If you're making $120k to $180k a year in NYC, you're extra prone to lifestyle creep.
This is when you start spending on stuff like:

• $300/mo social club
• $280/mo high-end gyms
• $120 concert tickets
• $40 Ubers
• $28 cocktails
• $8 coffees…

A cultural shift is slowly happening.
A few years ago, if you didn't drink, people would discreetly judge you.

Equinox no longer feels like a premium experience.

In NYC, 75% of the ppl attend my events "to meet new friends" or "just for fun".

The
#1
killer of startups:
Lack of speed.
• Not moving fast enough
• Not making decisions quickly
• Not having a bias for action.
The result is lost momentum and morale.
Instead, take action. Get feedback. Then rapidly iterate and take action again.

To everyone in their 20s, 30s, and 40s:
Sit down with your parents.
Ask them about their happiest moments. Their fondest memories. Their favorite stories.
Ask them what they were like as kids. What made them happy.
Watch them smile.
And record it all so you never forget.
