They said leaving my “day job” to focus on my newsletter was risky.

You know what's actually risky?

Spending another year burnt out.

Building someone else's dream, having zero control over your schedule.

So I took the "risk."

Showed up daily, wrote even when it felt scary.

Now I'm writing this from Puerto Rico after a morning surf session, working 2-3 hours a day.

The life everyone called risky? It's the most stable thing I've ever built.
