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...
The KEY to getting what you want out of life
hey Reader, mau here These last few days have been an emotional rollercoaster. Sunday, I had one of the most magical days so far in Bali. I truly started to fall in love with this place… I learned how to ride a scooter, connected with incredible people over the weekend, and started to feel that beautiful Bali energy people talk about. I felt high on life. But then Monday came around… and something flipped. I lost motivation, couldn’t focus, and got caught up trying to save money on a scooter...
beauty in chaos
yo yo, mau here. okay. finallllllly starting to feel like i’m landing here in Bali. currently sitting at this cheeky cafe with healthy juice/food right now. kinda salty because i left my headphones at the crib 🫠 oh well. bali is pretty cool… but incase you haven’t been here, lemme just tell ya - it is NOT all you see online. i will say though... it’s only been 1.5 days… and slowly but surely, i am starting to see the beauty in the chaos. plus, being here has reminded me of a really important...
30,000 feet and a nudge from the universe
Hello hello, mau here. I am currently 30,000 feet in the air, in the middle of the pacific ocean, zooming through space in a metal contraption writing to you. These things trip me out, man… We've made flying so normal. But it's actually fucking insane. I wanted to work on content up here, but the clips on my phone aren't downloaded and the wifi isn't strong enough to load. Boo. So now you get this, instead ;) Speaking of insane things though... I want to give you an update on my little...
i can’t believe i’m actually doing this.
holy fuck. holy fuck. mau here. IT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. if you haven’t noticed… i’ve been scheming some shit behind the scenes for a minute now. ever since i spontaneously booked my airbnb in Bali about a month ago. the vision was simple: move to Bali. stop doing ANYTHING that isn’t fully aligned. go ALL IN on being a creator. and document myself building a business OF BEING MYSELF. a few late nights, wired off my ass, frantic chatgpt convos later… the whole thing started unfolding right...
Life doesn't slow down for anyone...
Hello friend, Mau here I’m sitting here drinking a cup of coffee (with no coconut oil bc I couldn’t find it — argh) in my friend Sam’s studio. It’s actually full of my old gear… Sam is a buddy here from Austin. We used to DJ a lot together. I’d definitely consider him one of my best friends (although we haven’t been in touch as much lately). Regardless, he opened up his place to me and I’m so fucking grateful. I’m so grateful for how life works… how we are constantly supported. How even if we...
Is it ego, fear, or intuition?
Hey, mau here. If you read my last email, you might've seen that I spontaneously booked a place in Bali at 1:12 in the morning... And ngl – the next 3 days I woke up shitting my pants. My mind racing: Am I really going to Bali?" "Why did I book this so fast?" "Why did I just blast this to over 500 people and post it on my story?" "Do I even want to go?" "Is this a good idea?" "Will this work out?" "What if I don't like it?" "I don't even really want to leave Austin..." "I have friends...
2 hours of Eckhart Tolle in 2 minutes
Are you enlightened, bro? Hey Reader, mau here… So I went to see Eckart Tolle speak last night. If you don’t know who that is, he’s the guy who wrote the famous book “The Power of Now”. It came out over 20 years ago. I feel like that book is most people’s initiation into the whole “consciousness” wave... And guess what? It’s not surprising the whole talk was about the importance of the present moment. Since you weren’t there, let me give you the rundown and MY take on it… *takes a deep breath...
Do you dance in the rain?
Two kinds of people in the world... Hey, mau here… So yesterday I went on a run in the evening and the weather was fucking incredible – Cloudy with grey/blue skies and the wind was picking up like it was about to rain. I LOVE the rain. After running I jumped in my car and headed to Trader Joe’s to pick up food for dinner… While i was driving there, the sky turned a deep dark blue/almost purple and I saw some lightning. It felt like a scene out of a movie… and this “larger-than-life” feeling...
Perception = peace
This one mindset shift will change your life. Hey, mau here... I'm sitting at a cafe called Mañana in the mañana. ha – get it? Outside in the sun. The wind is on the briskier side today. It's a fucking beautiful day. (Oops – hit the table and spilt coffee on my shoe). Ah....... That's me sighing. At life. At the beauty of it all. And yes, I'm talking about the bad stuff too. The pain, the failures, the heartbreaks... It's all beautiful. It's all Lessons. Experiences. (re)Direction. Every...
Find yourself constantly worrying?
"What if things don't work out?" "What if I look dumb for trying?" "What if I can't make money?" Hey, mau here... Wanna know something? One thing people have said about me is that I don't worry much... “It seems like you’re always chillin” – they tell me, “never stressed, never worried…”, To be fair, I used to hold a lot of things in… Pretending things were fine when they weren't... But for the most part, I do think there is some truth to that... I'm not sure where it came from, but I’ve...
