Hi Reader,

📍 Asia this week.
​

Back in Manila — where the rice is warm, the air is thick, and my parents still treat me like I’m 12.

I flew in to surprise my mom for her birthday.
No heads-up. No warning.
Just walked into the house at 7am like a plot twist.

She lost it.
Tears. Laughter. Hugs that lingered.
One of those core memories you lock in the vault forever.

It reminded me:
Success is cool.
But showing up for the people who made you?
That’s the real flex.

​

Here's Some Inner Game Wisdom to Chew on This Week

1 question from me

What’s one assumption about your business that you’ve never challenged—but if you did, could completely change the game?​

2 questions (and answers from me)
  1. Q: What’s the simplest way to get unstuck?
    A:     Look at your to-do list and find the one thing that feels uncomfortable—but important. Do that first. Progress loves discomfort.    ​
    ​(Click to Tweet)
    ​
  2. Q: How do you decide where to invest your energy?
    A:     I ask, “What’s the one thing that makes everything else easier or irrelevant?” That’s where I double down.

3 insights

  1. The bottleneck in your business is usually you. Step back so the team can step up.

    ​
  2. Great businesses aren’t built on ideas—they’re built on execution. Show up every day and do the work.​

    ​
  3. Obsession beats balance. If you’re chasing “work-life balance,” you’re probably chasing mediocrity. Go all in on what matters most right now.​

Go All In

There are two kinds of people: dabblers and committers 💪.

Dabblers dip their toes in, try a little of this, a little of that, and hope for 80% of the results with half the effort. Committers? They dive in, head first 🏊‍♂️. No backup plans. No half-measures.

Here’s the brutal truth: nothing important in life works halfway.

  • Half trustworthy? You’re not trustworthy 🤷‍♂️
  • Kinda reliable? Nope, you’re not reliable ❌
  • Mostly consistent? You’re inconsistent 🙅‍♀️

Commitment isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing it right. When you’re all in, people notice 👀. They trust you, bet on you, and invest in you. When you’re half-in, they don’t. Why should they?

Think about it: the best relationships, careers, and businesses aren’t built on shortcuts. They’re built by people who show up every day and go all in.

Yes, committing is hard 🥵. It’s work. That’s why most people avoid it. But here’s the kicker: being half-in is even harder. It leaves you stuck—no real results, no progress, just wasted effort ⏳.

So here’s the deal: if you’re not ready to commit, step out. But if you are? Go all in 💥.

That’s where the magic happens ✨.

Brain Candy
​Tweets That Made Me Think, Laugh, or Go ‘Huh, Interesting!

The truth? You control the input 🎯, not the output.

Hard conversations = compound interest 📈. They’re tough now, but grow into trust 🤝, clarity, and growth.

Easy now, hard later…or hard now, easy later 🚀.

Hot take: Alcohol is like downloading a virus onto your operating system 🧠. You willingly lower your performance, drain your energy, and wake up with bugs you didn’t need 🤕
