Santa Teresa: Surfing, Building, and Finding Rhythm

I know I have not posted in close to a month. Sorry to all my fans. Here in Santa Teresa, I have been in the exact routine I wanted for the past six months, maybe even the past year. Kyle and I wake up and surf every morning, moving our bodies in beautiful nature with monkeys howling around us. Then we come back, drink yerba mate, and work hard to grow our business. We are trying to build something real that improves the healthcare experience. I really love Santa Teresa. As you know, it has helped me get my mind and body working in sync. I am also really grateful for Kyle, for pushing me to be a better man, business partner, and leader. I do not have anything deeply profound to share right now. I am just enjoying the grind and working hard. It is a blessing to support myself and work for myself. I was thinking about last February, when I was in Laos, going cafe to cafe and country to country, giving myself space to think about who I wanted to become. Looking back now, I am like: wow, how did I spend so much time just traveling and gallivanting? It was beautiful and amazing, but now I have a fire in my belly to make a difference. If a day goes by without real work, I feel a void. That is what I am most grateful for as I get closer to 26: working hard and building services, software, and systems that people pay for and trust to improve their lives. That is truly amazing. And it is within reach for more people than they think.
