  • It’s Not A Business

    Being an entrepreneur looks a lot different in 2024 than it did in 2004. Given that the world is rapidly moving toward an economy built around the personal brand, the creator, it’s harder to differentiate between an artist and a solopreneur. Before you’re managing employees, before you’re selling a product, honing your craft as a…

  • Busy: The Relationship Between Effort & Content Creation

    Sup peeps, hope you’re doing well. As an antidote to my horrible, unplanned hiatus from posting here I’ve been thinking about how to change my relationship with content creation and all of my hair-brain so called long-term goals. A number of years ago, for a variety of reasons, I was able to get a lot…

  • Escaping The Ego: On Networking & Asking For Help

    Hey y’all hope you’re doing fabulously well. I apologize that it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything substantive to FourthEye, I’ve been quite busy as of late, and working on another blog. The topic is art and anime (no not my shitty art) which showcases art from a number of great artists, most of…

  • The Lens of “Optimal”

    Although I spend a lot of time doing it, I’ve spent little time talking explicitly about my focus on optimization. The pursuit of optimization is more or less, the lens through which I see most issues and facets of my life. Whether it’s health, wealth, love and relationships or internal peace and enlightenment, optimization is…

  • The Practical Search For Passion

    Reflecting on the many articles I’ve published to FourthEye, I realized that though I’ve spent a decent amount of time talking about the importance of passion and managing it to achieve success and fulfillment, I’ve spent relatively little time addressing how we identify our passion. While everybody and their grandmother at some point or another…

  • Distractions From The Main Plot

    It always feels like such an odd exercise to diminish the importance or usefulness of certain conversations or topics, and yet to the end of effective resource management such a task seems necessary. In this short piece, my hope is to illuminate some of how I think about choosing topics and also cover issues that…

  • My Take On Plan B’s

    Something that comes up a tremendous amount, is the topic of what we actually do if “it doesn’t work out.” Being that this question is pretty important for those that try to run their own shows, this has been something that I’ve put a lot of resources into thinking about. In part because at some…

  • Lifestyle Design Part 3: Setting The Stage For Quality Work

    Originally, I hadn’t planned to associate this piece with lifestyle design when I first wrote about the ideas I’m about to share here, but I thought that much of what I’m gonna touch on is so fundamental to a quality life, that it may as well be put in the lifestyle design series. The basic…

  • An Introduction To Polymathism

    Something that I’ve been toying with for a long time is the idea of wearing many hats, so to speak. Even with the rise of people working from home and things such as freelancing that we see in the modern world, the idea of pursuing many careers at the same time or exploring different creative…
