À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
I got forced to slow down, and it's the lesson I need to learn over and over again.
In this episode, I read a personal essay from my Substack about a tennis injury that took me out mid swing. One minute I'm making an incredible shot down the line, the next I'm on the ground with my knee twisted and my foot throbbing.
But this episode isn't really about the injury. It's about what happens when your body forces you to stop, and what that stillness makes you face, including grief I've been carrying since losing both of my parents.
In this episode, you'll hear…
- The moment I went down mid-shot at a tennis clinic, and the very reaction that followed (spoiler: it involved refusing to stop playing)
- Why I instinctively downplayed the injury and tried to keep going, even with blood involved
- The connection I draw between forcing my body to heal on it's own timeline

My gap year was supposed to be boring. Instead I've taken 19 flights before summer even ended, and somehow I still feel more rested than I have in years.
This episode is part of my summer read-aloud series, where I'm sharing personal essays straight from my Substack. This one's about what happened …
Have you ever had a moment so small (a bird, of all things) crack open something so much bigger about how you're living your life?
This week's episode is part of my summer series where I'm reading personal essays straight from my Substack. This one's about a very ornery bird I met on a hike in Pata…
If you started your business today, would you actually follow your own old advice? I wouldn't. And after over $9 million in sales, I'm telling you exactly why.
This isn't the first time I've tackled this topic either. Back in episode 28 (2022) and episode 186 (2024), I talked about what I'd do diff…
We've lost the plot when it comes to creating content. In this week's summer read-aloud, I share a personal essay on how my own productivity systems, batching, optimizing, and keeping up with an AI fueled content arms race, ended up killing my creativity.
So kick back, pop in your headphones, maybe…
