it
2.) realizes he wants to be close to family, so moves back home
3.) has issues adjusting out of the bad habits from 1, until someone calls him out on it

Most people I think have the person for 3, although its really sad when they don't. One thing I was told at a young age was to always be conscious of who I surround myself with. IMO its always better to err on the side of being mean as long as you have best intentions in mind. Maybe am wrong though

A small habit/ritual that i developed from living/working with @oconnell that has changed my life drastically is taking 5-10 minutes writing in a notebook like this at the beginning or end of my day

It can be about anything, i can feel super sad/angry/mad/anxious, etc, doesn’t really matter as long as i do it

Its:

1.) helped me better understand how i feel about something and write it out

2.) helped me find my own opinion on certain things, in a world where we constantly are surrounded/influenced by whats around us

I thought it was dumb at first until i started doing it - now i do it all the time, you should too!

don't take my casts super seriously please (most of them at least)
