It’s probably the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to kickstarting your creative power, self-discipline, communication, and productivity. I’m helping promo a 30 day blog challenge on Bitpost. Check it out.

Daily blogging changes people. It doesn’t change their essence. It chips away at the gunk that builds up around that essence. It burns away chaff and unleashes a stronger, clearer, more refined and robust person. It makes people better versions of themselves. I was just browsing the Praxis participant and alumni online community. There are… Continue reading The Transformations from Daily Blogging

Daily blogging is the single highest ROI activity in my life. It has changed everything for me and opened more opportunities than I can count while leveling me up. And it’s therapeutic. But from time to time, I pause it. Usually when I am embracing a new kind of creative challenge and want to keep… Continue reading Hitting Pause on Daily Blogging

Since 2012, I have published over 1,600 articles, most of them on this blog. I’ve done daily blogging streaks of over a year, and several of six months. Every time I break it’s been a deliberate choice to try something different in my daily routine. But I keep coming back. There’s nothing like it for… Continue reading Considering a Halt on Daily Blogging

It’s no exaggeration to say taking on the challenge issued by TK Coleman to blog every day led directly to the creation and launch of Praxis. I had a great job, lived in a great place, found my work meaningful and largely autonomous, and had already surpassed any notion I’d had about what success looked like.… Continue reading It Started with Daily Blogging

At Praxis, we’re obsessed with relentless personal growth, for ourselves and our customers. One of the best, most accessible methods of pushing yourself is to take on small, short-term, daily challenges. It’s not the size of the task that leads to greatness, but the ability to show up and do it every single day no… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Blogging Challenge!

I’ve been daily blogging most of the time since 2012. I occasionally take deliberate breaks to direct my writing elsewhere and mix things up. This is one such hiatus! I’m mostly writing on partner ecosystems in the B2B SaaS world right now on other platforms. I will be back on the blog again at some… Continue reading A Quick Update

I’ve written over 2,500 articles. I’ve done daily blogging on and off for years. I’ve published ten books. Yet I show up every morning and face this blank screen with no idea what I’m going to write, how I’m going to write it, or whether it will be good. When I’m done I don’t really… Continue reading Perpetual Novice

CaaHA (Content-as-a-Homework-Assignment) is the dominant form of online creation for most companies. And it can’t die soon enough. I’m a bit of an education radical, so I have no problem saying homework is generally stupid and trains people in bad habits. Writing assignments are particularly egregious for their forced criteria and demands of feigned interest.… Continue reading Content-as-a-Homework-Assignment Needs to Die (and maybe AI will help kill it)

People have become a lot more conscious of what they put into their bodies. It’s popular to research and experiment and figure out what types of food and what specific ingredients, and even what source and process of manufacture are best aligned with health outcomes. You don’t see this level of interest when it comes… Continue reading Brain Health

I can’t seem to quit daily blogging for long. I’ve been doing more writing than ever with the new gig at PartnerHacker, but it’s not quite the same as showing up to the blank screen on the personal blog and hammering something out. So, here goes again. As always, I have no plans, goals, ideas,… Continue reading Back Again

A degree is a signal. It became a useful artifact for hiring managers working with limited information to separate candidates likely to have greater conformity, persistence, and willingness to invest in themselves. But times have changed. A degree no longer does a good job of signaling persistence and willingness to invest in oneself, while conformity… Continue reading The Counter-Signal of a College Degree

I remember when my good friend TK Coleman started his first daily blogging challenge. He had a medical emergency and was in a hospital bed but he still managed to publish a post that day. Those are the most powerful posts. Not because the content or style are better. They’re usually worse. They are powerful… Continue reading Strength in Weakness
