#005: Years ago at the start of my journey to become the best version of myself, I came across a video clip of Robert Greene, author of the 48 Laws of Power and the 50th Law. In the video, he talks about an essay by this old dead white American guy named Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance. He said it was one of the most influential things he ever read. Thanks to Greene, it’s one of the most influential things I’ve ever read, and it still resonates deep inside my heart, mind, and soul to this day. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I hadn’t read it.
Last year, at one of the most epic parties I’ve thrown, I had the fortune of meeting someone who had this tattooed on his arm: Ne te quaesiveris extra. This Latin phrase means, "Do not seek outside yourself.” It’s the first line in that essay. I knew immediately this person had read it, and it blew my mind. Finally! It was like love at first sight. Someone who knows. That someone was Andreas Varsakopoulos!
This Greek-American God came to Korea, started off as an English teacher in the countryside, to later serve on a panel in one of the most popular programs ever broadcasted on TV, 비정상회담 or Abnormal Summit. We talk about his journey, the struggles and the victories. What self-reliance means to us, how doors can open for us at the right time when we apply ourselves, and realizing our purpose and potential.

#064: This is the most amazing time to be alive in human history, especially for Asian societies, and especially for Asian-Americans and diaspora worldwide. There's never been more opportunity. We're experiencing a new unprecedented era and advances in every single field of human endeavor. Peace and prosperity, industry, technology, culture, finance, art, music, spirituality, adventure.
If the First Renaissance took place in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century, then is the Second Renaissance -- Trinaissance? -- taking place in Asia? This is the Asian Century. If you're Asian, if you're diaspora, there's never been a better time to be alive, with more opportunities for success, fulfillment, impact, growth, evolution.
What about your Personal Renaissance?
The rebirth of your heart, mind, and soul?
I've experienced several rebirths in my life.
From being damned to being baptized and saved as a believer in Christ.
To losing my faith entirely and surrendering to nihilism.
To starting a new life in Korea to find myself and build a new identity.
To starting a new career as a copywriter & podcaster, to fulfill the purpose of my life.
From paradigm to paradigm.
If you're reading this, if you can understand this, then you know what it means. You have immense potential.
YOU ARE THE RENAISSANCE!

#034: “If you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice.” - Sam Ovens
In this episode I talk about getting rid of material possessions and hobbies associated with them. I’m giving more and more stuff up in the pursuit of the actualization of my dreams. I talk about them in my own stream-of-consciousness way.
It’s about being as minimalist as I can, cutting out distractions. I’m becoming lean, mean, frugal and focused on the dream.

#010: Episode 10! I’m in the double digits now, with over 500 downloads, thank you for all who’ve tuned in with me thus far and those of you who are just joining. I’ve been on my grind these days, rest assured I have a ton of content coming your way, it’s just gonna take a cheeky bit of time. So stay tuned.
Eric Z Yang does virtual summits making six-figures a year, and he’s only 24. This guy was born and raised in Paris, went to community college in California, started his own successful business and is now rocking the digital nomad life in Bangkok! This guy is a GAWD m8 and a true inspiration for young entrepreneurs and Asian dudes everywhere.
Here are some takeaways
- Go for the ask. Don’t be afraid.
- For getting a great gift for someone, the edge you have over anyone is ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
- You gotta know the Five Love Languages, your own way and other people’s ways of receiving and giving love. I love to show and receive love in all five ways, and adapt according to the relationship.
- Don’t feel guilty for the ask, or for selling something. We talk about having the right intentions vs expectations. Don’t do something good for someone always EXPECTING to get something in return. Just treat people with the right intentions and do your best. Spread intent as much as possible, and give as much as possible, without intention.
- “Nobody owes you anything in life, businesswise, romantically, or financially."
- Be a great guy, just to be a great guy. Not just to get money, or get laid.
- Don’t spend your time networking with babies. Try to surround yourself with people are higher than you.
- The potential for the virtual summit industry. Anyone can dive into it right now!
- Being a knowledge broker. You can build authority just by being a knowledge broker, not an original content creator. That’s actually what I’m doing! Not only am I making original content, but offering a menagerie of different characters, ideas, and stories on this platform, for a specific audience, you.
- If a bum like me can do it, so can you!
- IF YOU WANNA DO A VIRTUAL SUMMIT, NOW’S THE TIME TO DO IT!
- Find people who are journey oriented, who appreciate the climb and share experiences with you that you can look back on together.
Eric is amazing, not only because he’s brought tens of thousands of people around the world to virtual summits that have made him hundreds of thousands of dollars, but that he’s on his own awesome journey to reach his own personal summit, with all the meaningful relationships and experiences along the way.
I’m on my own journey to my own personal summit. What is your personal summit? What is your dream high point?
How do you want to get there? There’s no better time than now. Let’s climb this journey together!

Happy birthday America!
Thanks to all you MAIM TIMERS, we finally reached over 5000 downloads for MAIM TIME! This is a big milestone. Every download counts. You count.
I count, but I didn't always think I did.
10 years ago, I tried to take my own life. I'm glad I didn't, because then I wouldn't be talking to you right now.
Today, I'm 30 years old. I'm officially no longer a twenty-something.
It was an amazing decade. I'm grateful for every year of life up until now.
ODESZA - Boy
So as I do every year, I'm going to go stream of consciousness on a buncha stuff:
Identity.
Korea.
America.
Freedom.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

#067: "Be the hero of your own story."
Nobody's going to take charge of your life but you. No one can be the hero of your own journey, but you. You write your own story. You're not the mistakes of your past. You're not all your failures.
Anybody can do this. Even if you don't get your ultimate dream of what you want, you open up doors for something else. You can be proud and have satisfaction in who you are and what you're doing.
Struggle is an essential part to your journey in life. Without struggle or challenge, it's meaningless. Overcoming yourself and obstacles is the great reward in and of itself.
Never give up. You can do it.
See, I'm living proof. In spite of all challenges in my life, I'm doing it. I'm working. I'm becoming disciplined. I'm becoming more focused. I'm getting better everyday.
Again, anyone can choose to turn their life around. Doesn't mean you'll be a billionaire, a famous artist or this and that. But the journey itself is rewarding and valuable, rich in lessons, pride, glory, and happiness. Fulfillment is there for all. If I can do it, so can you.

#063: Six exits and however many millions earned and burned later... what does it all mean? What do you do when you reach "success"?
What do you do when you're BURNED OUT?
How do you stay young?
What's the secret?
Chillionaire Mindset Coach for Burnt-out Over-Achievers Seibo Knows!
I LOVED THIS CONVERSATION!
THIS EPISODE IS A PROPER GOLD MINE, M8!!!
We are on FIRE. We are GLOWING with energy.
We want what's best for you to manifest your dreams into reality and then transcend!
We go deep and hard about some esoteric sheeeeiiiiiit.
(Or maybe not deep and harrrrd enough?)
What do you think? Is Seibo full of crap? AM I FULL OF CRAP?
Tune in and find out!
(Ladies, there's a moment or 2 where we talk about something sexual, please don't be grossed out or offended. We love you!)
We touch upon a ton of amazing things:
- Can you hustle your way as an achiever while lowering your stress to stay young, and be more effective?
- Self-awareness on one's journey - Seibo's where Maim wants to be, but Maim's not quite there yet and that's okay. Maim is exactly where he needs to be, and with that self-awareness he can appreciate and be grateful for the moment and stage he's in now. You can do the same.
- Climbing Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs to transcend it(?)
- Not rushing to get to the next level in the videogame of life -- not as fast as possible, but going through as thoroughly as possible in order to be better equipped and wiser for the final boss
- What happens when you "skip" the achiever stage and become a hippy seeking enlightenment right out of college? (Spoiler alert: You crash on Seibo's couch like a cheeky bum and realize you've been missing out on that part of life lol)
- Doing things like becoming a successful CEO out of something simple and deep like fear, or like a sense of not belonging
- Are you spending a buncha money out of actual generosity or because you want people to like you and you want to look like a hotshot?
- What sort of mindset is beneficial to you on the way to achieving your goals?
- What sort of paradigms are out there for you?
- What sort of immense benefits for meditation are there for you?
- We talk about Psycho-Cybernetics of course lol
- Who are you more likely to listen to, some hippy who doesn't have experience in the 3D-real-business-world, or a spiritual coach whose been running 3 companies for 3 years longer than he needed?
- In order to understand the metaphysical and esoteric, you have to first grasp the physical / material 3D world. It's all in stages.

#061: I'm quitting my main job that I've been working for 8 years to pursue a full-time freelance copywriting career. From April 2022, I'll basically be totally running my own business, pitching and closing leads, working on projects, building my ever-increasing portfolio, and STACKING PAPER.
That’s right, I’m deluding myself into thinking I know more than I actually do and DUNNING-KRUGERING MY WAY TO SUCCESS! Woohoo! I'mma becum the Mfkin' Dunning-Kruger of Copywriters, m8!
Does this mean I'm totally rich and successful and all that sheeeeiiiit? NO. But it's a huge step in that direction, and I'm just getting started.
This means:
- No more daily 1-hour commutes, 2 times a day, adding up to 10+ hours of commute time a week. I get that time back.
- I can set my own schedule to work, and have even more freedom than I already did.
- I can work from a laptop at a café on the other side of the country by a beach like one of those digital gonads or whatever they're called, as long as I has INTERNETZ. I can work almost anywhere in the world if I so choose! Doesn't mean I'm leaving Korea anytime soon, but it's awesome to know that I can do it if I want.
- I'm that much closer to living that "4-Hour Workweek" ideal. Not that I'd only work 4 hours, but that I'd have the freedom to do whatever I want with my time.
- I'm able to get paid more doing something I'm interested in and good at, which is writing content and ads for blockchain/crypto projects, whitepapers, e-commerce products & services, see the back-end of interesting businesses and industries, and so on.
- I'll have way more time and resources to devote to MAIM TIME! In fact, I never have to monetize this show if I don't want to. Why?
- I can make more than enough money I need for the rest of my gawd-man life, whenever and wherever I am.
This is the most exciting time of my life. I'm in a critical period of transition personally, financially, spiritually.
How did I get here? Where do I begin?
How can this help you in your own personal journey towards what you see as "success"?
Tune in and SEE WHAT TIME IT IS!
