All right.
This is going to be a little bit of a different kind of video than what I usually post on my channel.
Because, as I'm sure you see in the title
I will be leaving for Mexico tomorrow.
Actually by the time you see this video I will already be in the country.
Basically that means a couple of things, first of all
you won't see any more videos of me in the forest,
at least in the near future.
And it also means that I'm going through a big life shift and that will be reflected in the channel.
So I wanted to talk a little bit about kind of how I came to this decision, why I'm doing this and
what you can potentially expect
moving forward.
This year so far I've been talking a lot about lifestyle design and
I think my message is really to take risks and
go out of your comfort zone and potentially do things in a different way
than most other people.
That is part of the reason why I'm putting myself out there and
throwing myself kind of into the unknown.
I need a change of pace, something unfamiliar, foreign, and
something that I'm not used to.
I've prepared and planned for this as much as possible
but ultimately my goal is to make a living as a digital nomad,
as somebody who's
creating content online.
And as things stand right now
I am not making enough money to make a living doing this and that's okay,
I know that this sort of thing takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of patience.
So I'm giving myself the next few months, the next four to six months potentially,
as runway to try and get off the ground with this project.
I think that my perspective with this really is that I have nothing to lose.
Yes, I have money to lose but money comes and goes in our lives.
I think
bigger than that is the fact that I might not ever have an opportunity as
amazing as the one I currently have, to do something like this.
My plan is to
document as much of this as possible
and share my experience, share my process of
trying to pull this off,
because I think there are a lot of examples of people out there that
are very successful that are amazing role models to look up to,
but it's so easy to focus on
the five percent of their career that has been the most successful,
and ignore the ninety five percent that came before it where they struggled, where they
stumbled, where they didn't know what they were doing.
And that 95 percent
is, I think well, it's 95 percent of the process.
It's important not to forget about that.
It's important not to get the wrong idea of what it takes to be successful, to chase down your dreams, and to
make something of yourself in this life.
That's the reason why I'm trying to make these videos.
I have a feeling that I have no idea what's to come.
I have no concept of the doors that I could potentially be opening for myself
by putting myself out there on the internet,
creating stuff that I care about.
I've seen enough examples of people chase their dreams and get somewhere with it
to believe that I can do that too.
I'm full of conviction.
I mean think for a second about how
incredible it is that all of us exist in this place and in this time.
This world is a playground and I
want to have that kind of childlike attitude towards life. I want to be always
experimenting and trying things out in the name of learning and growing.
So what can you expect
from this channel moving forward?
Well, definitely more of the same.
I plan to do a lot of personal experiments in my search for mental clarity and
greater productivity and a more balanced and healthy life.
I will explore food and diets more deeply,
and their link with mental clarity and how they affect me,
because I think that there's a already a ton of information out there on what you should eat and how you should eat it, but
not enough on the process.
What it is like, maybe say, going vegan,
and the emotional impact, and the social impact, and all these things that interest me.
Because food is a lot more complex than just eating.
If this project takes off
my plan is to from Mexico, select another country to spend three, four, six months and
continue that process.
If it doesn't I will have to reassess and reevaluate
where I am in life and we'll go from there.
The way I'm trying to approach this is not as like success and failure
because it's easy to frame things that way, but rather as,
again, a series of experiments.
This is an opportunity to learn and grow by myself and to just put myself out there.
No one knows what the future holds. That's the crazy insane thing.
If even just one person can predict the future think about the enormous power that they would wield over others,
but none of us do. We don't know what's coming and there's something
incredible about that.
It means, for me at least, that there is always opportunity.
There is always new possibilities that are cropping up, that are opening up, for all of us.
I think it is just our job to be as prepared for those opportunities as we can possibly be.
I'm really excited to push myself as a storyteller
and hopefully you can spend some time with me in Mexico City through my videos.
If there's one thing that I would say
it's that if you feel stuck right now, wherever you are in life,
try changing something.
Try changing the environment that you're in.
Try changing one habit.
Try changing something because change can be such an immensely powerful and positive force.
Okay, I think that's enough from me.
I've got to go back inside to finish packing.
