I’m writing right now

Should I write about how I’m feeling or should I write about a cool ideology that could be cool to share.

I reach for the latter almost every time and I know why. It’s confronting to assess your life. It’s easy to write about another problem outside of you.

But as I think about it, the way we can truly make someone feel something is by educating through story telling. Making someone feel connected to you and the story, not just the story itself.

So, ultimately, if I sit with the hard question to answer “how am I feeling”, I will be able to come up with a relevant, cool ideology that will educate and make great impact well beyond just an ideology without context.

Mmm. Interesting. So if I ever write about something that has nothing to do with me, I am either genuinely curious about the specific topic, or I’m just dodging the introspection to avoid confrontation with self.

So in light of that, how am I feeling?

Well, to be frank, in America I feel irrelevant. Hunter McIntyre warned me of this he said word for word “You’re the big dog here in Australia. You’re comfortable. You’re gonna go to Austin and be at the bottom of the totem pole, you’re gonna have to climb up, you’re gonna have to gain peoples respect and fight for attention.”

It’s a different league here, no one cares about my massive Australian podcast. And to be frank, I don’t blame them.

Now the reason I feel this way is because my goal is to grow. I’ve chosen to enter a new league that I’m at the bottom of. I want to get A-list celebrities and massive house hold names on my show. At the moment, they don’t have a reason to come on my show. So I’m putting my skills to the test, I’m getting creative and doing new things that no one has done to stand out and be seen.

And it’s hard, I can’t lie. But that’s the best part. There are very few at the top for a reason. Its. Not. Easy.

I love the Alex Hormozi quote: “I get happier about the harder it is because I know far less will follow”

How exciting is going down a path that’s challenging. The harder it is, the greater the reward, the greater the feeling once you make it out the other side.

And that’s what life is all about. Fuck yes. Invite the harder route, embody it and work so damn hard towards your goals that you develop a delusional confidence that you will achieve them, time is just catching up.

People shoot down confidence but I think it is the biggest super power. Don’t get confidence confused with ego.

Confidence says: “I know who I am, and I’m okay if you don’t.”

Ego says: “I need you to see how great I am, so I can believe it too.”

Confidence doesn’t have to prove anything. Ego always does.

Walking through life with extreme confidence and zero ego is the ultimate goal.

If we can do this whilst having a purpose, have loving connection with others, a fit, healthy body, and a calm mind, that would be close to the pinnacle of the human existence.

The irony of this however, is a lot of the time confidence is a byproduct of fulfilling all of the above. It’s earned, not gifted.

So don’t complain about going through hard times. It’s the price tag to the life you dream about having.

You’ll be paying a price regardless. I guess you just need to decide what is more expensive; the challenge it takes to achieve your goals, or never even achieving them at all…

If you have made it this far into this letter, firstly, thank you. Secondly, I have a small ask for you. When the world tried to cancel me, I had a lot of trolls come in and leave me a 1 star review on Spotify. It took my podcast from a 4.9 star rating to a 4.1 start rating. If you love the podcast it would mean the world if you rated it 5 stars on Spotify to help bump the number back up.

It truely helps the show grow more than you know.

Rate show HERE.

Lots of love
