“A formidable person is one who seems like they’ll get what they want, regardless of whatever obstacles are in the way.” — Paul Graham

This week’s newsletter is about becoming that person. The kind of person who sees hardship as fuel, not a roadblock. The kind of person who understands that obstacles are the great equalizer, but what you do with them is the great decider.

I talk about why hard things are actually a feature working in our advantage, and why being formidable isn’t selfish—it’s service. When you become formidable, you give permission to everyone around you to do the same.

So let’s be formidable. Not because we’re special, but because we choose to be.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
