Serendipity - the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not looked for Hey, it’s Mau. I’m writing this to you from the side of a mountain in the countryside of Colombia at my friend Mike’s finca. A Finca is what we would call a ranch or farm back in the states. A piece of land with a little house on it. In this case - a modern little container home. There’s also an ice-cold, natural spring pool on this property… (reminds me of home). Anyways, how did I get here? The answer: Following...
how to know you're actually changing
hey, mau here so, been a week since i been in Japan with my mom. and while it's been amazing… it's brought up a few things. so as you know (or don't know) – i left home and moved to Bali 14 months ago to build everything i've built now. but the truth is, building is never about the actual thing you build. it's about who you become in the process. the only reason i've had 2 of the best back-to-back months in my life/business isn't because i 'unlocked' some magical skill or hack... it's because...
i think i found the secret…
hey, mau here greetings from a cafe in tokyooooo 🇯🇵🍡☕️ haha man. there are so many things i could write about right now... this last week has been super hectic... yet so incredibly fulfilling. spending quality time w my mom exploring japan getting lost on trains not being able to read food menus getting people enrolled into the story sprint having the kickoff call!! (and seeing everyone's beautiful faces) updating the materials and prepping everything for the next 4 weeks… the last few nights...
they path to immortality
hey, mau here it's 10:38 am. sippin' my coffee. having an absolute perfect morning. meditated. walked. read. wrote. gave thanks. sitting here in my lil open air living room - covered in the sounds of soft, rustling trees, distant scooters, and the occasional bark. life is moving all around.... but inside these 4 concrete walls? peace. pure peace. i was just reading one of my favorite books as of late – Working With the Law by Raymond Holliwell – and i read something that really touched me. it...
i had it all backwards...
hey Reader, mau here holyyyy crap… i’m sitting at this outdoor cafe in Uluwatu… and i just had a HUGE light bulb moment about the whole ‘personal world’ thing. (honestly, this cafe has been super significant for me lol… but that’s for another email) now… i don’t wanna make any brash decisions... so i was hoping to run something by you? look – the last few days i’ve been talking about the idea of building your personal world. and it seems like a lot of you have resonated with it. maybe that's...
how i used quitting my 9-5 (and moving countries) to start my business
...going through big life changes? hey, mau here bit of a different one today. i just had someone tell me she couldn’t join the founding round of flow OS because she’s quitting her 9-5 and moving countries in 2 months… (yes nicole, i’m talking to you) and it reminded me of how i literally used this EXACT situation to catapult me to where i am. ...and how YOU can use a big pivotal moment like this to propel you into the life you want... by starting a ‘mini movement’. look – last year i was...
don't contract.
hey, mau here another day on a little island in paradise. ngl, this hasn’t been the easiest thing ever. thailand is so much different than bali. i’ve had 1000x less inputs. so it’s just been me, my thoughts, and my mind. and yesterday, i caught myself in a similar loop. i felt like nothing i wanted to write or post was “good.” that i was crazy for thinking i could help people build lives + brands that are true to them. and that i should just revert back to the version of me that felt...
freedom torches
hey, mau here sitting in my 'not so nice' airbnb in thailand right now haha. in case you didn't see the video i posted – i had to move next door for a few days bc someone else booked the last place i was in. lol anyway, doesn't matter bc i'm locked in. last few days i've been going down a raaabbiiit hole on the concept of propaganda and cult psychology. it sounds evil lol. and i mean, it can be… but just like any tool, it can also be used for good. basically, propaganda is when you push an...
you don't buy better products
hey, mau here sitting at a rooftop in Ko Phangan. it’s called 420 point. lol you know those campgrounds in the states (or dif parts of the world maybe) – where you park up your car, RV, or tent – then just chill out, bbq, and smoke weed all day? that’s basically what this place feels like. except its an entire island. lol basically, the complete opposite of Bali. but bc of this, i’ve literally just been inside my own little world – schemin’. so, the other day i told you about this...
sleep money (2 hours left)
hey Reader mau here sitting at my new fav cafe here in bali – feeling absolutely electric. the energy here lately is unreal. but that's not what this is about... look – at this point i've made money in so many different ways… lifeguarding, engineering, freelancing, cohorts, coaching, ugc, some modeling lol, digital products... and let me tell you – absolutely nothing feels better than SLEEP MONEY. like, okay. it's not even a lot… but this morning i woke up to this: $600. while sleeping....
i didn't wanna post this
hey Reader, mau here in case you couldn't tell – the last email I sent was pretty vulnerable. it was uncomfortable to write... let alone send. and to make it worse? I turned it into a reel and posted it on my IG. >>> check it here but you might be asking… ok... why? why do you write, share, and post something if it's uncomfortable? let me tell you. ever since I started posting content, my approach has been the same: live my life follow my heart learn a lesson through experience (usually pain...
