When I started this newsletter in 2021, I had one simple goal:

To share actionable ideas to help you build a high-performing, healthy, wealthy life.

I had no idea that just a few years later, that simple focus would extend to reach nearly 1 million readers around the world.

To say I'm humbled by this is something of an understatement.

But I'm not surprised by it.

Why? Well, I haven't missed a single send since I started it in May 2021. Two sends per week for all of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Three sends per week (plus a Saturday week-in-review) for all of 2025.

That's nearly 600 newsletters—without a single miss. Not for a holiday. Not for an illness. Not for anything.

I want you to know that when I talk about consistency and the power of showing up, you can trust me, because I live by it.

But let me be clear: The only reason I can do it is because I love it. I love writing this newsletter for all of you. I love wrestling with the ideas. I love seeing the impact they have on your lives.

I shared hundreds of ideas with you this year. Here were my 25 favorites.

The best ideas of 2025...

There’s an old fable I love about a villager trying to catch a monkey.

He doesn’t use force. He doesn’t set a net. He doesn’t try to chase it.

Instead, he hooks a single coconut to the side of his house, drills a small hole in it, and places a few morsels of food inside.

That evening at dusk, the monkey quietly slips into the village. It sees the coconut, smells the food, and slips its open hand into the hole.

It feels the food and grabs hold of it excitedly. But when it tries to remove its hand, it can’t.

The hole is just wide enough for an open palm, but not a clenched fist.

The stubborn monkey refuses to let go of the food—and therefore, resigns itself to its own fate.

The villager’s clever trap has worked…

My wife and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary this week.

Two years ago, I started an annual tradition of asking couples who’ve been married 40, 50, or 60+ years for their best relationship advice.

The advice they wish they could give to their younger selves.

At this point, the advice captures over 1,000 years of earned wisdom from these beautiful relationships.

Today, I’d like to share that advice (plus a few additions of my own).

This is the relationship advice everyone needs to hear…

2025 is officially coming to a close.

At the end of every year, I do two things:

1. Conduct a reflection on the current year
2. Create a plan for the coming year

I provided my reflection process in my ​​​Personal Annual Review​​​ last week.

Note: To go deeper on that process, you can download a free template ​here​​.

Today, I'll share my ​Annual Planning Guide​, which will arm you with the structure and tools you need to make 2026 your best year yet.

In 2021, as I was leaving a traditional career path to create my own, I asked a mentor for advice on the entrepreneurial journey ahead.

His response was simple:

Create things that you’d want to consume.

To be completely transparent, while that always made sense to me when it came to my writing, I never knew what it meant when it came to business.

That is, until 18 months ago, when something clicked.

Here’s the story of what happened—and the secret project that changed my life...

Last week, I read a ​research paper​ from a group of Harvard and UCLA psychologists that I can't stop thinking about.

Its title grabbed me immediately: The peculiar longevity of things not so bad.

In this piece, I share my learnings from the paper and what they mean for your life...

I started conducting a Personal Annual Review over a decade ago. It's been a life-changing exercise—one with an outsized impact on my personal and professional growth and transformation.

Today's piece shares the structure for my Personal Annual Review...

Note: I recommend downloading my free ​Annual Review PDF​ to walk through each of the questions and create space for the reflection. For those who want to go deeper and return to the exercise more regularly, I recommend ordering a copy of the ​Life Planner​.

The Domino Mindset occurs when one small negative creates a chain reaction of negative conclusions.

• "I made a mistake on this task" becomes "I'm terrible at my job"
• "That conversation felt awkward" becomes "Everyone thinks I'm weird"
• "That was a stressful commute" becomes "My morning is ruined"

The first domino tips and cascades. The small piece of evidence becomes a full story. The tiny miss becomes the defining feature...

We all want clarity. We all want a perfect line of sight from where we are to where we want to end up. The plan for the perfect career. The perfect business. The perfect relationship. The perfect whatever.

So, we wait for that clarity. We assume the perfect move will come to us. Like a blinding flash in the middle of the night. The insight. The revelation.

We tell ourselves we’ll act once we know for sure what the right move really is...
