Regret bleeds deeper than failure.
Daily inaction will leave you miserable with meaningful goals unachieved, beautiful women unapproached, and life-changing potential untapped and unrealized.
Never let your un-lived lives be a source of misery.

Feeling low? This will lift you.
One simple practice with big impact.

Extroverts rely on short-term memory for quick thinking.
Introverts pull from long-term memory, making our thoughts more complex and needing time to develop.

Introverts are not necessarily shy.
We value 1 on 1 deep conversations more than group dynamics.
When conversations become superficial or chaotic, we check out.

You enjoy being alone for long periods.
Introverts can spend days or weeks without speaking to anyone and feel perfectly normal.

The brain has two key chemicals: dopamine & acetylcholine.
Dopamine gives extroverts high risks or socializing.
Introverts are sensitive to dopamine, leading to overstimulation.
We prefer acetylcholine, activated by reading, focusing, or thinking.
It makes us feel safe and mentally sound.

You are rapidly drained by social interaction.
Extroverts think they’re introverts after a long day of socializing.
Introverts are drained after just 2 hours—on a good day.
Solitude helps us reflect, reconnect with our thoughts, and recharge.

In the 1960s, psychologist Hans Eysenck expanded Jung's ideas.
He argued the key difference lies in how we recharge:
• Extroverts recharge through socializing
• Introverts recharge through solitude

Introversion & extroversion were first coined by Carl Jung in the 1920s.
According to Jung, an extrovert seeks stimulation from the outside world. An introvert turns their energy inward.
Jung believed no one is 100% extroverted or introverted. We carry both traits.

Now I'm glad to be back in Canada for a while building my ghostwriting agency.
Why?
Because this business is the reason I've been able to travel in the first place.
8-10 months of building. 2-4 months of travel is my sweet spot.

I love traveling. Travel truly changes you.
Not just because of what you see, but because of how it makes you see your own world differently & opens your perspective to appreciate different cultures.

6/ Instead of corporate supermarkets like the west...
Local produce was everywhere.
One store for bread. One for meat. One for fruits and veggies.
All fresh. Few chemicals or GMOs.
Shopping became a daily ritual, a connection to the community that brought everyone together.

5/ Spain felt like stepping back 50 years.
The history was so rich, woven into every street, building, and daily routine.
Cobblestone alleys led to centuries-old bakeries passed through generations.
It felt timeless, modern conveniences blending with a respect for the past.

4/ Forget cars and taxis. Pucallpa (in Peru) is a “tut-tut” city.
Tut-tut is basically a motorbike with a carriage attached.
I saw an entire family (2 parents + 2 kids) on a single tut-tut…with no helmets.
Safe to say nobody ever had to worry about traffic in rush hours.

3/ In Peru, I met a maestro who told me:
“There’s a plant diet for almost any illness.”
He healed his arthritis by spending 30 days sealed alone in a hut, enduring excruciating pain after drinking a specific plant.
Mother nature's pharmacy is untapped.

Btw, if you go to Cape Town, make sure to check out Virgin Active.
Easily the best gym experience I've ever had.
Amazing equipment, sauna, steam room, ice baths, and affordable healthy food.

2/ Health is a way of life in Cape town.
Biking, running, walking was alive. Everyone was fit.
Gyms were everywhere, and get this:
Government subsidizes 50% of gym memberships for citizens.
What a smart play.
Pay to keep people healthy now, spend less on healthcare later.

1/ The mix of luxury and danger in South Africa
I worked out in high-end gyms and dined in fancy spots.
But I was also aware that my life would be at risk if I wandered a few blocks down the street alone.
Seeing high cement walls around houses kept me sober.

19 days straight in the gym.
That might not sound like much, but for me, it’s everything.
I’ve struggled to stay consistent for 12 years.
So in 2025, I’m not chasing abs. I’m building habits that last a lifetime.
Beginners win by showing up, not by chasing extreme results.
