There's something incredibly honest about swimming a long distance. No noise, no likes, no scoreboard—just you and the work.

Most affiliate programs are built like leaky funnels. Tracking works. Creatives don’t. The problem is rarely the publisher.

The biggest lesson from endurance sports? Your brain quits long before your body needs to. The trick is learning to ignore it.

Yes, Piastri is my favourite driver, despite the wish to see Ferrari succeed. What makes Oscar stand out is control under pressure. Every lap is calculated. Every overtake, earned. A real (F1) killer

I swam 5km alone.
No phone. No noise. No help.
Just breath, water, pain—and clarity.
I learned more there than I would have learnt doing an MBA. 😂
