I will be discussing mindset, philosophy, fitness, business, tech and anything else propelling me to be subjectively better. Jump on and join me for the ride!
We dive deep into why we are what we are. You must get a sense of how you operate if you are going to take control of your life. Or is seeking control a means to an end? Must we learn to sumbit to the universe? So the the real question is... what is in our control? We must know this to submit. Here in lies another paradox.
