I create digital products, build systems for optimization, and share insights on AI, high performance, and longevity.

For years, my work has focused on helping people work smarter. But true optimization isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about longevity, energy, and sustaining peak performance.

That’s why I launched longer, a weekly newsletter that simplifies longevity science for people who want to stay sharp, energized, and successful—without the noise.

What’s happened so far:
→ 20M+ social media impressions in the last year
→ 60K+ people follow my insights on AI, longevity, and high performance
→ A growing community applying these ideas to work, health, and life

I’ve also invested in companies in emerging markets, always looking at what’s next in innovation and long-term impact.

My focus is on systems that improve how we work, think, and live—not just today, but for the long run.

Energy isn’t built in the morning.
It’s built the night before.

Most people chase the “perfect” morning routine.

But your 6am energy is already decided at 10pm the night before.

Here’s why:

1. Sleep isn’t just hours. It’s quality.
↳ Blue light from late-night screens tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime.
You get 7 hours of sleep, but 4 hours of recovery.

2. Your brain doesn’t reset at midnight.
↳ If you fall asleep thinking about unfinished tasks, your nervous system never downshifts.
You wake up tired because your brain worked overtime.

3. Decisions leak energy.
↳ Mornings get drained by “what should I wear, eat, or tackle first?”
The best operators pre-decide tomorrow’s priorities the night before.

4. Nutrition carries over.
↳ Heavy, late dinners don’t just ruin digestion. They wreck sleep quality.
What you eat at 9pm shows up in your 9am performance.

5. Recovery is a discipline, not a reward.
↳ Most treat downtime as optional.
The reality? Recovery is the hidden half of high performance.

Your morning routine matters.
But it can’t save you from poor evening habits.

Energy compounds overnight.

Protect those invisible hours, and your mornings stop feeling like a battle.

👉 What’s one evening shift that changed your mornings?

The most helpful people rarely ask,
“How can I help?”

Because by the time they do,
it’s already too late.

Consistent teams don’t rely on formal asks.
They’re built to notice early.

No tool tracks it.
But every high-functioning team has it:

✅ Pressure redistribution
✅ Emotional signal-reading
✅ Unspoken load balancing

They don’t wait for the sigh.
Or the missed deadline.
Or the quiet exit.

They act on pattern shifts
before they become problems.

Helping without being asked
isn’t a nice-to-have.
It’s a system requirement.

The best teammates:

↳ Catch things others ignore
↳ Step in before the spiral
↳ Cover gaps without keeping score

No drama.
No announcements.
Just action.

That’s what makes teams sustainable.
Not the rituals.
The reflexes.

What’s one quiet behavior that helps keep your team stable?

Getting rich is boring.
That’s why most people don’t.

It’s not yachts.
It’s not jets.
It’s not “girlboss” highlights.

It’s repetition.
It’s saying no.
It’s doing the same thing after the excitement is gone.

Most people want the idea of success.
Few want the process of it.

That’s why they bounce from hack to hack.
From business to business.
From one “new thing” to the next.

Meanwhile, the ones who win keep stacking the same boring bricks.

❌ Chasing excitement = busy, broke, burned out
✅ Embracing boredom = wealth, freedom, options

If it feels exciting, it probably won’t last.
If it feels boring, you’re probably on the right track.

Coffee won’t fix your fatigue. 
Sleepmaxxing will.

Most professionals push harder when they’re tired.
But burnout isn’t solved with more hustle.
It’s solved with better recovery.

Fake Sleepmaxxing looks like this:
❌ 5 apps tracking every stage
❌ Gadgets that overpromise
❌ Rigid routines that add stress

That isn’t rest.
That’s anxiety in disguise.

Real Sleepmaxxing is simple:
✔️ 68° room with blackout blinds
✔️ Consistent sleep and wake times
✔️ No caffeine after 2pm
✔️ A wind-down that actually sticks

Do this right and:
→ Mornings feel clearer
→ Focus lasts longer
→ Energy builds day after day

Sleepmaxxing isn’t about hacks.
It’s about designing recovery as carefully as you design your work.

Which Sleepmaxxing habit are you starting tonight?

Why Sleepmaxxing often goes wrong

Stop waiting to be rescued.
Start redesigning your setup.

We’ve been conditioned to wait for solutions:
– A better manager
– A stronger team
– A “perfect” tool

But no one is coming to fix your setup.
You have to be the one who reworks it.

Last year, I kept burning out.
Not from lack of effort.
But from systems that didn’t support how I work.

Everything felt urgent.
Nothing felt effective.

I wasn’t broken.
But my workflow was.

So I rebuilt it from the ground up:
✅ Morning blocks for deep work (before the noise)
✅ No meetings before 11am
✅ A shutdown ritual at 5pm, non-negotiable
✅ Weekly reset: review, realign, reset
✅ One goal per week, not ten

The result?
More focus. Less friction.
Energy that actually lasted past 2pm.

This isn’t about motivation.
It’s about mechanics.

High performers aren’t stronger.
They’re just better architects.

Your structure either supports your goals.
Or slowly destroys them.

So if your workday keeps falling apart…
It’s not a you problem.
It’s a design problem.

Rebuild accordingly.

What’s one part of your setup that you need to rewire right now?

I used to nap at work.

Not a quick nap.
Not 10 minutes.

A full hour.

Once in a while, when my boss was gone, I’d head into his office.
Lights off.
Air conditioning blasting.
Shades down.

And then I’d lie on his couch like it was my personal recovery protocol.

When I woke up, I was sharper than ever.
Emails done in half the time.
Projects finished early.

Research shows even a 30-minute nap can improve alertness by 34%.

Imagine what a full hour did.

Most people chase late-night grind.
I chase early-day momentum.

Because strong mornings beat tired nights.

Here’s what makes a difference for me:
✅ Sleep window → same bedtime and wake time to lock the rhythm
✅ Morning sunlight → outside up to 20 min to ground yourself and anchor energy
✅ Movement first → light workout or stretch to wake the body
✅ Protein breakfast → fuels focus without the crash
✅ Cold rinse → fast alertness, no coffee needed
✅ First 3 hours = deep work → no calls, no meetings, just output

I don’t see mornings as routine.
I see them as leverage.

Better mornings = more momentum.
More momentum = more output.
More output = more results.

You’re not broken.
You just weren’t trusted.

Think back to the times you felt stuck, hesitant, or small.
Chances are, it wasn’t a lack of talent.
It was a lack of trust.

Because here’s the truth:
People who feel trusted will always rise higher than those who are controlled.

When trust is present:
↳ You move faster because you’re not waiting for approval
↳ You take risks because failure isn’t punished
↳ You grow sharper because ownership is real

When trust is absent:
↳ You second-guess every choice
↳ You play it safe
↳ You shrink to fit the expectations around you

The difference compounds.

Over time, trust builds leaders.
Control builds compliance.

So if you’ve ever wondered why you thrived in one environment but withered in another
It wasn’t about your ability.
It was about the conditions.

And the next step is simple:
Find the places, and the people, where trust isn’t withheld.

That’s where you’ll rise.

Meet Chris Hemsworth.

Most people know him as Thor.
But his biggest move wasn’t on screen.
It was building a $100M+ wellness brand.

10 years ago, he could have coasted on Marvel checks.
Instead, he bet on a different narrative:
↳ Health, performance, and longevity.

Here’s the leverage ladder he used:

1. Turn success into a platform
⭕️ Thor made him a global star.
↳ Instead of just chasing roles, he built a megaphone for wellness.

2. Use the platform to reach millions
⭕️ Limitless on Disney+ was not just entertainment.
↳ It showed science like fasting, stress training, and cold exposure to a mass audience.
Curiosity turned into credibility.

3. Build assets around the movement
⭕️ Centr, his fitness and wellness app, turned fans into paying subscribers.
↳ From one-time attention to recurring revenue.

This proves you don’t need to follow the Hollywood playbook.
You need to follow 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Turn whatever success you have into a platform
Step 2: Use that platform to reach a bigger audience
Step 3: Build assets that outlast attention

Every step de-risks the next one.

That’s how you turn fame into a lasting business.

Most people chase inbox zero.
I chase brain clarity.

Because clear thinking > cleared emails.

Here’s what makes a difference for me:
✅ Daily walks → 7,000 steps min to reset stress and spark ideas
✅ Short meditation → 5–10 min to quiet noise, boost focus
✅ Deep work block → 90 min with Brain.fm
✅ Small brain hacks → brushing teeth with opposite hand, changing routines to stay sharp
✅ Decaf coffee and tea → smoother energy without crash
✅ No endless tabs → one screen, one task at a time

I don’t see clarity as optional.
I see it as the foundation for decisions, strategy, and results.

Clear brain = better choices.
Better choices = better work.
Better work = better outcomes.

Motivation is optional.
Systems aren’t.

High-performers don’t feel like it every day.
They just don’t need to.

Because their routine does the heavy lifting.

The mistake?
Waiting to “feel ready” before doing hard things.

That’s how you stay stuck in:
– All-or-nothing energy
– Burnout cycles
– Wasted mornings

I’ve been there.

So I flipped the script:
✅ Set 3 fixed work blocks per day
✅ Use tools like Brain fm to lock into focus
✅ Switch your phone to greyscale to avoid mindless scrolling
✅ Hit 7,000–10,000 steps a day, 5 days a week — no excuses
✅ Check tomorrow’s schedule at the end of today

None of this relies on willpower.

It’s a system that makes the right thing easier to do.

Because performance isn’t about hype.
It’s about structure.

The more automatic your routine,
The less energy you waste “deciding.”

You don’t need to be motivated.
You need a design that works when you’re not.

What’s one system that makes your day easier?

$250M went into one bet.
That your health advice is all wrong.

Most people think wellness is about shelf supplements and generic tips.

But this company built something different:
↳ Tests that read your biology and turn it into personal plans.

That shifted the story from “buy this pill” to “this pill was built for you.”

3 moves stand out:

1. They reframed the problem.
⭕️ The market saw “wellness products.”
↳ They pointed to flawed, one-size-fits-all advice.
Change the frame → change the opportunity.

2. They sold outcomes, not hype.
❌ Generic supplements sound the same.
✅ Test-driven results feel different.
People weren’t buying capsules.
They were buying “for me, not for everyone.”

3. They invested before the demand.
↳ $250M+ raised across rounds
↳ Partnerships with Mayo Clinic and GSK
Scale and credibility became their moat.

Most companies fight to sell you what’s already on the shelf.
The ones that last build a new shelf.

Would you try a product made only for your body?
