The Mindful Creator | I talk about mindset, creativity, & content writing | Building The Mindful Creation Blueprint

I wasn’t supposed to be here.

Five and a half years ago, my life was going the other way...

I was: 

🔹Drinking every day
🔹Running from myself

And one night alcohol took my right eye in a freak accident

That was my wake-up call.

I had two choices: 

1. Keep spiraling downwards (and potentially die) 
2. Rebuild myself

I chose to rebuild.

I got sober. 

Which forced me to face the sides of myself I’d been running from. 

And in the process, I discovered something most people never realize...

Your identity shapes your whole reality. 

Who you believe you are determines what you're capable of creating. 

That lesson became the foundation of everything I do now.

When I started my consulting business...

I was in college studying audio engineering.

Just a normal guy who had to figure it out from scratch.

Since then... 

I built my consulting business to six figures organically on LinkedIn.

And I've watched my clients break through the same walls I had broken through in my own life.

Today, my mission is simple:

To help established leaders and creatives get to $20K/m by doing the inner work combined with the business work.

Because I know what it feels like to lose everything.

And I also know what it takes to build yourself back stronger.

Delusional self belief...

That's where it all started for me.

Not everyone is going to support you.

Not everyone is going to believe you can do it.

(Some people might secretly want you to fail).

One of the few things you can control though...

Is betting on yourself.

(Huge shoutout to Kelsey Schaefer for having me on Inspired Idiots. If you haven't seen what she's up to... check her out)

Helping you master → yourself, value creation, & productizing your knowledge

If what you're working on doesn't:

🔹Fire you up
🔹Get you obsessed
🔹Excite you when you wake up

You're headed in the wrong direction. 

You can think it's idealistic for me to say it.

You can even disagree...

But I know one thing for certain:

Life is too short to spend your time doing sh*t you don't care about.

I don’t want an easy life.

I want a meaningful one.

Easy now gets harder as you go.

A meaningful life is the exact opposite.

It’s hard now, but gets easier later. 

That’s the trade most people never consciously choose.

If you’re even thinking about this…

You’re already playing a different game than most people.

People who feel unfulfilled usually aren’t lazy…

They’re misaligned.

They never chased excellence in what they’re meant to do.

(Their life’s task)

So they stay stuck going through the motions.

Working on things they don’t enjoy and aren’t passionate about. 

This is why I’m so committed to chasing mastery in what I love. 

And why I believe we all need to be. 

When you remove distractions and commit to one path long enough…

Meaning and fulfillment come naturally. 

Yes, being a polymath is important.

Yes, having multiple skills is important.

But you need to go deep into 1 or 2 things.

Mastery requires it.

I never mastered my early passions as a kid.

I got above average…

Then moved onto the next thing that excited me.

Every time.

Now that I’m older, I see why.

Magic, breakdancing, basketball, rapping…

They were my training wheels.

Looking back at all those passions I was able to see similarities. 

They were all rooted in:

🔹Self-expression
🔹Technical skill
🔹Performance

And best of all they were permissionless. 

They all led me here to creating value online and productizing my knowledge. 

And now I’m chasing mastery for the first time in my life, and it feels damn good. 

So this is my reminder to you…

Yes, go wide in a bunch of things, follow your curiosity and interests.

They’ll help you realize what you need to go deep in.

In the digital age, nothing is more important than mastering:

🔹 Yourself 
🔹 Value creation
🔹 Productizing your knowledge

Yourself because there's never been more distractions.

Value creation because the internet allows everyone to build their own business. 

Productizing your knowledge because to reach as many people as possible... you need scale.

Tactics don't mean sh*t if you don't become the personal capable of getting the outcome you want.

Ever since I was a kid I was chasing mastery without even knowing it.

My first passion was magic. 

I wanted to be a magician so badly after my uncle did some magic tricks for me and my friends at one of my birthday parties. 

I would practice in front of the mirror for hours every single day after school.

Just me working on my slight of hand and all the angles. 

I even pretended my reflection was the person I was performing for. 

Then I found breakdancing when I was 10. 

It opened a whole new perspective for me on self-expression.

It was creative, technical, and performance based (just like magic).

There was always another move to learn, or another way to do a move that I’d never seen anyone else do. 

It kept me hooked. 

Then a couple years later I found my greatest love…

Basketball.

It consumed me.

And when I say consumed me… I mean I was absolutely obsessed. 

I woke up at 5 AM before school to practice.

I slept with my ball.

I trained at lunch between classes, after school…

Pretty much anytime I wasn’t eating or in class,

I was practicing. 

This has been a trend my whole life.

After basketball it was rapping…

Then 3.5 years ago, I found online entrepreneurship and never looked back. 

Here’s why I’m telling you all this…

Last year something felt off in my business.

Which is strange because the year before in 2024 I:

🔹Hit 6 figures
🔹Thought I was building my dream biz
🔹Helped a lot of people get clients on LinkedIn

So I couldn’t quite put my finger on what didn’t feel right…

All I knew was I wasn’t inspired to write content anymore.

I didn’t get fired up to start work in the morning like I did the year before. 

My obsessiveness over my craft pretty much disappeared. 

And my business took the hit. 

After a lot of self reflection and brutal honesty with myself,

I realized what happened...

Abby struggled with her writing business for 3 years before we started working together.

Before we met she:

🔹Had no strategy or repeatable systems
🔹Offered every type of copy you can think of
🔹Only signed a couple one off ‘project’ clients
🔹Didn’t feel like a business owner who ran an actual business
🔹Was ready to give up because she thought maybe it wasn’t for her

Now in less than 10 months she:

🔹Feels like a real business owner
🔹Is working with 6 clients she’s aligned with
🔹Has a specialized offer built for recurring revenue
🔹Has a system and strategy she can wake up and execute on without guessing
🔹LOVES what she does

So if you’re a leader or creative who wants mastery over 3 key areas:

💎 Yourself
💎 Value creation
💎 Productizing your knowledge

Writing about creative work and human potential

All 10 spots for the Thailand Creator Expedition are filled.

However, a new idea for 5 more people to join has emerged.

The spots filled quickly once my friends Nick Sweeney among some other Twitter writers signed up.

Also, my friend Leigh St.John, an expert meditation teacher and spiritual guide, will likely be joining us for a few days and meditation workshops.

I would love it if there were more space in the Airbnb for more people to join, but the capacity has been filled.

Maybe in the future, I’ll rent a 20-30-person mansion somewhere in the world and host a huge mastermind.

Another vision is to create a holistic community living center for creative entrepreneurs who want to raise the vibration of the planet.

But those ideas are still a bit far out (unless any investors are reading this post ;)

For now, the Thailand Retreat is most immediate.

Since all spots have been filled, but a handful of people still want to join, I have come up with a solution:

Instead of staying with us at the Airbnb, you can still join the retreat from sunrise to sunset from your own hotel, Airbnb, or lodging.

You will still have access to all 7 days of masterminds, creative work sessions, healing sessions, workouts, and any events we attend.

All you have to cover is food and lodging.

5 spots are available for this opportunity.

To join us or to chat more about this, please message me here on LinkedIn.

We would love to see you there,

Jack

Your personal mystic & performance strategist ⎸ I help founders and creatives build empires through identity expansion and mind-body-spirit alignment ⎸ Subscribe below ↓

Recently, I’ve been dressing nice and going to boujee cafes and lounges to work (instead of wearing a hoodie and sweatpants at my desk).

I'm using vintage leather journals and gold pens.

Wearing Ra Optics daylight glasses.

Working out first thing in the morning and getting clean-shaven.

Why?

Everything is downstream of your identity.

When I imagine my identity 5 years from now and visualize what I'll be wearing and where I'll be working, I see myself in nice clothes, in nice places, writing and doing high-level deals.

To bring this future vision into the now, I'm simply acting as if I were already living in that future.

The way I write...
The way I send messages...
The way I talk about my offers...

It all elevates as a result of my chosen environment and my aesthetic.

You can program yourself to unlock your next level in the same way.

Put yourself into environments where wealth and money circulate.

Dress like the person you wish to be.

Walk around and talk to people as if you were already the person you wish to be.

If you were operating 1 or 2 levels higher - or the version of you 3-5 years from now:

- How would you dress?
- Where would you work?
- What would your schedule be?
- What would you be working on?
- How would you speak to prospects?

Take these answers and embody them today.

I guarantee you'll begin to see a shift.

Former D1 football player turned writer & entrepreneur ∞ Helping entrepreneurs and high-performers achieve peak health and performance through a quantum approach ∞ 6-week Quantum Health cohort starts January 17

No alternative text description for this image

Wake up at sunrise (don't snooze)

Pound water & electrolytes

Go outside (barefoot)

Put your feet on the earth (electron absorption)

Look directly at the sun (5-10 minutes)

Brew a coffee (black)

Pop a focus stack (creatine, theanine, and taurine)

Put your phone in the toaster

Pull up your vision board

Connect to your why & mission

Outline your task-list (3-5 needle-movers)

Throw on noise-cancelling headphones & a movie soundtrack

Lock in for 240 minutes.

This is how you get more done in one morning than most people get done in a week (and feel incredible doing it).

~

I'm running a 6-week Quantum Health Reset cohort to help you get in the best physical and energetic shape of your life, beginning January 17.

10 Michael Jordan quotes you need to hear:

1) To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.

2) I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life, I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it.

3) I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot … When you think about the consequences, you will always think of the negative result.

4) Relax and never think about what’s at stake. Just think about the basketball game.

5) If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

6) If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working on it.

7) Look me in the eye. It’s ok if you’re scared. So am I. But we are scared for different reasons. I am scared of what I won’t become. And you are scared of what I could become. Look at me. I won’t let myself end where I started. I won’t let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, even if you can’t see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am.

8) Focus like a laser, not a flashlight.

9) If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.

10) I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

I love being a generalist as a coach.

No two calls look the same.

One call, we dive deep into building a funnel, a landing page, a lead magnet, a content strategy, and a marketing strategy.

Next, we go into fixing energy levels, light diet, grounding, sleep, diet, nutrition, caffeine timing, exercise, movement, flow psychology, and nootropics.

And on another, we'll analyze dreams, look at astrology and human design for clues, and talk about quantum physics and the nature of the universe.

Every person is incredibly unique.

Everyone has unique life experiences, circumstances, goals, and problems.

My aim is to use everything in my toolbox and throw "the kitchen sink" at an obstacle to help someone surmount it in a way that actually feels right for them...

No matter if they're looking to get healthier, build a personal brand, find their life's purpose, or live a life of more freedom and alignment.
