Tim Ferriss

Based on everything I’ve seen, a simple recipe can work: focus on what’s in front of you, design great days to create a great life, and try not to make the same mistake twice. That’s it. If you really want extra credit, try not to be a dick, and you’ll be a Voltron-level superstar. 

The secret to winning any game lies in not trying too hard. 

Feeling as though you are trying too hard indicates that your priorities, technique, focus, or mindfulness is off. Take it as a cue to reset, not to double down. And take comfort in the fact that, whenever in doubt, the answer is probably hidden in plain sight. 

What would this look like if it were easy? 

In a world where nobody really knows anything, you have the incredible freedom to continually reinvent yourself and forge new paths, no matter how strange. 

Embrace your weird self. 

There is no one right answer . . . only better questions.

“Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul’s resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.”
​— William James ​

“‘What is the secret of your serenity?’
Said the Master, ‘Wholehearted cooperation with the inevitable.’”​

Over 2 years the two focused on everything from dispatch companies to Veganism in Japan. Unfortunately, in late 2017 due to personal reasons the podcast had to end, but hope was kept high until 2018 when the two officially retired the podcast.

Host

Sage Hospitality

As a customer service representative I was the first person guests, who checked in at night, would meet. It was my duties to make sure their rooms, bags and any other needs were taken care of prior to check in. It was also my responsibility to be knowledgeable about the area and events for guests who were curious about events in town. Several times I also had the opportunity to personally chauffer guests in hotel vans and tour other hotels and learn about different business models.
