Know Yourself

Build Your Relationships

Real connection is foundational, not optional. Invest in people who tell you the truth and grow alongside you.

Build Your Brain

Think critically. Develop emotional intelligence. Protect your attention like it’s your most valuable asset — because it is.

Plan Your Career Strategically

Skills over titles. Network before you need it. Create things publicly.
