    Why friends need to be a priority in your life

    So often, paths change. We go our separate ways. We lose touch with our friends. We lose touch with the very people that care about us most. That wouldn’t want to live without us.

  • Scanning for opportunities

    Scanning for opportunities

    I hate binaries. But to some extent, I believe there are two types of people in this world. Those that scan for opportunities. And those that scan for problems. Let me tell you one thing right off the top here. Don’t be the one that scans for problems. Those are the people that always drain…

    The art of asking ‘why not?’

    One of the most powerful questions you can ask just so happens to be one of the toughest. Something we’re all afraid to ask. ‘Why not?’

    Life lessons from The Masked Singer

    If you’ve never checked out The Masked Singer, you are missing out. Not only is it a fun, feel-good show. It’s also one that constantly brings good vibes, and reminds us of the power of keeping things positive and how that can create such a special environment for everyone to excel.

    The art of exploration

    In my quest to control my faith and destiny at every turn, I don’t do well enough in the art of exploration. I need to remember that the best moments in life often come without knowing what lies on the other side. They come from unique and novel experiences that you sometimes have to seek…

  • How to reframe negative thoughts

    How to reframe negative thoughts

    In 2016, I started TheMastermindSite.com as a passion project, writing about whatever interested me at the time. Five hundred articles and five years of coaching experience later, I had created one of the biggest platforms in the tactics/analysis space, certainly by a sole proprietor. Now going on 1,200 articles, I deep-dive into how I created…

    The case for conserving energy – a lesson from Lionel Messi

    Lionel Messi is the greatest soccer player to ever live. I know all the Cristiano Ronaldo fans will be immediately turned off by this statement. But rest assured, what I’m about to write holds true for Ronaldo too. All the same lessons apply. In many ways, the likes of Messi have been afforded the ability…
