Be mentally and physically … warriors. Lift heavy weights and run long distances, in the gym and in your mind.

Many tasks you’ll be asked to perform early in your career will be tedious.

Don’t do what you are asked to do, but what you are capable of doing. Think of it as boot camp before being sent to battle, as there are millions of other warriors fighting to win the same regions of prosperity. Get strong, really strong.

You should be able to walk into a room and believe you could overpower, outrun, or outlast every person in the room.

Embrace a degree of stoicism for the first 24 to 36 months after graduation.

I enjoy alcohol and THC, and used them every day in college. But I took 24 months (mostly) off both as I knew I needed to be in great shape physically and mentally.

Whether it’s shopping, gaming, swiping, posting, eating, porn, streaming, or ESPN, take as much of this energy and time for the next couple years and reallocate that human capital to three things: work, relationships, and fitness.
