The Sacred Responsibility of Your 20s

Your 20s are not a decade to throw away in the name of “just having fun.”

They are the most powerful, formative years of your life — a sacred responsibility.

For the first time, you’re not a kid, but not yet weighed down by midlife obligations. You’ve got the freedom, the energy, and the time to build the foundation for everything you want to become.

Don’t waste that window numbing your mind with weed, wasting nights at parties you won’t remember, or chasing cheap highs.

Learn. Build. Launch.

This is your time to chase delayed gratification—to suffer now in the gym, in the books, in your business—so you can one day live free.

You don’t owe the world a wild youth. You owe your future self a strong beginning.
