VRILL CUB

Ambition compounds. Pursuing the uncommon alone is not worthwhile. Surround yourself with the right people and everything changes.

WEEKLY MEDITATION

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Maybe. If true, am I also the average of the of the five feelings I spend most time in? Am I also the average of the five philosopical frameworks I spend most time thinking about?

Inputs are important. Junk food is as real as junk content. Brain rot is real. They just proved the brain shrinks while doom scrolling. Junk people are also real.

Make sure that the inputs you allow to enter you body, mind and spirit are things that move you toward who you are. Be a true essentialist with inputs. I used to focus on the output, what I create, what I'm striving for. Now I focus on inputs. Energy. Vibes. And, guess what, my output is better. More aligned.

Input → Output

Focus on the right (left) side of the equation.

VRILL INSIGHTS

THE VRILL CLUB

Two years ago I came up with the idea of the Vrill Club with nothing but an idea and invite link.

Today, it’s about to become something much more.

Next month, me and MJ will be locking the f*ck in in Brazil with one mission: to make The Vrill Club the best community in the world and turn Vrillerism into a truly global brand.

I see the past two years as a refinement period, where I kept distilling and changing shape of the Vrill Club until where it is now.

It was never the right time to go all in on this because the idea was still forming in my mind. Until now.

Right now, the Club lives inside our Discord server, a space for me to share ideas directly with you guys.

A space for ideas, debates, and collaboration.

We talk God, culture, and vitality, build brands, trade, and create ways to escape the system. New ideas. New wins. New connections.

I want it to be a place for anyone to build and scale their own brands and projects alongside us.

Or anyone who wants to just connect directly with me and the team.

To me, Vrillerism isn’t just a brand.

It’s the thing I’m putting my heart and soul into. My life’s work.

The Vrill Club is my direct line to the people who see my vision.

I’m using it as a way to get real-time feedback on projects that me and the team are working on, such as expanding the Vrill Crew clothing brand, videos, edits, designs, and any other creative pursuits I’m working on.

I want to start growing this brand WITH my audience, not just for them, so those inside are directly a part of growing the Vrillerism brand.

The Vrill Club isn’t just staying online either; we have big visions for it in the near future: real-world meetups, renting entire Airbnbs together, dinners, going on some adventures, whatever we want, really. Freedom is the goal.

I still see the Vrill Club as being in the VERY early stages of what it’s gonna become soon and in the long term.

This will become something the world has never seen.

I’m going all in.
