6min Read | Watch | Listen
Hey there Visionaries!
Picture this: It's 3PM in the PNW and already darker than your morning coffee.
The rain's doing its thing (again), and the gray skies are working overtime.
But your boy's not just surviving - I'm THRIVING.
Why? Because I just took a 36-degree lake plunge with my Cascadia brotherhood, followed by a sauna session that'd make a Finnish grandma proud!

This week’s newsletter is all about finding your light, staying connected, and leveling up—even when the world outside looks like a noir film.
Why You Should Give a Flying Fook:

Survival in Action: My Chat With Jack Spirko
Just wrapped a MIND-MELTING 2-hour session on The Survival Podcast with Jack Spirko.
Not just any podcast - we're talking the longest-running survival show in the game.
Funny story: A few weeks back, Jack was interviewing ChatGPT on his show, and I slid into his DMs like "Hey, let me show you some new tricks."
Next thing you know, we're going deep on:

Why does it matter?
Consistency is king, my friends.
Whether it’s one newsletter a month or a few posts a week, I’ve cracked the code on building workflows that make staying connected to your audience feel effortless.
