Your morning routine is either setting you up for the future you desire, or priming your brain for failure—riddled with cheap dopamine in the form of distractions. In The Ultimate Science-Backed Morning Routine, I walk you through step-by-step protocols: phone-free nights, hydration, sunlight exposure, journaling, meditation, focused deep work, a high-protein breakfast with smart supplements, and an intention training session so you actually give yourself a fighting chance. You'll learn how each habit shapes your circadian rhythm, energy, mood, focus, discipline, and neuroplasticity so you can finally align your biology with your goals.If you want to stop procrastinating on your dream life using neuroscience, psychology, and physiology, then this video is for you.

Everyone wants to “become more successful than 99% of people,” so they double down on monk mode, a strict morning routine, and deep work. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: if everyone is doing the same productivity tactics, they’re no longer a competitive edge—they’re just the new baseline.

In this video, I walk you through a deeper approach to success: aligning your goals, habits, and identity with your core values so you stop chasing someone else’s definition and actually build a life that feels right on the inside. We’ll talk about cognitive dissonance, why money and status alone can’t buy happiness, and how to design a path that matches who you are at your core.
