the hippy kicked the truck driver in the nuts 🥜

I always toggled between what felt like 2 personalities.

I've now given them a name.

There's The Truck Driver.

Then, there's The Hippy.

The Truck Driver got me this far through sheer determination & hustle.

Calls. Stacked calendar. 4 hours of sleep. 4 coffees to sustain myself. High blood pressure. Clenched buttcheeks. The guy you could barely talk to. I was an annoying prick with a stick up his ass all the time.

But I made lots of money.

Cool trade off? Not this time.

Then there's The Hippy.

Long haired. The dude who studied Jazz Guitar performance in what feels like a distant life. The california soul. The guy who loves talking about Eastern culture, philosophy, running, creating and being himself.

A 1970s soul, who would probably be on a stage at Woodstock.

I led most of my 20s as The Truck Driver.

But I lead my 30s as The Hippy.

They can both co-exist. Hence the word "lead" is important.

To embrace more of my creative side, I had to build systems around my life.

And I didn't understand that I WAS THE SYSTEM for a very long time.

The reason I didn't sleep was because I had to do it all.

And I hated scaling.

So, it wasn't until I built a gameplan for myself, and created Modern Maker's 1 Post A Day Ecosystem, that life got better.

That Wednesday & Fridays added to my weekend days.

That 9AM jogs on Mondays became possible.

That swimming midday was okay.

And that... well, I became a much calmer, more in-tune, human being.

Someone who pulled, and didn't push out of sheer desperation.

It all depends in what season you're in.

And a large part of that I'm still figuring out is how to use ads more this year.

So I can be more present with family.

While the ecosystem I spent years building does what it's supposed to do.

Convert leads > customers > clients without me.

That's leverage.

In fact my clients get the best version of me because there's less of them and there's a lot more of me - present.

The reason I'm here is because I was able to give people gameplans.

Show them what they had to do, and ask if they wanted help doing the how.

Whether together, in a group, or in whatever proximity suited them best.

I'd like to give you a taste of what is here, Friend.
