And IDGAF. Here’s how.. So what happened in Canngu was that I met a guy in that cafe I always went to, Cinta, and he has an Amazon business and was encouraging me to publish ebooks. At first I was like, “No no, mine are real books”, but then the idea grew on me. I …

These past two years have been some of the most transformative of my life! It started with the crumbling of my life after surgery and radiation, deleting all my YouTube videos accidentally, and led to the epiphany that I had been striving my whole life and just had to be here now. I had no …

Already I feel like I’ve signed up for a triathlon. But I will push on and persist because that’s the kind of focused and dedicated …
Hi guys! I wanted to speak to you directly to get closer. Hi. How are you? Me? I’m o-kay. I’ve got blog fright actually. I’ve been feeling shy, self-conscious and silly. I was going to put this off for another day but I thought I’d try something different and just say what is on my …
