Episode XVIII: Three Years After Jumpman (26)
Today, I turn 26.
“I know of no better life purpose than to perish attempting to do the impossible.” - Nietzsche

When I was twelve, I wrote myself a letter that said I wanted to be a YouTuber before it was fashionable. I didn’t understand why I wanted to make videos then, but do now.
I’ve made content on and off for years. In 2022, I made videos and blogs more consistently. They felt good, but they weren’t fully encompassing of who I am. Anything fragmented eventually collapses.
So, I stopped. Not out of fear, but out of refusal. I won’t build on something incomplete.
For years, I chose understanding over output. Observation over noise. Exploration without judgment. That practice is uncomfortable, but it forges identity. Not the performative kind, but the kind that holds under pressure.
Personality isn’t fixed. Self isn’t static. It’s an evolving form that reflects your current state. Until recently, mine was still under construction.
Now, it isn’t.
I’ve reached a point where my experience is useful beyond myself. I couldn’t say that before with confidence. Now, I won’t pretend otherwise.
The question was never whether to create. It was how to create without dilution.
I tested formats. Golf. Lifting. Writing. Each captured something true and each was insufficient because I’m not a niche. I’m a synthesis of many experiences, not just one.
So, I built a structure.
When someone encounters a person’s work, they ask consciously (or not):
1. Who are you?
2. Why should I care?
3. What is this about?
4. What do I gain?
5. Do I want more?
I reversed the lens.
1. What do you get?
Clarity. One idea at a time.
2. What is it about?
One daily video distilling a single life lesson. What it is, how it showed itself, how I learned it, how to apply it, and what it frees you from.
3. Why should you care?
Because clarity compounds; mental limits are learned and unlearned with the right perspective.
4. Who am I?
An entrepreneur committed to expanding what’s possible and proving it through action, not just explanation.
5. Do you want more?
That’s not for me to decide; I’m doing it, anyway.
This is no longer an experiment. It’s a discipline.
My only challenge now is consistency. Making what is fully me there for you is a daily habit.

I choose the impossible.
I choose to build freely.
I choose the long arc.
Legacy isn’t claimed. It’s forged by those willing to perish trying.
