Re-upping this from Friday so everyone has a chance to nab a free copy of my book while also finding an informative, cool podcast to add to their library. Check out Mike on IG. 👇

From @david_perell "Creatives have two masters: the art and the medium. Only serve the art, and you won’t find an audience. Only serve the medium, and your work will lose its soul. It’s the dance between them that makes a successful creative."

If you're not 100% financially independent by 30, something big is wrong. Is that harsh? Yes, by design. I spoke Fri with a 28 yr old freelancer living w/parents, has a degree, car, new phone & just hangs out all day. WTF? You *must* set benchmarks or you're ignoring reality.
