Shift from 'survive' to 'ALIVE' | Join me to re-connect with your own inner compass and create a life on your terms | 10 years as an international ski coach
After 2 months on X I drowned in information.
I had no systems and almost quit.
But I spent $2K+ on coaching and learned their value.
Then I built The 5 in 5 to help you:
• 5 X your drive
• 5 X your clarity
• 5 X your progress
All in only 5 minutes per day.

Why I'm turning it down in 2024.
... (While everyone's talking about going harder than ever).
The last 2.5 years have been utter chaos:
• lost career to COVID
• moved to Europe
• became a dad
• learned a new language
• started (& quit) university
• started a carpentry
You come to X to write about what you want.
But when you got here you started doing ‘what works’.
Or at least what they said works.
Very soon it felt like eating a cardboard box.
This was me…
Until I realized…
You could literally talk about anything you want at this
2 months ago I began on X
My mission couldn’t have been clearer
Share insights from my life, knowing that they could give someone the courage to:
- Confront a fear
- Try something new
- Ask questions about their life
- Take a step towards a life they love
But along the way,
You're more powerful than you want to admit.
In fact, I'm willing to bet you purposely dull your shine.
I had the most interesting experience last week.
I cracked something I've been working on for months.
Something in me was limiting my freedom of expression.
• it caused
100 followers - Done differently.
I didn't plan a milestone post but I am grateful.
As a digital artist I want to bring more visuals to X.
So let's start:
- Reply with a word about your brand
- I'll make you a piece in my style
Let's see what we can create together.
The
#1
best gift you can give another person.
Pure presence.
• no agenda
• no opinions
• no demands
Space for them to be what they are to the absolute fullest.
How many times have you experienced that in your life?
Tell the truth.
Get yourself a:
• jacked body
• huge following
• millions of dollars
Go for it. I will too
I can't hate any of it.
But it still won't be what you truly want.
It's all borrowed.
My heart is pounding in my chest.
I never thought I'd share this.
I relied on contact lenses to see since 6 months old.
But self consciousness around my eyes has limited my reality for far too long now.
So it's time to share my biggest fear (until yesterday) with you...
The
#1
lesson I learned from Growth Army.
Being around action takers has hit one thing home.
I'm an overthinker, I'm a perfectionist
And I suffer from analysis paralysis.
But here's how I've changed my ways...
As a digital artist I'd already noticed this.
(I just had to
‘Discipline’ is stopping you from living.
I nearly turned down a lunch date with my partner today.
I felt like I should work.
Because... Discipline.
Discipline is destructive when it comes from fear.
The fear that if you don't control everything you won't get what you want.
I thought I could do everything myself.
But building a business with 3 partners taught me the value of a team.
As a team you cover and hold each other accountable.
Nobody is immune to life's happenings.
That's exactly why I chose to work with a coach and cohort here on X.
6 weeks ago nobody saw my posts
I asked 5+ 𝕏 pros why they weren't noticed
I learned something i didn't expect
» Presentation is as important as your content «
Here are 4 ideas you can try today
⇓ THREAD ⇓
You don't need more courses.
You need to discover who YOU are.
What is the unique combination of gifts only YOU hold?
Following someone else's blueprint is procrastination.
Nobody else can put the pieces together for you.
Don't fall for it.
The best they can offer you is a
You hate mornings?
Something is missing.
Tune in, listen to what it could be.
Don't subscribe to the notion that mornings suck.
Being excited for the day ahead is your natural mode.
My toddler would drag me out of bed... if I wasn't up first.
Something monumental is happening (This is not a drill).
A global shift is in motion right under your nose.
People EVERYWHERE seek a new way to live.
(You only have to get on a few calls to realize).
But here’s the best part…
We all have a role to play.
Your first mission
At 6 months old I lost my vision.
Every morning I wake up.
The world is a blur.
I got a second chance.
Pop a piece of plastic in each eye.
The whole world is restored.
It explains my obsession.

I was 30 minutes late to collect my pizza.
My son wanted to ride his 'motorbike' the whole way.
(About 1km)
...and he did!
Every day is an adventure.
It's all a matter of perspective.
Creators are dropping like flies, let me tell you why
I’ve been on calls with 10+ creators in the past week
One thing is clear:
Times are hard
Reach is at an all time low and everyone is suffering
50%+ are questioning whether to continue
But personally, quitting hasn’t
Stress and struggle seem normal.
They've become so widespread.
But swimming upstream is a choice.
What if there's a path that is uniquely yours?
And all you have to do is find it.
If life feels like crap, STOP.
A higher you is asking you to listen.
Asking you to level-up.
Asking you to change.
THIS can be an adventure.
(I didn't say easy)
But fun...?
ABSO-FKN-LUTELY.
You didn't choose to be born.
You don't owe anyone anything.
So show yourself
Some accounts are so wrapped up in building authority that they'll criticize anything.
• platitudes
• longforms
• breathing
What's left?
Just do you.
PS. Does this make me one of them?
You feel lost, you feel stuck.
But you have your own unique set skills & passions.
Nobody can compete with your combination.
All that's left is to discover it.
And find your way to let it out.
