I help creators overcome doubt, build momentum, and practice their way into a meaningful life, using my Front Yard Kung Fu method.

@elonmusk It’s a cold world. Why would anyone want to bring more children into this gladiator fight we call a society.

The food is poison, everything costs too much, and the people who can change it don’t care enough to do anything.

Maybe it’s time we wrap it up.

[Corey Sweet @CoreySweet]

Love something enough to not care what other people think about it.

You’re going to struggle and fail more than you win.

That’s just a statistical fact of life.

If you can’t figure what to make content about, stop waiting for the highlights and start showing the work.

Feeling doubt and uncertainty is part of being human.

Believing that doubt is a choice.

I’m not starting my own church.

I’m starting my own food forest / zen / art retreat ashram.

There’s a difference.

This is me discharging all my post publish anxiety in the garden lol.

I’m grateful for this space and for the understanding that labor is maintenance. For the land and for the body

If I’m gonna accept a label, I like “polyphonic” more than multi hyphenate.

Many voices feels more accurate than a list of things with dashes between them.

A commitment to imperfect action is the best foundational strategy you can adopt.

At some point, you have to stop reading and just say “fuck it.”

Action teaches what books can’t.

The last step was to collect some sweet potato slips from around the yard and plant them in their new home.

Abundance is the default frequency of nature.

Food is free.
Permaculture is the way.

Vibes from the homestead.

Today we made a sweet potato mound.

First I carved out this little corner of the food forest, right between the Plantains and Jaboticaba.

[Corey Sweet @CoreySweet]

Then I added some of the recently cut plantain trunks at the bottom. They’ll add a lot moisture and nutrients as they compost.

I covered it all with a mix of soil, leaves, and composted horse manure. Then a coat of mulch to keep it from drying out.

[Corey Sweet @CoreySweet]

Did you fail, or did you succeed at finding ways that don’t work?

Collect data, iterate, make progress.

Thats the price you pay for the life you want to live.

Being anti-AI is not a business model.

It might win you a few anti-establishment customers,
but that’s the ceiling.

You don’t get extra points
for competing with one arm tied behind your back.

[Corey Sweet @CoreySweet]

You don’t always get to know exactly what you’re building while you’re building it.

The important part is to stay committed to the process.

Things that aren’t working FOR you, might be working ON you.

[Corey Sweet @CoreySweet]

These days, employment is a privilege. But don’t let a job kill your ambition for something bigger.

Some work helps you survive.
Other work helps you thrive.

Know the difference.

[Corey Sweet @CoreySweet]

If you’re not practicing in public, youre hiding 90% of your story.

The experiments, mistakes, and iterations in the middle is where all the growth happens. And that might be what your people need to see to start building real connection.

Show your work. Publish your process.

Are you falling into the rabbit hole, or is the rabbit hole falling into you?

If you understand how traps work, you know there’s a thin line between consumption and captivity.
