How I added 15lbs of muscle while staying lean
Muscle mass is a leading indicator for a healthy body
- You don’t need to bulk
- Monotonously track calories
- Or take 50 different supplements
Here’s how I took charge of my health
1) Watch what you consume
I don’t count

The reason I’m building a personal brand?
It’s not for

But because it brings purpose, long-term fulfillment

One day you’ll die
A few years later you’re a dusty pictures on a desk
A few decades later you’ll be a mere memory in someone's mind

Woke up this morning with no power.
It sucks…
Can’t do anything I’d normally do, like writing for my newsletter and building my coaching program
What can I do?
- Go to the gym
- Engage
- Read
There’s always a best choice you can make no matter your circumstance

Social media growth is ruled by one principle
Authority…
“Why should I listen to you?"
Do the thing, then tell others how YOU did it
“How to” → “How I”

Failure is the Price of Winning
You will fail many of times…
Both on a micro and macro scale
The biggest winners know how to bounce back

I committed to the gym with no

About any of it
2 years later people are asking how I did it
It’s crazy what happens when you commit to something

2 years ago I was mentally and physically unhealthy
My answer…
Become Intellectually Jacked
It only requires three habits to live a fulfilling life
- One for body
- One for mind
- One for work
The best part - Small changes will lead to massive growth
Body
It’s the start

Find your purpose, a short thread depicting a major societal issue that plagues our personal lives
Life was meant for more
Observe society, watch the path the masses walk
And walk the other direction
Pursue purpose

I began X fearing the opinions of others
Not knowing
- How to write
- What to write
- Or who to write to
Months of tweeting into the abyss
“Fear is a lake, a mile wide but an inch deep.”
Lesson…

1 hour writing → Mind
1 hour working out → Body
1 hour for personal work → Work
8 hours at a “normal” job
8 hours of sleep
It’s not for everyone, but for those up for it…
Stop blaming time as the problem
Your priorities are.

How I'd Hit 1k If I Started Over
First off, thank you all
X has been quit the journey since I began last February
11 months of
- Failure
- Iteration
- Learning
This is the time horizon we are playing on, prepare yourself for the long game
Here’s 4 lessons after hitting 1k

The greatest mission in life…
It’s not
- The shiny objects
- The dream job
- Or the lifestyle
It’s YOU
Here’s how to transform your life in 6 months

51
You need a reputation (a good one)
Put your name out there in the infinite cosmos of the internet
- Follow like minded people
- Engage with their content
- Connect in the DMs
- Hop on calls
Give, give, give
It’s not about what you receive
31

The worst thing I’ve done for growth is accepting what is
Doing nothing is the easy choice
It’s comfortable, but the pain last forever

Health 101:
Get in the gym
Eat nutrient filled food
And go to bed at a decent hour
You don’t have to be perfect, but doing this 4/7 days of the week will put you ahead of everyone else

New discovery…
A little bit of pressure is all you need
I Had a marketing assignment do in a few hours
CRUNCH TIME
Wrote the “marketing strategy” while at dinner, on my notes app, in 10 minutes

No one cares
- How tired you are
- How soar you are
- Or how you feel
Life has a few certainties
One of them…
It’s unfair
Someone "less deserving" has what you desire, but it doesn't matter
Keep on pushing.

Life has two certainties…
Highs and lows
They either fuel your ascent or fuel your descent, the choice is yours

Rest the mind with an active body

- Walk
- Workout
All great choices to maintain creativity and clarity throughout the day

One problem...
Take the first step
Walking to the gym solved my health problem
But that was only step one…
Eventually I
- Ate better
- Slept better
- And made better choices
It’s a never ending game
You don’t quit, only evolve

Knowing how to lose taught me how to win
I lost at health
- Drinking
- Eating crap
- Not working out
How did I win…
By doing the opposite
- Drink less
- Eat nutrition
- Workout daily
The solution is often easier than we think

Don’t underestimate the power in consistency
I’ve been on X for almost a year, in the gym for almost 2, and building a product for nearly 6 months
Remember you aren’t as far you you think, pay your success up front
Here’s to an amazing year

Each challenge God throws your way is a chance to prove you can acquire what he has waiting
Whether it’s in the eternal markets

What it takes to be exceptional
The bar is extraordinarily low
I work at Walmart during college breaks and recently transferred to one near my school
I walked in this Sunday
