2 hours of sleep, Mt Fuji overnight hike while sick, wearing ALLBIRDS, no cash, and just one bottle of water and pocari sweat. I was unfit and stupidly unprepared. But hey, got a great story out of it.

The real reason I quit Google was... Not because of drama. Nor a layoff (I wish). It was because I was disillusioned. I was conditioned to believe anything off the traditional path -school, job, obedience- was a distraction. So for 27 years, I fought every creative and entrepreneurial instinct. I chased the “safe” path to its logical end. When I got there, I was so proud. I had done what I was supposed to do. But the illusion didn’t last. I wasn’t going to find my purpose in a corporate org chart. I wasn’t going to buy my parents a big house by doing what everyone else does. I had let my 8-year-old self’s dreams die. All to fit someone else’s definition of success. For years I told myself: “99% of businesses fail.” “Be realistic.” “You’re just being weak.” Man, shut the fuck up. I’m going to prove all my limiting beliefs so wrong that others like me have no choice but to confront their own. #pbc30

How I went from $0 to $750k in 5 years… And still ended up depressed. If you’re still on the grind to bridge that gap between survival and stability I get it. That’s why I made the Job Offer System free even though it’s better than most $500 courses out there. Most people will use it to get the job and be content. Thats amazing, seriously. But for the 2% of you who deep down know you’re meant for more, I’ll be building in public and sending insights for when you’re ready to leap. Link in bio. Day 7 of 30 #pbc30

in my mom’s basement playing league of legends until 2am, eating family size chip bags for dinner. video games on one screen. david goggins on the second monitor. i kept telling myself my “real life” would begin eventually. eventually, i actually changed. 5 tech offers. google. nyc. six figures. the software engineering dream. but three years later, at the peak of everything, i held a knife to my neck. and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. part 2 tomorrow.

The uncertain path is the only path. Because the certain one never gets you where you want to go. “You’ve been down there, Neo. You know that road and you know exactly where it ends.”

Five months ago I watched this Alex Hormozi video where he said 80% of your effort should be focused on the first 5 seconds. And it was after that moment that I started really studying hooks from a creator POV to understand them. So that’s what I recommend for you, too. Also, hooks don’t always have to be “aggressive”. For example, vulnerability hooks like “I’m X age and I’m a bit ashamed to admit that ____” is one that popped off in the past. Just create that open loop. If you want my free guide on how I’d speedrun 10k followers just comment SPEED and I’ll send it to you.

Anyone can go viral if you understand this hook testing strategy. One of the funny things about content is that it’s supposed to seem natural, but it’s really an engineering problem. And no, I don’t reverse engineer every video I still create for fun and for self expression but when I really want something to land, I will test the hooks and the results are always better when I do.

This is way out of my comfort zone but hopefully embracing the cringe helps you to go do the thing. Also lesson learned don’t put so much pressure on someone like I did. If you’re one of my few high school followers and have a crush…🫡🫡

I’m 27 now and my only regrets I have in life are not believing in myself sooner. To take that first step towards that next life stage whether it’s breaking into tech or breaking out. I’ve seen enough stories like mine at this point that it doesn’t seem like a coincidence. You need financial stability but once you have it that voice that calls for more will get louder. That’s why I recommend you build a personal brand while you have stability in order to 1) figure out what you really want and 2) gain that option to pursue your real calling. This video was a rant but it was an honest moment of me talking to my past self. Day 11 #pbc30

Intrusive thoughts won at the end 🦆… Every immigrant kid struggles with identity. I used to resent my parents and hated being Chinese. The strictness. The frugality. The constant comparison to other kids. Most of all, the lack of freedom. Somewhere around 22 years old, I heard my parents’ story of coming to America. I started understanding everything. After that year that I started appreciating being Chinese. And appreciating them. When I told my parents I was quitting Google, I knew what they’d say, and why they’d say it. Ironically, standing strong in my own beliefs through this journey led to the first time we ever exchanged an “I love you”. After 27 years. I’ve been to China before. As a kid who was ashamed and resentful of that part of him. This time, I’m returning with a new perspective.

This is the second time this happened. Two months ago I tried to do career coaching. Got traction. Ended up burning it all down before I started. Today, I was about to do another coaching offer because “maybe this time it’ll be different.” Nope, the same exact feelings came up. Right now I’m obsessed with creating, yet I’m trying to force a coaching business model because it feels more “real”. It’s time to get out my own way.

Having a good hook’s not everything, not having it is. No but seriously I nerded out about the data early on. That’s how I learned which of my hooks worked and which didn’t. In my experience, my highest performing videos were highly creative and personal while also leveraging pattern recognition from hard data. The Viral Playbook is 50% off for just 3 more days.

The Great Glazing circa 2025 Something interesting I’ve found is that every time that I’ve accepted something is going to take a long time, the faster the results started to come. Day 5 of locking in. I believe in you.

Pro tip if you want to quit your job. Also if you’re considering quitting just take the unpaid leave honestly. To your employer even if there’s a 1% chance you come back it’s positive effective value for them to provide you the opportunity and save from hiring costs and benefits. Meanwhile, you get to keep your insurance (private health insurance sucks and landlords hate unemployed/self-employed people).

i thought quitting google would fix everything. i quit without a plan. flew to asia on a one-way ticket. went viral. made money. built an audience. but underneath it all, i still felt like that kid in the basement who saw himself as a loser. in bangkok, that toxic fuel ran out. and i cried about wanting to be a firefighter. part 3 tomorrow.

I want it all. The money. The status. The proof I wasn’t crazy to walk away. But I also want peace. Art. Love. Freedom. I want to make $200K/month… But I want to go off-grid to make music and meditate. I don’t know. Maybe chasing everything leaves you with nothing. But I can’t help it. That’s just where I’m at right now. Day 6 of 30 #pbc30

What if there was a shortcut to overcome the hardest part of creating content? The blank page. Going from nothing to something is always the hardest part. But I think that by NOT starting from zero, I can better focus on the content itself. Let’s see if I lose all my followers or if this is the secret sauce.
