Follow Obsession & Surround Yourself With Relentless Humans.

The Spark.

Danny Miranda asked this question during our conversation on my podcast (EPISODE #20). The craziest part when discussing how important reminders can be in our day to day was what I had as my background. Recently, I changed my wallpaper to the Zach Pogrob tweet below. That was big for me because I had the same Yogi Roth background for the past 4 to 5 years. I had no idea of the backstory that Danny was in the same room in Austin, Texas hanging out with Zach and watching in real-time an absolute killer of a tweet being constructed.

This tweet has sent me down a deep dive into Zach’s mission, Follow Obsession, and how it applies to my life. How can I discover more of my obsession and other relentless humans who align with that tweet? Zach has been sharing a lot of content on what we can learn from the greats who were obsessed.

I first started following his work last July after he was a guest on The Danny Miranda Podcast and have watched him grow exponentially. I first fell in love with the concept from Robert Green called “The Voice” that Zach shared on The Danny Miranda Podcast. The inner voice gets louder as you feed it with things aligned with your soul. It is also the thing that can go away forever if you don’t listen, become unaware, or choose not to feed it. Like a bonfire that slowly loses its flame and can not be reignited.

He has evolved his short reel content from the style of what Naval has posted and they have absolutely blown up. To the point that all you see are other creators putting together short-form, concise, and punchy videos in his format.

The feeling, the medium, and the vehicle are the pillars of the obsession that Zach has shared. They are also the newest additions to my lock screen daily reminders. The feeling for me is a love for exploring my curiosity and deeply connecting with others. Helping them be the best they can be and maximizing who I am becoming. Pouring into others’ cups, not from a half-empty cup, or a full cup, but an overflowing cup.

Right now there is an overlap between my medium & vehicle. Performance coaching for collegiate and high school student-athletes, writing a weekly newsletter and hosting my own podcast. Over the past 2 years of writing and podcasting have created a tension of “I can’t not do this”. I believe that feeling is obsession leaving a clue. It is not a question of if, but when can I get these thoughts out of my brain?

I wanted to share something with you that has meant so much to me these past few months of 2023. I would love to connect with others who resonate with what Zach continues to put out into the world. Cheers to the obsessed and 2023 being filled with discovering other relentless humans who plan in decades but live in moments. BLACK FLAG.
