Consistency is a scam (and I’ve got biscuits to prove it)
|
Let me just say it: If I had a dollar for every time a bro-marketing guru barked, “Consistency is KING,” I’d have… well, enough to hire someone else to pretend to be consistent for me. Here’s a true story from literally last night: I had blocked off time to record my podcast. Mic out. Notes ready. Headphones on. Vibes: Awesome Radio Host! But then I made the mistake of sitting down on the couch for “just a second.” (If you’ve ever told yourself this lie, I see you.) Two hours later, I was still horizontal, wrapped in a blanket, eating tea biscuits, watching Highland cows on TikTok and thinking, “Damn, that one kinda looks like David!” (my Scottish friend) No podcast. No guilt either. Because here’s what else is true… It was still a productive weekend. **I met with two incredible clients. **I shot pool and didn’t turn it into a metaphor for alignment. **I mapped out pieces of my Black Friday / Cyber Monday launch. (Yes, I’m that kind of solopreneur.) So yeah, no podcast. But still showing up in ways that mattered. And that is my flavor of consistency. Not the cold, inflexible, post-3-times-a-day version that gets preached on Instagram. But the kind that’s aligned with your nervous system. The kind that ebbs and flows with your natural energy. The kind that says “I’ll record tomorrow because tonight I need carbs and cow videos.” If your consistency looks a little messy and nonlinear, welcome. You’re not behind. You’re just human. And if you want the unfiltered look at what this life actually looks like behind the curated squares? Because this path isn’t always cute. But it is magical when you make it yours.

Hey Reader Quick Question. Have you ever realized you’ve become “less active” only because your body started filing formal complaints? Yeah. Same. In the latest podcast episode, I talk about why motivation is total BS (yep, I said it) and how a tiny shift in perspective made everything feel easier. Here’s the gist: 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week = 10 hours a month = 5 days a YEAR. Five! Out of 365. And when you apply the same math to entrepreneurship? One hour a day, 5 days a week = 10...

My hands were shaky as I tried to keep hold of the phone. "Are you still there?", said my friend Julia. "yeah.... I'm still here.", I said trying to not show the shock in my voice from the news. "I'm going to get off the phone, now. I have to go to work.", I said almost surprising myself, with the abruptness. I hung up the phone and took a deep breath. I had just discovered that one of my best friends had O.D'ed just the night before. This was a shock to many that were close to him. He had...
