The Mindful Creator | I talk about mindset, creativity, & content writing | Building The Mindful Creation Blueprint

I wasn’t supposed to be here.

Five and a half years ago, my life was going the other way...

I was: 

🔹Drinking every day
🔹Running from myself

And one night alcohol took my right eye in a freak accident

That was my wake-up call.

I had two choices: 

1. Keep spiraling downwards (and potentially die) 
2. Rebuild myself

I chose to rebuild.

I got sober. 

Which forced me to face the sides of myself I’d been running from. 

And in the process, I discovered something most people never realize...

Your identity shapes your whole reality. 

Who you believe you are determines what you're capable of creating. 

That lesson became the foundation of everything I do now.

When I started my consulting business...

I was in college studying audio engineering.

Just a normal guy who had to figure it out from scratch.

Since then... 

I built my consulting business to six figures organically on LinkedIn.

And I've watched my clients break through the same walls I had broken through in my own life.

Today, my mission is simple:

To help established leaders and creatives get to $20K/m by doing the inner work combined with the business work.

Because I know what it feels like to lose everything.

And I also know what it takes to build yourself back stronger.

Delusional self belief...

That's where it all started for me.

Not everyone is going to support you.

Not everyone is going to believe you can do it.

(Some people might secretly want you to fail).

One of the few things you can control though...

Is betting on yourself.

Helping you master → yourself, value creation, & productizing your knowledge

If what you're working on doesn't:

🔹Fire you up
🔹Get you obsessed
🔹Excite you when you wake up

You're headed in the wrong direction. 

You can think it's idealistic for me to say it.

You can even disagree...

But I know one thing for certain:

Life is too short to spend your time doing sh*t you don't care about.

I don’t want an easy life.

I want a meaningful one.

Easy now gets harder as you go.

A meaningful life is the exact opposite.

It’s hard now, but gets easier later. 

That’s the trade most people never consciously choose.

If you’re even thinking about this…

You’re already playing a different game than most people.

People who feel unfulfilled usually aren’t lazy…

They’re misaligned.

They never chased excellence in what they’re meant to do.

(Their life’s task)

So they stay stuck going through the motions.

Working on things they don’t enjoy and aren’t passionate about. 

This is why I’m so committed to chasing mastery in what I love. 

And why I believe we all need to be. 

When you remove distractions and commit to one path long enough…

Meaning and fulfillment come naturally. 

Yes, being a polymath is important.

Yes, having multiple skills is important.

But you need to go deep into 1 or 2 things.

Mastery requires it.

I never mastered my early passions as a kid.

I got above average…

Then moved onto the next thing that excited me.

Every time.

Now that I’m older, I see why.

Magic, breakdancing, basketball, rapping…

They were my training wheels.

Looking back at all those passions I was able to see similarities. 

They were all rooted in:

🔹Self-expression
🔹Technical skill
🔹Performance

And best of all they were permissionless. 

They all led me here to creating value online and productizing my knowledge. 

And now I’m chasing mastery for the first time in my life, and it feels damn good. 

So this is my reminder to you…

Yes, go wide in a bunch of things, follow your curiosity and interests.

They’ll help you realize what you need to go deep in.

In the digital age, nothing is more important than mastering:

🔹 Yourself 
🔹 Value creation
🔹 Productizing your knowledge

Yourself because there's never been more distractions.

Value creation because the internet allows everyone to build their own business. 

Productizing your knowledge because to reach as many people as possible... you need scale.

Tactics don't mean sh*t if you don't become the personal capable of getting the outcome you want.

Ever since I was a kid I was chasing mastery without even knowing it.

My first passion was magic. 

I wanted to be a magician so badly after my uncle did some magic tricks for me and my friends at one of my birthday parties. 

I would practice in front of the mirror for hours every single day after school.

Just me working on my slight of hand and all the angles. 

I even pretended my reflection was the person I was performing for. 

Then I found breakdancing when I was 10. 

It opened a whole new perspective for me on self-expression.

It was creative, technical, and performance based (just like magic).

There was always another move to learn, or another way to do a move that I’d never seen anyone else do. 

It kept me hooked. 

Then a couple years later I found my greatest love…

Basketball.

It consumed me.

And when I say consumed me… I mean I was absolutely obsessed. 

I woke up at 5 AM before school to practice.

I slept with my ball.

I trained at lunch between classes, after school…

Pretty much anytime I wasn’t eating or in class,

I was practicing. 

This has been a trend my whole life.

After basketball it was rapping…

Then 3.5 years ago, I found online entrepreneurship and never looked back. 

Here’s why I’m telling you all this…

Last year something felt off in my business.

Which is strange because the year before in 2024 I:

🔹Hit 6 figures
🔹Thought I was building my dream biz
🔹Helped a lot of people get clients on LinkedIn

So I couldn’t quite put my finger on what didn’t feel right…

All I knew was I wasn’t inspired to write content anymore.

I didn’t get fired up to start work in the morning like I did the year before. 

My obsessiveness over my craft pretty much disappeared. 

And my business took the hit. 

After a lot of self reflection and brutal honesty with myself,

I realized what happened...

Abby struggled with her writing business for 3 years before we started working together.

Before we met she:

🔹Had no strategy or repeatable systems
🔹Offered every type of copy you can think of
🔹Only signed a couple one off ‘project’ clients
🔹Didn’t feel like a business owner who ran an actual business
🔹Was ready to give up because she thought maybe it wasn’t for her

Now in less than 10 months she:

🔹Feels like a real business owner
🔹Is working with 6 clients she’s aligned with
🔹Has a specialized offer built for recurring revenue
🔹Has a system and strategy she can wake up and execute on without guessing
🔹LOVES what she does

So if you’re a leader or creative who wants mastery over 3 key areas:

💎 Yourself
💎 Value creation
💎 Productizing your knowledge

1962: When the Mountains Cried

This book has stories from a place you've never heard about. Maybe. 

A humble attempt to share the profound experiences of the native inhabitants of Tawang, located in Arunachal Pradesh, India, during the Indo-Sino War in 1962. 

Searching that spanned 14 years, reflects my unwavering commitment to this sensitive subject. My dad diligently located the individuals involved, taking utmost care with every aspect.

I meticulously edited and cross-verified the facts, ensuring the utmost accuracy. 

This becomes important because the narratives of people here have always been misunderstood and lesser known for a long time.

For this book, it's limited to the events of a War.

That led to things that wars bring.

I help consultants stand out & sign clients on LinkedIn using stories | Founder @dakrunner | Author & Filmmaker

You’re a top-tier consultant with a thriving business—but is your authority on LinkedIn keeping up?

You’ve built a remarkable career

but if your expertise isn’t visible online 
it’s as if it doesn’t exist at all.

You’ve earned your success but on LinkedIn 
you’re blending in when you should be leading the conversation

Your competitors—many with less experience
—are getting the attention you should be commanding.

Meanwhile, your expertise, insights, and authority aren’t being recognised. 
 
Every day, you’re missing out on becoming the go-to name in your industry, all because your personal brand isn’t shining where it matters most.

The solution?

It’s not about spending more time on LinkedIn. 

It’s about positioning your story in a way that grabs attention and builds respect.

I help fractional consultants like you craft strategic, authority-building content that positions you as an industry leader—without draining your time or energy.

Your name becomes synonymous with expertise in your field.  
When people think of your industry, they think of you  

Your reputation grows with every post, and you become the voice people turn to for insights and solutions. 

It’s more than visibility—you’ll have the authority and influence you’ve earned

You’ve worked too hard to stay invisible. 
The longer you wait, the more opportunities you miss. 

Let’s work together to make your LinkedIn presence match the reputation you’ve built.

Ready to take your brand to the next level? Let’s connect. 

My DMs are open, or book a call in my Featured section—I’ll handle the rest.
