Motivation, humor, and honesty for men who are building better lives in real time.

Good jobs are dead. Good paths replaced them.

AI is changing everything faster than you think.

In a previous issue, I broke down the Five P's:

Path, Passion, Purpose, People, Place.

Now here's the question everyone's asking:

What do I actually do with this?

You don't need a 30-day plan.

You don't need to map out the next year.

You simply need to win today. And tomorrow, do it again.

That's how paths get built.

Here’s Your Next Move

Look at the Five P’s.

Pick the one that’s weakest for you right now.

Then do one thing today to strengthen it.

Not five things. Not a life overhaul. One move.

Tomorrow you can pick the same P or a different one.

Doesn’t matter. Just win the day.

Seven days of this and you’ll be somewhere different.

Thirty days and you're ahead of most people.

Here’s what winning one day looks like for each P.

Path: Build Your System

Spend 30 minutes with an AI tool learning something you don’t know.

Pick ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity.

Ask (prompt) it to teach you something adjacent to your current job.

A skill. A mental model. A better way to solve a problem you see every week.

Don’t just read the answer.

Apply it.

Passion: Find Your Fuel

Spend 30 minutes doing the part of your work where time disappears.

If nothing at work does that, get curious and look outside it.

That hobby you love. Building something with your hands. Writing. Anything where you lose track of time.

Do more of that today.

Even if it's not your job.

Purpose: Aim Your Energy

Help one person with something you already know.

A co-worker stuck on a problem you've solved. Your elderly neighbor who needs help with tech. Someone in your network who needs an intro. Your kid's team that needs a volunteer.

Don't overthink it.

Just be useful.

People: Multiply Your Effort

Reach out to one person in your phone or email inbox who’s a few steps ahead.

Not to ask for a job. Not to pitch anything. Just to learn how they think.

Message:

“I’ve been following your work on X. Curious how you think about Y. Fifteen minutes sometime?”

Or join one community where people are creating, learning, and getting better.

Place: Change Your Environment

Change one thing about where you spend your time.

Work from a co-working office or a new coffee shop. A place where people are building.

Or change what you consume.

Swap one podcast for something that focuses on one of the 5 P's.

Replace social media scrolling with a newsletter or YouTube video that teaches you something.

Small shift.

Different environment.

You can’t work on all five P’s at once.

You'll burn out and quit.

But you can pick one today.

Win the day.

Then tomorrow, pick again.

The point isn't perfection. It's progress.

One good day stacked on another good day builds a good path.

AI is rewriting the rules.

Your job won't protect you. But your path will.
