Thoughts that don’t fit in a funnel. If they make you feel something, that’s enough for me.

Please, Don’t Type the Code Yourself

Friday, May 23rd, 2025

Read time: 1 min 38 sec Ai is here. We know this. Some folks are in denial, some folks are in deep, and some folks are fully invested in virtue signaling. As a grown ass adult, if AI is equally capable of doing something for you, why wouldn’t you have AI do it for you? […]

Coffee Ice Cream

Friday, May 23rd, 2025

Read time: 1 min 7 sec Sometimes folks will DM me and ask me if I follow such and such account. The answer, 99% of the time, is no. Often I know of the person, or perhaps actually know the person, but if it has to do with online business, unless they’re my friend, I’m […]

Does it actually matter?

Tuesday, May 20th, 2025

Read time: 0 min 51 sec Things only matter as much as they matter to you. The tricky part, however, is that often times there are people who matter to you, but what matters to you might not matter to them, and vice versa, what matters to them might not matter to you.  I have […]

It’s Not That Serious

Thursday, May 15th, 2025

Read time: 1 min 7 sec Just take action. It’s not that fucking serious. I scroll through Threads (I really gotta stop going there) and hop in the comments section (I really gotta stop doing that) and I feel like all I see is a bunch of insecure nonsense. I do my best to avoid […]

I’ll Sit This Apocalypse Out

Tuesday, May 13th, 2025

Read time: 1 min 33 sec I absolutely do not want to survive a zombie apocalypse.  I’ve always said this, and with each new zombie TV show or movie that drops, that position is solidified.  Perhaps this is a spoiler for The Last of Us, so please stop reading if you are not caught up […]

Work Smarter AND Harder

Sunday, May 11th, 2025

Read time: 1 min 18 sec It’s literally not a competition between the two. It’s both/and. It’s mutually beneficial. It’s compounding. It’s symbiotic. I’m watching as the current trending topic on Threads is AI, with content creators who love the process of creating championing that process and saying it’s a shame that kids today want […]

I Don’t Want Your Money

Wednesday, May 7th, 2025

Read time: 2 min 8 sec One of the weirdest, most difficult things about being a personal brand, or more specifically, a person who is the business, aka a small business, is that people pay ME. Said the other way around, I take people’s money. Said like that, it feels bad, which is kind of […]

Streamlining Is Weird to Me

Tuesday, May 6th, 2025

Read time: 2 min 10 sec What’s the obsession with streamlining things?  It’s honestly very weird to me. An important preface to the next thought, I’m grateful for all the DMs I receive. Super grateful. But when I receive inquiries about my offers and their biggest concern is streamlining…Why? It feels like such a nebulous […]

Look Out for Yourself

Saturday, May 3rd, 2025

Read time: 1 min 55 sec Look out for yourself. This doesn’t mean that you’re not looking out for others, it simply means that you’re not expecting others to be solely responsible for your safety and well-being. I walk Moose around the block every morning. It’s a “busy” neighborhood in Redondo Beach. Adding the quotes […]

My Fight

Wednesday, April 30th, 2025

Read time: 0 min 56 sec Yesterday I was on threads and saw a post from @thenapministry promoting a book by Robin Wall Kimmerer. My first thought: Why are you promoting something through Amazon?!? You, of all people, @thenapministry, should be promoting a book distributor that isn’t an absolutely evil monster AND capitalist son of […]

Benign Transgressions

Friday, April 25th, 2025

Read time: 2 min 24 sec Perhaps the term benign transgressions is an oxymoron. I don’t know. I need to look at definition when I get back home. I’m currently talk-to-texting this as I’m walking because it’s top of mind and my heart rate is elevated.  Stop giving up your power. Stop letting little things […]

White People

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025

Read time: 0 min 49 sec I clap when I see white people standing up and doing the right thing. Not in the way that society claps for dads for doing literally anything. Sir, you are not babysitting, that is your child. I clap because my soul knows it’s the right thing. Perhaps there is […]
