"Throughout the 17th-19th centuries the Europeans introduced something that changed the world: The Grand Tour. Young upper-class aristocrats from the U.K. would travel across Europe to major cities such as Paris and Rome to learn more about different countries' culture music politics primarily as a way to broaden one's perspective of the world. During their tours they would document their learnings communicate with locals and bring knowledge back to improve their country and lives.

He's an absolute baller - he was working behind-the-scenes for people like @garyvee and @AlexHormozi. In the video he said a few things: Content is when you make it about other people Making things for others = conversions Find what the audience likes hammer that in Imo the hardest challenge is when you're starting out and have no idea how to stand out / go viral. There are thousands on X building in public sharing unsolicited life advice repurposing quotes."

As we're brainstorming where @youdistro is heading the BIG question we have is to answer is this: "How do we make creating content so ridiculously simple" This translates over to life as well: The reason 99% of people can't master a skill is b/c they're not willing to commit to doing something over"

It's so easy to fall in the temptation thinking: "what do I want to do" instead of "how can I best serve the world and people around me" We can live life so boxed in our own world (which isn't always a bad thing there's seasons to it) but forget there"

Young upper-class aristocrats from the U.K. would travel across Europe to major cities such as Paris and Rome to learn more about different countries' culture music politics primarily as a way to broaden one's perspective of the world. During their tours they would document their learnings communicate with locals and bring knowledge back to improve their country and lives.

He's an absolute baller - he was working behind-the-scenes for people like @garyvee and @AlexHormozi. In the video he said a few things: Content is when you make it about other people Making things for others = conversions Find what the audience likes hammer that in Imo the hardest challenge is when you're starting out and have no idea how to stand out / go viral.

As we're brainstorming where @youdistro is heading the BIG question we have is to answer is this: "How do we make creating content so ridiculously simple" This translates over to life as well: The reason 99% of people can't master a skill is b/c they're not willing to commit to doing something over"

"A brief glimpse into my life: It's [--] p.m. I write this from my new home my dorm room in Singapore. The beginning of studying abroad is always the most special. You arrive into a place completely alone. Doubts creep in. Fear. Uncertainty. The one question in my mind: "Will I find a home here" Everything feels unfamiliar. However I know when it's time to leave [--] months from now I'll look at this place in a very different light. What a perplexing journey this is the journey from unfamiliarity to home. But that's what I love the most about being abroad. Because by the end of it I'll be leaving"

"1/19/25 11:24 p.m I'm [--] week deep into my 2nd abroad here in Singapore :). I took a week off from social media and had time to think what my next big moves in life will be. There's this one quote stuck in my mind @calebsloop shared a few weeks back: The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the worlds deep hunger meet. It's so easy to fall in the temptation thinking: "what do I want to do" instead of "how can I best serve the world and people around me" We can live life so boxed in our own world (which isn't always a bad thing there's seasons to it) but forget there"

"Sometimes I forget. That the life I've dreamt of [--] years ago. I'm living it right now. It's been [--] weeks at Singapore. I've been so caught up on whether I could replicate the same magic I've experienced during my 1st abroad in Beijing. I doubted. I was worried. Would I find friends Would I find home Was the first time a total fluke The first [--] weeks were shaky. Uncertainty and desperation was clouding my headspace. But tonight I felt it. A flicker of it. It's coming back to me. A random Tuesday night. Post class. A friend invited me for dinner at Singapore CBD. I then invited a few others."
