WC 018: 3am on a Wednesday
It’s Wednesday morning, 3am and I’ve got Vivaldi’s Spring I recomposition by Max Richter rocking on the airpod pros. Slippers and robe on, coffee brewed, ready to go! Usually I’m still in bed for another hour, or I’m slipping into my first meditation, but today
Making Peace With Being Busy
I’m not going to lie. It’s been a bit of a busy season these past couple of weeks since returning from Costa Rica. This week we wrapped up our unveiling of CTC Circle, hosted our first community kick-off call, and I’ve also been supporting the final phase
WC 016: I Got Called Out
I got called out. I woke up this morning to a message from a mentor asking me why I had strayed from a plan that was offered, and that I had wholeheartedly agreed to. I’m a bit of a rebel and I’ve always had a tendency to go
WC 015: The Indifference of a Vast Universe
I'm back! Feels good to drop in with you after a bit of a much needed break, and admittedly, some hammock hustling on the side. It's funny how these things go. I haven't taken a peek at my email stats in well over a
WC 014: Taking a Brief Pause
This 14th issue of the Wizard’s chest marks the start of my “spring break”, which is something I’ve been looking forward to for almost three years now, since the start of the pandemic. Coming off an incredible Q1 and our second cohort of Automated Intimacy, I’ll be
WC 013: The Snotty Side of Re-Engagement
Let’s talk about re-engagement campaigns. There’s nothing more polarizing when it comes to automated email sequences. Here’s a reply I recently got in response to my latest attempt: emails like this are well-intentioned by also ... kind of snotty. I’ve been swamped for a good bit, but
WC 0012: You can’t take it with you when you go
I was interviewed earlier this week on a podcast about spirituality, and while things got weird (as my conversations around this topic always tend to), it provided me with a great opportunity to reflect on the past and how I’ve arrived here at this moment. And then it brought
WC 011: How Did We Get Here?
How did we get here? At one point, you had an interest or passion that was driven by only one thing, the feeling of being lit up. You spent nights and weekends absorbing everything you could about that subject. And then someone told you that you could make a lot
WC 010: I Don’t Know How Writers Do This …
I don't know how writers do this. Creating this newsletter has given me more empathy and compassion for those who have chosen this game as a profession. It's one thing when you are a marketing strategist talking about how content dovetails with other growth and funnel
WC 009: The Enchanting First Encounter
Something I’ve been reflecting on this week is how a single action can lead to two very different results based on where your energy is centered. It’s easy to get highly focused on a strategy, and lose sight of the original intention behind it. It’s also far
