Today I want to give you a peek at where I’m headed with this newsletter.
It's critically important today to ignore the toxicity and pivot...
Dear Son,
Everything I write falls under one simple promise—I'm sharing the most valuable life hacks, mindset shifts, and wellness strategies I’ve learned along the way.
Not from a podium, but from the trenches.
If I had a son, I’d be handing him these lessons one by one, hoping to spare him a few of the bruises I took head-on.
I don’t plan to rant about politics. But I won’t ignore the world around us, either.
The latest round of Trump’s tariffs in 2025 sent shockwaves across borders, markets, and everyday lives.
You don’t need to be an economist to feel the ripple effects.
Grocery prices go up. Jobs get shakier. And governments—on both sides of the border—play games while we try to keep the lights on.
Here’s my quiet response to all that chaos: I’m doubling down on skills.
Digital ones. The kind that lets you earn a living from a laptop and a bit of Wi-Fi.
I’m talking about writing, marketing, creating simple digital products and services, and learning how to sell them ethically online.
If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of a crumbling system, I promise you—this path puts power back in your hands.
So here’s what’s coming down the road…
🟢 I’ll be learning (and sharing) marketing hacks and strategies.
🟢 I’ll be investing in smart training in the “make money online” space.
🟢 I’ll be writing about it all here—step by step, one lesson at a time.
🟢 And I’ll be keeping it 100% free for subscribers. Always.
If I had a son, I’d want him to know this:
When the world gets loud and leaders fail you, invest in yourself.
Learn how to create value.
Learn how to build something that no one can take away.
That’s the new game.
And I’m all in.
