He Sold Minecraft and Lost the Struggle That Made Him
Markus Persson, the creator of Minecraft, sold his game to Microsoft for $2.5 billion and instantly gained the financial freedom most people dream of. But what happened next is the real story. Despite the wealth, he found himself lost—disconnected from meaning, purpose, and the struggle that once fueled him. In this episode, we dive into what Persson’s story reveals about success, why money can’t fill a deeper void, and how losing the fight can feel like losing yourself. This is a conversation about purpose, identity, and what we’re really chasing.
Special shoutout to @bradleykellard on X, who created this amazing thread that I pretty much read from for this episode.

Cringe Now, Crush Later
In this episode, I get real about what it takes to chase greatness. You don’t need to be great to start — but you do have to start to ever get great. That means embracing the awkward, the messy, the uncomfortable beginning. It’s supposed to suck before it gets good. Whether it’s launching a podcast, starting a business, or stepping into a new season of life — the key is showing up before you feel ready. Press play and let’s talk about what separates the dreamers from the doers.

Fasting Taught Me Who’s Boss
In this episode, I dive into the raw power of the mind and how mastering your thoughts can break the grip of anything that claims control over you. I share my personal journey with fasting — not as a diet, but as a discipline — and how it showed me that food doesn't control me… and neither does anything else unless I allow it. Whether it’s food, fear, doubt, addiction, or insecurity — it all starts in the mind. If you’ve ever felt like something has a hold on you, this episode will challenge you to take your power back and walk in freedom.
