Over the past 6 months, I’ve actively sought out content to help me improve my life.
95% of all self-help material feels like recycled BS, but I was lucky to find profound gems in written or video formats that have completely reshaped my outlook toward life, work, creativity, and business.
Notable mentions are:
- Naval Ravikant’s tweetstorms on “how to get rich (without getting lucky)”
- Dan Koe’s one-person business model (productizing yourself)
and most recently, the third one, Ryan Trahan's Framework on Exploitative vs. Redemptive Work
This one shook me to my core in a way nothing else has because of how wholesome it is.
Here’s a word-to-word of what Ryan shared in his interview with Anthony Padilla:
WHAT WE BUILD
HOW WE BUILD
WHY WE BUILD
It's stunning in its simplicity, yet SO powerful in its impact.
Even inspired me to make changes in my own life, aligning myself with the redemptive work philosophy: creating not just for personal gain but for the restoration of the ones I create it for.
It’s a reminder to take a step back, reevaluate, and ask ourselves:
Are we toiling for rewards, or are we creating for restoration?
