No one sees the hard work you have put in. No one sees the sacrifices you have made. No one knows what you have been through. But you still keep going because you are a good person and that's what good people do, right?
Right?No, that's what got you here in the first place. You worked so hard but now you are running on your own fuel. You were not designed to run on fumes.You were designed to run on freedom.But you keep trying to escape by performing harder or by numbing the pain with social media or productivity apps or by becoming a Stoic.None of these things work. They are an Anechoic Hell Chamber™.And they will lead you nowhere.

Look, you're not an imposter. But you feel like one. And I bet I know why.I bet you believe the lie.The lie that your work gives you value.I believed that lie for a very long time. But I found a way out of it. And it means you have to dismantle the lie and look deep inside and become who you are, which is the Director of your own life instead of a Manager to the life that you are "supposed" to have.That's why I wrote Think Like a Director™.

Think Like a Director™ was built by a guy who has boots on the ground.Pretend you have ten children in a blended family which means you are dealing with emotions and kids and school and you have a demanding day job too. Then add onto that football practice, gymnastics, orchestra, driving lessons, business travel, dentist appointments, camping trips, male pattern baldness, the time you broke your toe on a sewer pipe, and the hardest one of all which is potty training.I'm Max. That’s my reality and it’s a ton of fun.It also means I am the prime candidate for a badass Notion template or a Second Brain database. Or a 4 AM ice bath and a bunch of quotes from dead Roman Emperors. I mean, how else would anyone hope to have a chance, right?Wrong.Templates and extra brains and ice baths remind me of that Mike Tyson quote about "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."You're getting punched in the face.
Drop the hacks.
Start Thinking Like a Director.

START DIRECTING NOW:

Think Like a Director is a 50-page philosophy of work that translates a 6,000 year-old tradition into the modern workplace and then gives you a framework to live it out.But it's way more than just a Field Manual. It's a hammer that smashes the cage you have built for yourself and helps you become who you are.Available in Kindle or Audio format. Max reads the Audio version like you’re having a beer together.
