I have waited 110 episodes to share this information with you...

Tomorrow at 5:15 PM EST I am going live to share the story behind the conception of the Duality of Gratitude and Ambition, and the truth of how it works among all of the highest performers in the world.

I will dive deeper into my personal story than ever before, and sharing something special...

I’ve interviewed 50+ top creators, entrepreneurs, thinkers, and leaders.

Some were millionaires.
Some had hundreds of thousands of followers.
Some were bestselling authors.
Some had been through hell and back.

But every single one taught me the same lesson:

**Fulfillment beats achievement.**

Not one of them said,
“I’m happiest because I hit a revenue goal.”
Or
“Everything changed when I got X followers.”

Instead, they talked about alignment.
Doing the work that feels honest.
Chasing dreams that actually mean something.
Serving people. Creating with purpose. Showing up fully.

I’m 18.
I’m building a podcast, running a coaching brand, and leading marketing at a startup.

But I’m not doing it to look successful.
I’m doing it to feel *alive*.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from every guest I’ve had on *The Grateful Podcast*, it’s this:

**You can have everything and still be empty if you’re not living in alignment.**

So today, I’m doubling down.
On meaningful work. On real connection. On building a life that feels good on the *inside*, not just the outside.

I’ll be sharing more of that here on LinkedIn — the real stuff.

Let’s connect if you’re on the same path.

What’s one thing you’re doing this year that’s 100% aligned with who you are?

Tomorrow morning, I am dropping a SUPER big episode with Jonathan Goodman: 11-time author, owner of three multi-million dollar companies, and advocate on trustworthy and personal business growth techniques. If you want to know how to make money on your dreams, this is the episode for you.

I am giving away two copies of Jonathan's newest (and absolutely fantastic) book: The Obvious Choice. You will hear us talk about it in the podcast, so I won't dive too deep into what it is here. Just know, if you are looking to create the life you want to live, his book is far more likely to help you than any gurus on Tiktok or instagram (besides him and maybe Alex Hormozi of course).

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the episode.

I'm super excited to release this episode with Nick Pollard. People-pleasing has been a tough habit to break in my life, and I know I am not the only one. Nick is the absolute best at breaking this habit. He has helped billionaires, celebrities, and many regular people just like you and me break this same habit. If you want to learn how to put yourself first and start saying NO to things that don't bring value to your life, check out this episode.

Passion will make you rich, but being rich won’t make you passionate. A high net worth doesn’t guarantee your happiness, but spending every day doing something that lights you up and adds value to your life is as close to a guarantee as you will find.

Check out the new episode of The Grateful Podcast where I talk about the data behind making more money when you do what you love.

Humans instinctively defend their point of view, attaching to it with a bias that assumes they are right.

If you want to grow, you have to overcome that. What if you’re wrong?

There are smarter people whose ideas you’re rejecting because your ego is in the way.
