3-2-1 Growth, Risk, & The One Thing We're All Chasing

Jul 28, 2025

I spent the last few weeks with some of my closest friends and family, and it reminded me of ONE thing that we’re all chasing...

1. What a privilege...

… to be tired from work you once prayed for.

… to be challenged by a life you created on purpose.

… to outgrow things you used to settle for.

… to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about.

2. What we're all chasing

Freedom.

To be able to wake up on a random Wednesday and do whatever we want, with whoever we want.

Maybe this means making more money, maybe it means something else entirely...

3. The simple formula

My biggest wins came from following my heart and taking risks.

My biggest losses came when I played it safe, scared to lose.

Hiding my love for things.

Artificially dulling my intensity.

Trying to play it cool.

You get one life. One.

And in most things, you only get one shot.

Scared it might go wrong?

What if it goes right?

Aim. Fire.

1. On Pursuit

“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.”
— Jennifer Lee

Be BOLD. I dare you.

2. On Freedom

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
— Mahatma Gandhi

I’ve taken myself to hell for certain mistakes I’ve made in my life. I don't recommend doing that. Forgive yourself. Whatever it is. Move on.

What's one thing you wish you had a second chance at? And is it really too late to try again?

P.S. Be careful working that 9-5 ;)
