Your future will be determined by 3 things:
- The information you consume
- How you synthesize and convey that information
- Your ability to show up every day for years
If you master these 3, failure is almost impossible.
Becoming a great writer isn’t just about writing
It’s about:
- Living
- Reading
- Curating
- Remixing
- Creating
- Reflecting
- Capturing
- Combining
- Researching
Writing is not something you sit down and do for an hour a day.
It’s a way of life.

Writing is not something you sit down and do for an hour a day.
It’s a way of life.
The world is drowning in information and starving for wisdom.
Those who will be most rewarded will be those who:
- Consume quality info
- Curate and connect ideas
- Synthesize and present to others
The future belongs to the synthesizers and autodidactic learners.
The fastest way to learn anything is to teach it.
When you teach, you:
- Test your understanding
- Identify gaps in your thinking
- Uncover subconscious knowledge
The barrier of entry to teaching online is zero.
The vessel is writing.
The best writers are DJ’s with ideas
They research, curate, and combine ideas into a work of their own.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Take what’s working, mix, match, and recreate.
Why you need to write down every idea:
Ideas take up space in the mind.
When you transfer your ideas from your mind to paper or software, you free up space in your mind for more ideas.
If you want to become an idea machine, cultivate a bias for writing down every idea.
How to turn 1 piece of writing into 15 posts a week:
- Write a newsletter
- Turn it into a YT video and podcast
- Use the newsletter to write 21 short posts
- Post 3 times a day to all platforms (as posts or reels scripts)
- Plug your newsletter or YT under each to grow them
Writing has never been a more valuable skill:
- 5.3 billion people on the internet
- All content starts with writing
- All you need is a brain and a keyboard
- A written product scales infinitely
Learning to write can (and will) set you up for life.
You need a place to write down your ideas.
- A notebook
- A notes app
- A marker in your shower
- Post it notes all over your house
Don't trust your memory. Set reminders to check them often.
Don't let the ideas that impacted your life sit on the shelf collecting dust.
The first Kortex Writers Bootcamp is starting off strong!
We rolled out access to the app along with a short second brain course to 500 students.
We’re stoked the app has “made writing effortless” in such a short amount of time.
5 more weeks of writing ahead!
When you commit to a daily writing practice:
1. You think with clarity
2. Inspiration, ideas, & insight flow
3. You improve a high-value skill
It’s one of the best things you can possibly decide to do for yourself.
Write down the ideas that:
- Make you stop and think
- Make you curious to learn
- Make you change your mind
- Make you excited about the future
This is dopamine signaling that you've read something meaningful.
Save them somewhere safe and act on them immediately.
