the Weekly Note Vol. 38


Happy Sunday!!

I hope you had a great week! As you'll read in this week's Notes, it was a big week for me and my Pursuit. I'll share more details as time goes on because I think my journey has a lot of valuable lessons and examples of guidance from the Universe that may be helpful in your Pursuit.

I've enjoyed dropping episodes of LifeDesign+ every Thursday for most of the year, but I've decided, at least for the short term, to focus on quality over quantity when it comes to new episodes. So, I may not be dropping a new episode every Thursday, but I will continue to look for great guests, meaningful topics, and impactful conversations so when I do drop, you know it's one not to miss--I'll keep the release date Thursdays and will always give you a heads up in the Weekly Note before the new episode.

This week, I had a chance to catch up with a couple of friends from Resolve Asset Management on their podcast Resolve Riffs. They were kind enough to have me on to talk about the authentic life, the importance of the alignment of spirit, mind, body and money, and more. This was a great conversation because Mike and Rodrigo understand where I'm coming from, as they have had similar experiences leading to similar beliefs.

I hope you enjoy this conversation--don't forget to give it a like if you check it out; I'm hoping it is one of their most "liked" episodes!

I've recommended Dr. Doty's book, Mind Magic, before and I had to share this podcast episode with you; I've listened to a few of his recent interviews, and I found this one to be the most enjoyable.

As I listened to Dr. Doty and Mel discuss manifestation, the science behind it, and our mind's ability to create the life we want to live, I couldn't help but smile. You see, somehow, I've known this stuff--I've lived it and used it without ever being taught it, and it wasn't until recently that I began to read more about these ideas and beliefs I've always had.

Your ability to create the visualizations and maintain the mindset necessary to live your authentic life is only a part of the equation, but it's an important one and becomes more accessible the more you do it.

👕 the fall '24 PRST drop has closed!

Well, it's closed to non-Weekly PRST subscribers. I'll be placing the orders to get the hoodies, t-shirts, and hats made Monday, so you still have a few more hours to lock in your order.

Thank you to everyone who purchase in this drop---I appreciate your support in the early days of the PRST brand, which will be a bigger brand in the future.

​If you haven't snagged your order yet, there's still time!​

See you next week (or tomorrow) and keep pursuing,

JC

I’ve had the fortune of spending the last couple of days in Asheville, North Carolina staying on the Biltmore Estate. I’m not usually a history buff, but the property and the story of it is so impressive. When I listened to the story of how George Vanderbilt had the massive estate built, all I could think about was how delusional he was—in a positive way. I’ve written about how the outside world may see us as delusional as we pursue our Authentic Lives. Can you imagine what people thought...

I know that hip-hop has the reputation of being music with less than positive lyrics and topics—and the language bothers a lot of people. The reality is yes, there are those songs, but there are also a ton of songs with inspiring lyrics based on the experience of the artist. I am convinced a contributor to my self-confidence is listening to hip-hop my entire life. I was able to separate out the drugs, gang, violence, and the other topics that the public associates the genre with and focus on...

“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.” -Paulo Coehlo I know this. I’ve experienced this. I’ve helped others experience this. My life’s work is to help more people realize this, believe this, and then experience it. And it is so frustrating to see so many people not believe that they can achieve what they dream. And it’s even more frustrating to see so many people not even know what they want to dream. Don’t let others' (or society's) narratives keep you...
