Don't let finding the perfect name delay your dream. Pick a good one. Start. You'll face much bigger challenges after day one.

Building something meaningful is like walking through a dark forest. You can only see the next few steps. Some surprises will be amazing. Some will be painful. Most people never enter the forest. Just starting puts you ahead.

Luck favors the prepared. Opportunities come to everyone. The difference is whether you're ready when they arrive. Preparation turns luck into progress.

If you're reaching more people... Expect more criticism. The bigger your audience, the more opinions you'll attract. Hate isn't always a sign you're doing something wrong. Sometimes it's a sign people are finally paying attention. 🚀

Focus on ONE thing. Not because you lack ideas. Because your time, energy, and money are limited. Go all in on your best opportunity. Focus beats fragmentation. 🎯

Focus on ONE thing. Not because you lack ideas. Because your time, energy, and money are limited. Concentrating your resources on one winner beats spreading them across ten projects.

I keep a note on my phone called: "How I'll Spend My Next $100K." Writing it down removes emotion from money decisions. Instead of spending impulsively, I follow the plan. Create your own list.

People underestimate the power of volume. Post more. Learn faster. Improve faster. Quantity creates quality. Volume wins.

YouTube creates more internet-famous creators than any other platform. LinkedIn? Few. Instagram? Mostly existing celebrities. Twitter? A handful. Podcasts? Some. YouTube? The list is endless. If you want to build a personal brand from scratch, YouTube is hard to beat. 🎥

I keep a note on my phone called: "My Current Weaknesses." The goal isn't to fix everything. It's to become aware. Awareness is the first step to improvement. Start your own list.

Being an introvert doesn't stop you from becoming a great communicator. In fact, it gives you an advantage: • You listen more. • You pause better. • You're more relatable. Your quiet nature is a strength.

My advice to young people: Never lose your lead. While others slow down, keep building. The longer you stay consistent, the harder you become to catch.

Want better conversations? Ask the questions you wish others asked you. "What are you excited about?" "What are you grateful for?" Most people will answer... Then ask you the same question. Now the conversation becomes meaningful. 🤝

The best communication book? Practice. 15 minutes. 1 random word. 60 seconds of speaking. Do that consistently instead of just reading.

It's not the cards that are dealt, but rather how you play the hand. - Randy Pausch

If you help one person, the world will give you permission to help everyone else. - Ali Gawdat

Want to become a top 1% communicator? Do the Question Drill. Spend 5 minutes a day answering 1 question on a skill you want to improve. Most people will do it once. A few will do it twice. Less than 1% will do it 1,000 times. That's what separates the best.

I spend 100$ on a HUGE painting every year with images of my goals (vision board), so I can look at them every day. It’s the best money I spend every year.

The easiest way to practice storytelling is to do my Random Story Exercise. Ask your favorite LLM to create 100 story scenarios for you like “the first time I rode a bike” and just do 60 second speeches on every single one of them.

I started running free in-person live speaking events in Montreal because I wanted to feel more authentic on social media. It’s a lot easier to make clips of me talking on stage vs. scripting my content.
