I’m a 27-year-old Indian podcaster.
This year, I made more money than I ever thought possible.
And I did it while:
• Not having a morning routine
• Drinking black coffee on an empty stomach
• (Sometimes) rolling out of bed 10 mins before a podcast
• Drinking multiple hot-toddys and penicillin cocktails
So I don’t understand this obsession the new wave of “internet entrepreneurs” have with killing your vices.
No sugar. No alcohol. No Netflix. No anything.
I mean, sure – do it if you want to.
But there’s absolutely no reason to think you NEED to.
There is a world where you can have FUN and still win.
There is a world where you can succeed WITH your vices.
True power isn’t in eliminating them.
It’s in controlling them.
It’s knowing when to indulge and when to pull back.
I’m not here for the “perfect monk CEO” narrative.
I’m here to prove you can succeed anyway.
Because if you need a sanitized life to achieve greatness,
How strong are you, really?
