In today's episode, I'm joined again by Arya Ika, CEO at Calm Arms. We discuss three types of struggle; self-made struggle, God-made struggle, and intentional struggle. Each struggle is a by-product of the way that we live our lives, and through living a life based in a business you're passionate about- we argue that your struggle will be something that you can get through, as well as a tool to push you to an elevated level of success. 

I briefly cover my business up to this date over the last year or so. We scaled to serve over 125 clients and did over $100k in revenue! 

I enjoy talking about business, so I will probably post more about this in the near future. 

I am excited to partner with my good friend Arya Ika, Owner & CEO of CalmArms. CalmArms is a concentration isolate that limits the movement of the elbow on bicep and tricep movement aspiring to develop the power of concentration and improve attention span. 

We partnered to discuss the journey we've had as budding entrepreneurs with the goal of sharing something that may be useful to you in your journey. 

The mind is like a Herron on the hunt. There are a million little fish swimming around the Herron, and he could easily be tempted into chasing a million little fish that will never satisfy his hunger- leaving him forever hungry. The same is true for the mind. We have a million little thoughts each day, and if we react to all of them, we'll be running in circles getting nothing of meaning accomplished.

In this episode I read an excerpt from a piece called "How Will You Measure Your Life?" by Clayton M. Christensen which was posted in the HBR (Harvard Business Review). I found this piece to be very invigorating and energizing to double down on purpose going into the New Year. Christensen discusses how many successful business people fail to consider their life purpose leading a less fulfilling life. I think that as a college student, and as Christensen suggests, it is incredibly important to consider you purpose. 

Hope you enjoy. 

I would highly encourage any young adult seeking questions about fundamental moments in their lives to listen to this podcast. I break down some of the logical fallacies surrounding growing up and the path we should take when choosing a career. I begin with the idea of Job and how rather the choosing the job with the highest pay check, we should choose the job with the highest return on happiness as it logically just makes more sense. I then transition into relationships and how you can build your inherent value and level of attraction by simply changing your mindset around what is "cool." Finally, I conclude with conversation around the utilization of your most valuable asset- time. I break down how we should increase time spent on activities that are engaging and valuable to our future and minimize time spent on tasks we have minimal interest. 

I hope you find value in this podcast. If you do, I would love to hear from you via DM, or you can share this podcast with a friend who may need it. 

After hitting the 2-year milestone with my girlfriend this past weekend, I did some reflecting and decided to share a few tips with you. Today I share 3 tips I've learned through being in a relationship the past 2 years, the #1 thing you must do to find success while dating, and how to attract the perfect 10/10 into your life. 

The world conspires to help those who know what they want.

The more specific that you can be on your goals, the easier it will be to achieve them. In this video, we suggest considering your life in 10, 15, 20, years time. Where do you want to be?

When we establish our end goal, or as I refer to it, our North Star, life becomes so much easier.
