The scariest line in Point Blanc?
“The parents couldn’t tell the difference.”
That’s what happens when you over-polish. Your real self vanishes.
This week, say something raw. Wear something flawed.
Be recognised not followed.

You don’t need one more filter, you need one more dose of reality.
We think perfection signals excellence, but often it signals fear, disguised as discipline.
Stop sanding off your edges to fit someone else's frame.
Flaws aren’t liabilities, they’re proof you’re real.

It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

In Point Blanc, Anthony Horowitz paints a world where clones replace kids, and parents don't notice.
It’s fiction, but it’s not far off from the filtered versions of ourselves we show online.

This episode unpacks the dangers of chasing flawlessness and why embracing your flaws might be the bravest thing you do today.

Life isn’t harder, it’s just too big to grasp
You’re not broken, you’re overloaded
Clarity starts by cutting what doesn’t matter

In this episode, I explore the profound concept of hyperobjects, entities so vast they surpass our understanding and how recognising their presence can lead to mental clarity. I dive deep into the idea that life’s overwhelming nature isn’t always due to complexity, but our relationship to that complexity. By reframing calmness as a conscious acceptance of chaos, this discussion becomes a guide for cultivating tranquillity in a turbulent world.

Be wary of association with the Wizard Of Wall St .... unless you are family or friends!

'The Wizard Of Wall Street & His Wealth' by Trumbull White is a biography detailing the life of Jay Gould, at one point one of the wealthiest individuals in the world. It starts from his childhood and shows how he rose from poverty in the 1800's to become one of the robber barons of the Gilded Age. Plenty of stories showcasing his ruthless underhanded dealing in business yet a calm and generous personality outside of it.
