Building in public. Sober 8.5 years. Don't take it too seriously - remember everything's made up anyway.

Everything in the world is gloriously meaningless.

"Hustle culture is toxic," everyone agrees.

opens laptop at 11pm
sets 5am alarm
buys a journal to track their habits.

Nah.....not today, Satan.

[Alan Watts 📖 | Philosophy & Timeless Wisdom ✍️ @AlanWattsQuot]

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.

And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

The audacity of capitalism to make me feel guilty for wanting to just… sit here.

In the sun.
With my dog.

Doing absolutely nothing of economic value.

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

@ibuprod Absolutely right bro. And this is the only way to keep it sustainable too. Otherwise we burnout as we're doing it for the wrong reasons!

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

Hustle culture is basically:
“ignore your body, your mind, your relationships…
and maybe one day you can relax”

mad plan tbh

4 years in Vietnam.

Got married.
Built businesses.
Made lifelong friends.

Came with a suitcase.
Leaving with a family.

We'll miss you, Vietnam 🇻🇳

Turned 40.

At 30 I was obsessed with where I should be by now.

Comparing myself to people I didn't even want to be like.

Somewhere in my 30s I started putting things down.

The drinking. The ego. The idea that my worth was tied to how busy I looked.

@natbrunell Hey! We're building something that might help with this. https://t.co/TJfYYRWgbB

Beta launch last week. Happy to chat more about what you're after and I can let you know if we can do it 😁

The grass is greener where you water it.

@Elyasnoor01 @hispanicnomad Yeh. There are no rules in place against it. Many people have been doing it for years. There are Vietnamese companies that arrange same day boarder runs too

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

@Elyasnoor01 @hispanicnomad I arrived and got a work permit as I worked for a VN based software biz.(2 yr visa) Since starting my own biz I'm basically a digital nomad. (Like most expats in Da Nang) 3 month visas. Every 3 months leave and come back. Sounds a hassle but I tend to go on hol every few months!

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

@ibuprod @lolo_IRL @Consort_Tech @EthereumDenver @base @solana My guy!! Letssss goooo. Excited for this 😍

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

@Elyasnoor01 @hispanicnomad Vietnam would align quite closely to this breakdown. I've been here for 4 years. 1 in Saigon, 3 Da Nang and absolutely love it. Great place to work remotely. Not as 'expatty' as many SE Asian places (huge bonus for me as Vietnamese are wonderful people, culture is fantastic)

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

@ctherien6 Amazing. Congrats buddy. One day at a time

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

@SobrietyITND 💯

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

Life should be lived today. Not once you've earned the right to enjoy it.

Your worth has nothing to do with how busy you are.

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

I don't work weekends. I don't reply to messages at 10pm.

I don't glamorise being busy.

[Sean Delaney @sgnsun]

I don't have a solution for the whole system. I'm not that smart.
I just know I'm not going to feed it where I can help it.
