“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”
- St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator
Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album. It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here. We just need to find it within and let it shine. JC |

My friend Tyrone Ross is the most disciplined person I know. 25,000 steps, daily. Pull-ups, kettlebells, and sprints, daily. Clean eating, daily (except for Friday cupcakes). Giving to those in need while on his walks, daily. He never misses. And every day on Instagram, he has at least one post that reminds us that he is and encourages others to be “violently disciplined.” Note: For those who do not know Tyrone, he’s not actually suggesting to BE violent; he’s just using the adjective to...
I’ve been wanting to write something along the lines of today’s Note for a while now. There are headlines I see all the time, especially since I’m in the world of finance, that contain some truths but also carry a negative, limiting, scarcity mindset and a controlling undertone: “Gen-Z And Millennials Can’t Afford Homes” “Why Millennials Are Facing The Scariest Financial Future Of Any Generation Since The Great Depression.” “The Data Is In: Gen Z Face A More Competitive Job Market Than Their...
