When you read this book, Lisa will teach you 10 No-BS Life Lessons to become the hero of your own life and take MASSIVE bold action to achieve your potential!
What does it mean to live a good life filled with purpose? Obviously, the answer can only be personal to your individual preferences, values, and beliefs, but are you consciously deciding the quality of your life?
Ryan Holiday is a best-selling author times 10, media strategist, influential speaker, and bookstore owner. He’s best known for his writings on ancient stoic philosophy and its application for everyday life. The New York Times credited Ryan for the increasing popularity of stoicism.
In this discussion, Ryan shares his thoughts and lessons learned about how he came to see what living a good life is for him. Questioning the things you give your time and energy over is the beginning for any of us that want to unpack what we’re doing, who we’re doing it for, and how it adds value with meaning to us. It’s not enough to be a human doing any and everything without intention and clarity. Ryan points out that it's better to learn and practice what it is to just be a human “being.”
If the day to day mindless actions of work, preparing dinner, and stressing over getting more clients to increase your revenue is part of your reality, then taking this time to thing through what the right goal is for your to focus on and what you want out of life may be the most important moment in your life thus far.

By now you may be aware of bitcoin’s origin story that begins following the 2008 financial crisis. The essence of cryptocurrency continues to evolve with every new blockchain technology. It’s an innovative space being fueled with unprecedented energy. In the midst of so many innovations on blockchain, bitcoin continues to stand as a storehouse of value that no other cryptocoin has been able to compete with.
Muneeb Ali is a Pakistani computer scientist with a PhD in computer science from Princeton, co-founder and CEO of Trust Machines. He is co-founded the Stacks project, a unique programming software created to be smart contract layer that sits on top of bitcoin minus the tension. Muneeb is CEO of Hiro, a developer tooling company.
In this conversation Muneeb and Tom discuss the unique attributes that allow bitcoin to stand high above the rest and the likeliness of its usability in a practical marketplace.

So it’s safe to assume that you are likely having a biological experience. The external expectations involuntarily placed on you amount to pressure and loss of self-identity, values and beliefs. On the other hand, the internal expectations you willingly place on yourself can put you into a state of anxiety with doubts, disappointment and indecisiveness.
So take a step back from yourself for a moment and consider the number of decisions you passively make everyday while living a less than fulfilling life.
If you’re not happy with where you are, how you live, what you do, the money you make (or don’t make) and the success you wish for but never have, it comes down to indecisiveness and lack of action.
Mel Robbins is an American attorney, best selling author, motivational speaker, and straight shooter. She’s introduced two of the simplest tools anyone can use starting right now to go from autopilot to decision maker moving towards your dreams.
“I hope you have a massive a-ha moment, but it’s not going to mean shit if you don’t take action and do something about it.” This is Mel’s wish for you today. You can trick your brain to do what’s important and beat the habit loops that keep sabotaging you everyday.
It’s time for you to stop fighting for your excuses. Stop arguing against the dreams you want and wish for, and start making the decisions for better results day by day, hour by hour, and second, by second. It’s as easy as counting down, 5-4-3-2-1, and go!
