Thursdays are the absolute worst day for holidays because you have to return to work the very next day, creating a disjointed break that feels unsatisfying and disruptive to the normal workflow.

• Holidays should be celebrated on their actual date but observed on Fridays to create long weekends
• Thanksgiving's scheduling on the fourth Thursday of November is unnecessarily confusing and arbitrary 
• Working for a few days, having a midweek holiday, then returning to work creates a psychological "second Monday" effect
• The ideal solution would be to keep Monday and Friday holidays as they are, but shift Tuesday-Thursday holidays to Fridays
• Consistency in holiday scheduling would create more meaningful breaks that connect with weekends

Check me out! I'm Benja Welldone. Peace.

Comedy requires constant evolution—you're either improving or declining, with no middle ground. I approach stand-up like an explorer seeking uncharted territory, always looking for bigger venues and unconventional spaces where comedy hasn't been performed before.

• Need to level up my comedy career within the next 2-4 weeks by recording a new set at TK's
• Planning to create a laser-tight 15-minute performance to use for promotional content
• Will use new videos to pursue bigger opportunities and replace my year-old promotional material
• Setting specific deadlines creates accountability and helps get me "in the zone"
• Career growth is multidirectional—like climbing stairs, moving both upward and forward

Thanks to all my listeners and followers, even the haters—I appreciate your support as I continue this journey. Check out my content for more updates on this next chapter.

Forget everything you think you know about mental health awareness months. This raw, unfiltered take cuts through the noise to deliver hard truths about what real mental strength looks like. 

Mental fortitude isn't built through sympathy or designated calendar dates—it's forged through daily discipline, controlled chaos, and relentless self-improvement. Drawing from military examples like Navy SEAL training, we explore why physical prowess means nothing without mental toughness, and why some of the strongest athletes fail BUD/S while seemingly average candidates succeed.

The path to genuine mental strength follows a simple but demanding formula: become 1% better every day. After 100 days, you're 100% improved. This compound effect transforms ordinary people into extraordinary ones. Physical training—boxing, jiu-jitsu, pushing your body to its limits—isn't just about building muscle; it's about developing the mental calluses that carry you through life's toughest moments.

Like Mike Tyson's fighting style, true mental resilience comes from controlled chaos rather than perfect calm. And just as airplane safety instructions direct you to secure your own oxygen mask before helping others, you must build your own strength before attempting to support those around you. The strongest among us don't seek validation or permission; they make decisions, learn from them, and keep moving forward.

Two years from now, you should be able to look back at your current self and recognize how much stronger you've become. That's not just mental health—that's the warrior mindset that separates the strong from the weak. Subscribe now to continue the journey toward becoming the savage you were meant to be.

I'm thrilled to share my sooj to be experience seeing Wu-Tang Clan live at Dickies Arena with backstage passes and front row seating.

• Wu-Tang Clan and Queen are my favorite musical groups because of their unique ensemble approach and range
• The Hulu series "Wu-Tang: An American Saga" reveals how nine rivals from different parts of New York created something extraordinary
• Wu-Tang's dedication was so extreme they once broke into a radio station to force a DJ to play their music
• Their innovation includes sampling metal pipes against trash cans and incorporating kung fu into hip-hop
• The group's collective energy is like "bees in a hive" - moving as one organism while maintaining individual brilliance
• My next goal is performing comedy at Dickies Arena

Wu Tang forever.

A quarter-million dollars slipped through my fingers, and oddly enough, I'm grateful for it. When Newsmax went public, I had planned to invest $10,000 at the initial $10 per share price. Just 48 hours later, those shares hit $250 each – a potential $250,000 windfall lost because I was "too busy." Yet this missed opportunity became the catalyst for my renewed commitment to stock trading.

• The stock price of Newsmax rose from $10 to $250 per share in just two days
• Our education system fails to teach crucial financial literacy skills like stock market investing
• Understanding candlestick charts is like learning a language that can help you make money
• Platforms like TD Ameritrade's Thinkorswim offer paper trading to practice without risk
• Anyone can potentially start with just $1,000 and grow it substantially through consistent trading
• Making small, regular profits can eventually provide enough income to live on
• Taking control of your investments puts your financial future in your own hands

I've decided to stop being a consumer and start being a producer, flipping the switch to become a money-making machine instead of constantly buying things I don't need. This mindset shift has transformed my relationship with money, helping me prioritize experiences over stuff and break free from the endless cycle of consumption.

• Questioning how many shirts, jeans, or other items one person actually needs
• Stopping the replacement of things that are still perfectly functional
• Distinguishing between being a saver (who does nothing with money) and a producer (who generates money for meaningful use)
• Breaking the habit of buying things like it's an addiction
• Conducting a personal audit of spending habits to identify unnecessary purchases
• Choosing experiences like travel over accumulating more possessions
• Recognizing that many people own luxury items worth more than they have in their bank accounts

I explore the connection between faith and creativity, sharing my belief that unexpected inspiration comes directly from God. My personal experiences as a comedian have shown me that our greatest creative breakthroughs often arrive when we stop forcing ideas and remain open to divine guidance.

• When good ideas appear unexpectedly, I believe they come from God
• Using your gift brings you spiritually closer to its source
• Working on a God-given talent is a way of honoring and celebrating Him
• Inspiration often arrives when we loosen our grip and stop forcing ideas
• The courage to share your gifts with others is a compliment to their source
• Creative breakthroughs feel different from logical, step-by-step progression
• Recently experienced a major breakthrough after 2.5 weeks of writer's block

The psychology behind why we value certain things more than others often defies conventional wisdom. Through a fascinating personal experiment, I discovered how raising the price of a TV I was selling dramatically increased buyer interest overnight. After listing a nearly-new television at $400—less than half its sale price—I received zero inquiries for days. On a whim, I increased the price, and suddenly received twelve offers. This counterintuitive result perfectly illustrates how humans equate higher prices with higher value, even when we intellectually know an item's actual worth.

This principle extends far beyond consumer transactions. As the saying goes, "everything in life is sales." Whether you're trying to impress someone romantically, convince colleagues in a business meeting, or promote your ideas, you're essentially selling something—your personality, your perspective, your expertise. The mindset we adopt in these situations dramatically affects our success rate. When we frame our goal as "selling" rather than merely "convincing," we naturally become more passionate, charismatic, and determined.

Language powerfully shapes our thoughts and actions. The words we choose create different psychological frameworks that manifest in our behavior and outcomes. Like wrestlers who approach matches as "fights" to boost their aggression and performance, the terminology we use can transform our effectiveness in any situation. This phenomenon explains why things that appear exclusive or difficult to obtain become instantly more desirable. Our minds interpret higher prices or greater barriers as indicators of superior value—which explains why raising prices can sometimes attract more buyers than lowering them. Have you noticed this pattern in your own experiences? I'd love to hear how price psychology has affected your decisions or business strategies!

Have you ever experienced that magical moment when time seems to stop because you're completely immersed in something you love? That's exactly what I explore in this deeply personal reflection on passion.

There's something transcendent about loving not just the results, but the entire process of an activity. For me, it happens when I'm writing comedy late at night—from the initial spark of an idea to perfecting the delivery and timing, right through to that perfect moment when the audience erupts in laughter. It's one of the greatest feelings in the universe.

But what makes this exploration particularly interesting is the concept of "jumping railroad tracks" between different passions. When I rotate from comedy to martial arts like jiu-jitsu and judo, something fascinating happens. The physical demands of mastering an Uchimata throw or perfecting a takedown technique give my creative mind space to breathe while still engaging deeply with something meaningful. This mental toggle allows ideas to marinate subconsciously while I'm focused elsewhere—creating a powerful synergy between seemingly unrelated pursuits.

Whether it's the rush of landing a joke perfectly or the satisfaction of executing a martial arts technique that just clicked, these moments reveal what true passion feels like. It's comparable to how a bird might feel in flight or a dedicated runner lacing up their shoes—there's something almost spiritual in it. By documenting these reflections, I'm creating stronger mental imprints that will guide future creative pursuits while hopefully inspiring you to identify and pursue your own passions. What railroad tracks do you jump between? Whatever brings that feeling of complete immersion, get after it—it's one of life's greatest gifts.

The journey to a purple belt in jiu-jitsu represents far more than just time on the mats—it's about dedication, passion, and finding your path across different training environments. After starting at Travis's in Fort Worth, then training at Marcelo Garcia's, and finally finding my home at Team Silverback, I've reached this significant milestone that sits at the halfway point between white belt beginnings and black belt mastery.

My martial arts journey has become deeply intertwined with my identity as both a comedian and a veteran. The warrior spirit that drives me to master jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and judo techniques complements rather than competes with my comedy career. When you're trying to prevent someone from choking you or throwing you to the ground, your mind can't wander to joke structures or punchlines—you're fully present in the moment. This mental break actually strengthens my comedy by allowing my subconscious to work while my conscious mind focuses elsewhere.

There's profound wisdom in balancing passionate pursuits. Moving between creative endeavors and physical challenges creates a therapeutic rhythm that enhances mental health. Just as weightlifting forces you to focus on not dropping a heavy barbell, martial arts demands complete awareness—except the "weight" is actively trying to submit you! This requirement for total presence functions as a form of moving meditation, temporarily freeing you from the thought patterns that might otherwise dominate your mind. Whether you're a comedian, veteran, or someone seeking balance, finding complementary passions might be the key to thriving in both. Want to discover what martial arts or finding your own balanced passions could do for you? Follow along as I continue sharing insights from both the comedy stage and the training mats.
