5 Minute Timer - Memorial Day

Writing on a 5 minute timer today

I’m going to be completely honest. I have a bit of a writers block today. But now 14(?) days into daily blog writing I know I can’t stop the streak…

Listened to a podcast today (Modern Wisdom) with Will Ahmed, the founder of Whoop. Their new product release several weeks back was incredible and I wanted to gain more perspective into Will’s mindset and personality. Great episode. They go deep into the trenches of entrepreneurship, hard work, and self-belief. Good one for the entrepreneurs who read this.

I guess to open up a little more about my life I started a sublease in Brooklyn in end of March. By April 1st, I made a strong commitment to creating video content around food. I didn’t exactly know what it would look like, but telling stories the way I want to tell it about cool food establishments.

I think a big part of continuing to create is giving myself that permission to call it “pursue the passion.” Sometimes that may mean saying no to plans or golf rounds or whatnot, but what I’ve found this little niche to truly bring me joy.

Current Inner Conflict

Random topic but I’m now a bit conflicted. My sublease is up in a week and I have a several month gap until my next lease projected to start in September.

Do I travel and just double down on content in farms and factories around the country? Do I stay put in NY and continue operating here?

There are several factors that go into this but I’m thinking a little bit of both.

I have 15 seconds left.

Make smart decisions this week. Do things that your future self will thank you for.

5 minutes is up. Have a great week everyone
