the big corporate lie đ¤Ľ
Gâday friends, I spent years trying to become a corporate Director. I worked long days and even weekends. I took on more responsibility. I managed high value projects with difficult clients. I had the highest sales figure of my team. But despite all of this, I was overlooked for the promotion. They hired some externally. The real kicker? I was asked to train the new director. Yes, you heard that right. I had to train the person they had hired for a role I wanted. You could not make this stuff...
the success fast lane đď¸
Gâday Gâday friends, On my flight back to Bali from Singapore, I had a realization. Success can be hacked. Now, Iâm not talking about cheap self-improvement cliches. We all know that waking up early, reading, and writing are great. But while they are necessary, they arenât sufficient. I know many self-improvement addicts whose lives are the exact same year after year. Iâm talking about real actions that produce real results. There is a slow lane to success.There is a fast lane to success. If...
I got caught cheating, ops đŚ
G'day friends, This weekend I attended a wedding in Singapore. This was a close family member that was getting married. The happy newlyweds! It was a beautiful event at one of the nicest Italian restaurants in Singapore. Over a hundred guests attended, and it was a very traditional Chinese wedding. One of the key themes of marriage is commitment. This got me thinking: Why do most people apply this marriage mindset to things that shouldn't be applied to? It's absolutely fine to get married to...
Never get stuck again đď¸
Gâday Gâday friends, Quick one from me today. Iâm flying from Bali to Singapore to celebrate a wedding. Took a Grab bike and got to the airport in 30 minutes from Canggu.

the year of brutal tech layoffs â°ď¸
Gâday Gâday friends, In 2025, Crunchbase reported there were 126,000+ tech layoffs. Massive companies such as: Intel. Google. Amazon. Verizon. Microsoft. Salesforce. Laid off staff thousands of staff despite reporting skyrocketing profits. This is insane numbers. But behind every number is a real person. This could be someoneâs daughter, uncle, mother, brother, father. (Hell, this could even be you). Someone with a real story. Someone with hopes and dreams. Someone who believed they did all...
He woke up at 2:32am⌠đ´
Gâday Gâday friends, I had a 1:1 strategy call with Mark. He woke up at 2:32am to make this 3:00am call. I was blown away when he told me this. Tired but wired I admired his dedication and commitment. Mark is a 69-year-old solopreneur. But was struggling with his positioning. He had 45+ years of work experience. Decades of getting tangible results for his clients. He built a high value network through years of accumulating trust. Heâs done the hardest part of being a business owner. But felt...
Do THIS to change your life đŞ
Gâday Gâday friends, Thereâs a book club in Bali I go to every couple of weeks. Itâs one of the best things ever. A group full of people who love books just as much as I do. Last night, we spoke about The Almanac of Naval Ravikant One of my favourite books (and people) ever. I learn SO much from this 2 hour conversation. The exploration of ideas. The telling of stories and experiences. Each member challenging each otherâs opinions. Surround yourself with the right people in the right...
I confronted my enemy⌠đ¤ş
Gâday Gâday friends, I met a guy at the gym spending over 100k+ on ads. Yes, he spends over six-figures on ads ALONE. This was an unfathomable amount of money. But this isnât a story about money or ads. I asked him: How did you learn this? He said he taught himself online. And then found someone to teach him. He moved to Dubai, did everything that guy said, and within a year got really good at running Meta ads. He developed this one high value skill. But what struck me was his drive. He...

she made 4k with 3 emails đ
Gâday G'day friends, Bianca was worried. Jan - March is a notoriously quiet period in her industry. In previous years, she would struggled to make 1k revenue during this period. She would have dip into her savings to pay for product and rent. Every year, she dreaded this period. It felt like she was barely surviving. She felt powerless to stop what everyone in her industry called a âdead periodâ. Everyone accepted this ironclad rule like physics or gravity. But I didnât believe that. I knew...
