Hi friend!

Here's something for you to...

1) watch.

Girl Learns to Dance in a Year

Whenever you feel like you're not improving or things are taking a long time, watch this short video.

2) read.

Born to run (things)

A quick little blog about how 'pure talent' is bullshit. Take it from the Boss.

Talent is overrated. Skill is acquirable.

3) use.

Chess.com

In the middle of summer quarantine, I dove into the world of chess. It's safe to say it has become one of my favorite activities.

I'm still a total beginner, but if any of my readers play, hop on and challenge me!

4) listen to.

I've been a staunch advocate for free speech for a while, and this guy added completely new insights into how I think about the first Amendment.

Extras.

Weekly garbage.

Did you smoke the rest of the weed?

I'm back on YouTube! No more vlogs or personal development videos, though.

Just short and stupid sketches. Every weekend.

Some of my blogs.

Ever heard of him?

Truly.

Twitter.

I've sold my soul to the Devil and I'm on Twitter now. I'll be posting insights and blogs about how I run two profitable online businesses—life coaching and content writing.

It's just for me to grow my reach and connect with others, but if you want to follow me to see what I'm up to on those fronts, I'm @DillanRoy.

Quotes.

“Your mind is a dangerous neighborhood. Never go there alone.”

-John Strasser

“Busy is simply a series of choices about how to spend the next minute. Productive requires skill, persistence and good judgment. Productive means that you have created something of value.”

-Seth Godin

“Folks might say, “I don’t want to yield to those who hate and are trying to tear down our democracy.” In our silos, both sides are saying this exact same thing.”

-Jeff Krasno
