Here's a Troy Story about how I learned the important lesson that Comfort = Risk, and where it applies all across your life.
The Time I lit $200 on Fire
The underlying philosophy of everything I write about is that the most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. Within that vein of your relationship with yourself - is your relationship with money. A tricky relationship many people have with themselves indeed.

A year where the puzzle pieces fell into place in magical ways.
On Visual Diets
Today I want to dive into another wacky weird thought tangent I’ve been exploring - color and light and what I call your "visual diet". It’s well documented how colours have an effect on us.

Covid and the quarantine and now all of the protests can take a toll on … Continue reading On mood, motivation, goal chasing, and learning
My Superpower
The other day while journaling I asked myself, “What is your superpower?” What can I do better than anyone else, or differently than anyone else, that gives me powers others don’t have access to? Pulling on the threads of self inquiry, the first thought that jumped to mind is something around speaking. I have the … Continue reading My Superpower
