If you haven’t played chess before, I highly recommend it. Easily a very addictive thinkin game.

The coach of the U.S. chess boxing team dropped out of law school to go all-in on the sport. Matt Thomas built the American team, which includes a lawyer, a Cornell math major, and a military veteran. In 2018, Thomas became the first American to win a world chess boxing title.

I don't set goals like most others. I pick challenges that scare me, ones I'm likely to fail. Then, I use that fear of failure to fuel the discipline, drive, and progress to become the version of myself that has a better chance at that challenge. I did it for myself selling out venues, landing spots on emmy-award winning casts, and becoming a chessboxing world champion. Now, I coach others using the same goals system, Kaizen and Misogi, which I broke down for free in my latest newsletter. Check the first comment to give it a shot!
