⭕️ I wish someone shared with me this earlier

Hey friend,

Alright, so this week’s newsletter is going to be a little different.

We were originally going to continue Part 3 of the High Agency series (and don’t worry, we’ll come back to it), but something happened recently that made me want to switch things up.

I’m launching a bit of a wild idea. Something I’ve never done before—and honestly, something I’ve never asked from this newsletter community either.

For the first time, I’m inviting you to be part of the behind-the-scenes of one of the biggest moments in my life so far. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s got a bold goal.

More on that in a second.

But before we get there, I want to share a simple concept that changed the way I approach almost everything I do—and it might just be the permission you’ve been waiting for to finally take that idea in your head… and make it real.

Let’s talk about the 6-week experiment sprint

The 6-week Experiment

Let’s be honest for a second—one of the hardest things about being a young person with big dreams is this:

You have so many ideas… And at the same time, you feel like you don’t have enough experience, resources, or direction to get started.

So what do you do? You overthink. You compare. You procrastinate. You scroll. You tweak your Notion dashboard for the 10th time.

Been there. Too many times.

But a couple years ago, during my time at NEXT Canada (a startup incubator that felt like Survivor meets Shark Tank), I picked up a concept that changed everything for me.

It’s called the 6-Week Experiment Sprint.

And in my TEDx talk (which goes live in just 30 days), I break it down as one of the core tools inside the T.O.D.A.Y. framework. Especially for the first step: T – Take Initiative.

Here’s the idea:

Instead of asking, “What’s the one perfect thing I should do with my life?”—you flip the question to:

“What’s one thing I can test over the next 6 weeks?”

That one mindset shift unlocked so much for me.

I made a list of everything I was curious about:

• Podcasting

• Consulting

• Launching a community platform (hello, Leaders of Today)

• Even an NFT project… yeah, it was 2021. Don’t judge.

And I gave each one a 6-week sprint. During each one, I would:

• Talk to at least 10 people already doing it

• Try a small version of it (record a pilot, build an MVP, host an event)

• Set a mini-goal (e.g. 100 listeners, 1 partnership, 10 users)

• Reflect: Did I enjoy this? Did I add value? Can I see myself doing more of it?

Some flopped. Some were fun but not sustainable. And one (Leaders of Today) became what I now do full-time.

Here’s why this matters:

Most of us procrastinate not because we’re lazy—but because we’re overwhelmed. The 6-week sprint lowers the pressure. You don’t have to commit forever. You just have to commit for six weeks.

It turns “someday” into “day one.”

And if you’re in school or university, this is one of the most powerful things you can do right now.

Make a list of everything you see yourself possibly doing—fields you're curious about, paths you might want to explore. Then, run a 6-week sprint for each one. By the time you graduate, you won’t just have clarity—you’ll have tested your ideas in the real world, built relationships, gathered data, and know exactly where to double down.

That’s how you build a career on purpose, not by accident.

And today… is that day one for me.

Because we’re officially 30 days away from my TEDx talk launch. And I’m doing something I’ve never done before (lol, are you gonna acknowledge how smooth that transition was).

For the first time in 2.5 years of writing this newsletter, I’m asking something personal from you.

Here’s my pitch:

I believe this message—Tomorrow Never Comes—deserves to be heard by as many people as possible. I believe it can help someone finally take that first step. And I believe that with the support of this community, we can push it further than I ever could alone.

My goal? 1 million views. And maybe, just maybe, a spot as a TED Editor’s Pick.

But it won’t happen with just a “like” or a quiet watch.

So I’m inviting you to join me as part of what I’m calling The Inner Circle—a private WhatsApp group of the most engaged people in this community.

As part of the Inner Circle, you’ll:

• Get early access to the TEDx talk the moment it goes live

• Decide on the talk’s thumbnail, title, etc

• Be first to receive behind-the-scenes content, voice notes, and updates throughout the 30-day countdown

• Join our TEDx Watch Party (virtual + in-person details coming soon!)

• Help create a ripple effect by sharing, tagging, commenting, and making sure this message reaches the people who need it most

This isn’t about going viral for the sake of it. It’s about building momentum around something that matters.

If you’ve ever resonated with this newsletter… if you’ve ever wanted to be part of something bigger… if you’ve ever needed a push to start your own 6-week sprint…

Consider this your invitation.

Let’s make some noise. Let’s build this thing in public. Let’s do it together.

My friend, ngl I am quite scared putting myself out there like this and setting this ambitious goal. But you know that feeling when you’re super excited about something and lose sleep over it. This is how I feel about this goal. And with your support, I feel a tiny bit more confident that we can get to a million views. So if you haven’t already, would love for you to join my inner circle here and work with you to get there. So excited to get this talk to as many people as possible :)

Rooting for you my friend,
