Will a new direction help my subscribers?
I am pondering the best way to direct my subscriber through this self-reflection.
Introduction
We live in a new world and many of you are all over the place:
Chasing Money
Chasing Crypto
Chasing the latest SaaS
Chasing Google Trends
Chasing the latest Vibe-Coding Video
Chasing the latest AI LLM
Chasing the AI Agent Trends
When you look deeper, you find a common thread.
And no, it’s not chasing.
It’s not AI.
It’s not the need for resolution or fortitude or emotional support.
The answer’s always been in our faces the entire time.
And it has two sides.
Primes and Peaks.
Prime Environments
These are the large and colossal moments in our lives that leave those potpourri ideas of our past:
Falling in love
Getting your first job
Getting your first paycheck
Selling your first start-up
Making 200x on your first Crypto
Having your first child
Discovering the 80s and 90s
Revisiting your favorite TV Series
We call them Prime because they are instrumental to our growth.
Peak Environments
Peaks are what they sound like.
The apex constructs, whether mental, experimental, or physical, that define us.
Those fleeting moments, always experienced internal, that resonate with us.
This is why we come to the movies.
This is why we purchase smartphones.
This is why we vibe-code.
And this is defined in one word.
Transcendence.
So, what’s the difference?
Primes maintain our path and are external.
Peaks build and conform our reality and are internal.
Conclusion
Primes and Peaks are the essential ingredients of another framework - The Heroic Journey.
Together, these form covalent bonds that push us to excel, expand, and discover another reality.
