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...
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...
the art of saying FUCK IT
yo, mau here. I know you're prolly on my list for the vibes – my crazy adventures, my different perspectives, and the inspiration to live your own life… so I'll keep this nice and short. look – the only way I can actually live this life? is because every passing day, month, and year… I give LESS and LESS fucks. and trust me, it wasn't always easy. when I first moved to Colombia, I was scared SHITLESS. but I said fuck it – sent it – and it turned out to be the most eye-opening time of my life....
how does the sprint work?
hey Reader, mau here the last few days have been… a fucking rollercoaster. i'll spare the details for another email (maybe)… but let's just say I had a big wake up call. about me, who I am, and how I've been moving through life. and then, when I didn't think it could get any worse – I got extremely sick. like… debilitating. thankfully, I woke up feeling a ~little~ better today. but regardless, the show must go on... anyways. if you're not aware, i'm doing a 2 week 'sell-what-u-know' sprint...
try this tomorrow morning
hey Reader, mau here. sippin my morning coffee. 9:00 am. writing to you: and... I already ran, filmed + edited a reel, and gratitude maxxed all morning. life has been feeling like a dream lately. probably because I live in Bali. but... there is one small shift I've been making lately that's been changing everything for me. which is: in the smallest of moments, as i'm going about my morning — I remember to shift my internal state. you see, I used to always move from this underlying 'go go go'...
i almost shit my pants last night
fear still holding you back? lol hey, mau here. ngl, it's kind of crazy to experience how even after posting for so long, I STILL get nervous/scared when I put things out. last night, I started a new series on IG: grow the _current to $10k/per month while learning how to surf I felt great creating, writing, filming, editing, etc… but when it came time to post!? I practically shit my pants. all the usual thoughts – "what if no one likes it?", "damn, the hook could have been better", "what if...
why doing 'inner work' is blocking you
this might not sit well with some of you… hey, mau here. so, recently i've started to realize something – most of the subconscious work, reprogramming, and identity work you hear about? (yes, even from me) practically becomes obsolete when you just focus on ONE thing instead: the mission. or, plainly put – serving. let me explain. look, i'm not saying this stuff doesn't matter… in fact, it's incredibly important to have an understanding of the way the human mind works. to realize that your...
