The statement "It Is What It Is" used to really bother me because of how most people use it. How do you use it? Acceptance? Tolerance? Coping? Giving up? Hakuna Matata? However it is, I’d like to hear what you think about it.

Because you can interpret this for yourself in a way that will actually change your world.

Al is an Augmented Reality developer and designer. Now that 2021 has come to an end, we figured it was a good time to talk about resolutions and productivity. We get into some tips and tricks for being productive, some resources for you, and some discussion on those gurus that think they know shit? Does anyone know what they hell they're doing when it comes to success at anything? Does Gary Vee count?
