I just turned 39! To celebrate, I’m sharing the 39 lessons I wish I’d learned sooner. Think of this as my personal cheat sheet for life: everything from why you should “choose your hard” and ask tougher questions, to why you should increase your decision-making velocity and keep your relationships a top priority. Along the way, I’ll share why I believe you should work hard before you try to work smart, the underrated power of being disliked, and how faith has fueled my own dreams. You’ll hear my take on acting now (instead of waiting for perfect timing), choosing courage over comfort, and protecting your reputation like it’s gold. For anyone looking to level up -- this one is for you.
