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 was inspired by Chris Williamson’s Christmas episode of Modern Wisdom, where he and a few friends share their favorite “hacks” from the year. While I was listening, I started making my own list in my head, then decided to write it out and even record a video, hoping to put you on to at least one new company or idea for the new year.

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.” -Herman Hesse When I opened my O-p-e-n app to use the timer for my morning meditation, I was greeted by this quote from Herman Hesse. It’s a great quote as we continue to prepare for a new year, which can act as a great time to make changes–a fresh start with the new year. But the quote's message isn’t the only reason I shared it. If you remember, yesterday I wrote about re-reading Siddhartha and shared a few...
