Welcome back winners it is Week 27 of the current paradigm but for the next few weeks we are going back to our early twenties...

Day 17 • 2021 | Learning to Love the Process

Five years ago I was sitting in the Florida Keys after a meditation, recording a voice memo that I never expected anyone else to hear.

At the time, I wasn't building an audience.

I wasn't creating content.

I wasn't trying to go viral.

I was simply trying to remember who I was becoming.

Listening back today, what surprised me wasn't how much I've changed.

It was how much has stayed the same.

At 21, I believed success was about learning to appreciate the process.

I talked about embracing uncertainty, not worrying about money, trusting that people come into your life for a reason, and believing that building something meaningful would take time.

I remember saying that I wanted to become the best, but more importantly, I wanted to become myself.

Looking back, I don't think I fully understood what that meant.

Five years later, I still believe the process is the point.

The difference is that life has tested that belief.

Businesses have grown and changed.

Relationships have come and gone.

I've lived abroad.

Started over.

Fallen in love.

Lost clients.

Found new opportunities.

Questioned my purpose more times than I can count.

And somehow I keep arriving back at the same lesson.

The process wasn't preparing me for life.

The process is life.

I thought there would eventually be a moment where everything clicked and I'd stop questioning myself.

That moment never came.

Instead, confidence has become less about certainty and more about trusting myself to figure things out.

I said that appreciating the process would matter more than the destination.

I still believe that's true.

Maybe even more today than I did back then.

Because every chapter I was impatient to finish ended up becoming part of the story I now value most.

If there's one thing this old recording reminded me of, it's this:

You don't need to have your entire life figured out.

You just need to keep becoming the person who can handle whatever comes next.

Maybe that's all any of us are really doing.

See you in the next time capsule.

In this episode, I sit down with Jack Preston, a 25-year-old entrepreneur who’s proving that confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you earn.

Jack shares how he went from plumbing for £49/day, to trading (losing — then learning), and now to building a content agency that turns everyday moments into stories worth sharing.

His path hasn’t been easy — but through mentorship, community, and sheer persistence, Jack has carved out his own lane.

We dig into:

• 🔑 Why confidence comes from proving yourself through action, not waiting for permission

• 💡 The shift from trading losses to entrepreneurial lessons

• 🚀 How the A-Players community helped spark his agency journey

• 🥊 Why risk, discipline, and character matter more than titles or degrees

• 🛠️ What it takes to build a business when everyone around you doubts you

Jack’s story is a raw reminder that success is less about where you start and more about the decisions you make when opportunities (and challenges) present themselves.
