The Path to the Vale
In the sixth book of the Red Rising Series (Light Bringer), one of my favorite metas I’ve ever crossed paths with runs in parallel–a story within a story, with some incredible metaphors for life.

Red Rising
BY: PIERCE BROWN In one line: Hands down, my favorite book series of all time…sci-fi, fantasy, and leadership…stay on the ride until the end because it only gets better the deeper you dive. “Societies have 3 stages: savagery, ascendance, and decadence—decadence is where they fail.“ “We sing, we dance, we love—that is our power.” “AllContinue reading “Red Rising”
Thought Experiment—Predictions For the “Red Wave” & Trump
Improve Your Process With Prediction & Reflection This is one of the things that most of the people I admire constantly reiterate— “focus on process, not result. The results will take care of themselves when you have a consistent, clear, and repeatable process.” I believe that taking time to reflect on your thinking is oneContinue reading “Thought Experiment—Predictions For the “Red Wave” & Trump”
