Just a guy in his 20's trying to reach his goals, whilst helping others do the same. In 2022, I quit my job to go in fully on my goals of being an entrepreneur and achieving freedom. I want to share that journey here and help you with your own. On this channel, you'll find content on self improvement: fitness, discipline, quitting bad habits, mental health and building a better life overall. Let's become better men🤝
