LEARN. TEACH. REPEAT.

That's my motto during this phase of life.

BUSINESS

My main business is R8r Studio. I help individuals and businesses grow through the most powerful storytelling tool on Earth: video.

On the side, I continue to run Descript Mastery. I've helped more people learn Descript than anyone else on the internet.

2025 is my third year as a full-time entrepreneur and I wake up every day fired up for what I get to do. I'm helping tons of people and I plan to do this in some form for a very long time.

SPANISH

I'm acquiring Spanish. It's been a long road but I'm feeling more comfortable each day. Poco a poco (little by little). My 2025 goal is to read one million words in Spanish and I'm doing this in part by reading the Bible (~750,000 words).

FITNESS

I'm training for my third HYROX.

For this one, I started 90 days out and am using AI as my personal trainer. Every day, it gives me a diet regimen, training plan, countdown to race day, sauna protocol, stretching routine, and other tips. It even makes me grocery shopping lists and tells me which supplements to buy.

SELF-EDUCATION

My latest experiment in self-education is implementing an Anki card routine.

I make Anki flashcards for everything I'm learning: Spanish vocabulary, geography, interesting facts, anything at all that I want to remember.

Then, every morning, I review my Anki cards.
