Feasting Friday (Sunday Edition)
|
Hey yall, I just finished one of my favorite pieces of writing. It started as this week's Feasting Friday and turned into this. Check it out when you have 10 minutes. PS. I'm sharing a guided meditation everyday here. Come meditate with me (it's free). Song I'm Listening on RepeatI've listened to this 1000 times this week. No exaggeration. Podcast HighlightYall, I can not overstate it; this is the best podcast I have ever seen where someone steel-man's someone else idea, and then passionately critiques that idea. The subject matter is one of the most important topics of our time. If you want to see a masterclass in steel-manning, check it out. Dharma Artist HighlightMy brother Andrew self-published his first book Solution Seekers. Imagine Steven Pressfield's The War of Art but written specifically for freelancers (aka anyone trying to free themselves from working jobs that don't feed their souls). Big proud of you brother. Quote I'm Enjoying“When life gets tough, some of us feel that we’ve lost the game and life has won. But life isn’t trying to defeat you. Life isn’t even a participant—the game is yours.” |

Every week, I bring the best of what I've gathered. Enjoy the feast.
Welcome to another Feasting Friday (Monday Edition). This week's feast is brought to you by The Dharma Artist Collective; where Artist's go to focus and create.

His energy and his telling of David Wagoner's "Lost" brought me to a stillness deeper than all this week's meditating combined. Enjoy. What I am reading: "Setting God Free" by...
On the night of April 15th, 2025, after 193 days vocal chord spasms, I got my voice back for about 5 hours. It happened, of all places, at a business mastermind. Some of you may not know, but I've been co-hosting large events the last 7 years with Fit For Service. However, I have never gone to someone else's event. In all my days on this Earth, I had never gone to any mastermind or summit outside those I help create. This surprised me when I realized it a few weeks ago (what arrogance lol)....
The elevator opens and I see a man holding a boxcutter. He's flipping it open and closed as he cusses at someone through his airpods. His construction vest didn’t cover the tattoos on his sunburnt neck. We made eye contact as I passed him to get to my room. The glance was brief, but I think he could feel I thought his cursing, his volume, and his boxcutter were in bad taste. His glance back was a mildly confused hostility. An image of him lunging to cut me and my elbow breaking his nose...
