I will be forever grateful for this space. It is the BEST thing to have — but my real turning point was 6 years ago, when I got my first remote job.
Before that, I was commuting 90 minutes daily just to travel, and was always exhausted after my 9-5.
Now I work from this exact setup, run a business and create content alongside it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — remote work is about reclaiming your time and energy to build what matters to you, and for that I’ll always strongly recommend this path.
If you’re trying to land your first remote role (or level up to a better one), Final Round AI has been a game-changer for people in my community, with its interview copilot and more.
I don’t talk about this often, but my first startup failed. 😮💨
It was called Bounty Tasker (I removed it from the App Store but you can Google it) — a gamified to-do list. I was in love with the idea, and used it daily myself, but it took too long and required people I couldn’t afford.
In 2026, speed is the advantage.
With AI app builders, you can launch a prototype within MINUTES. That’s insane tbh. I’d build fast, validate early, and let the product prove itself.
Emergent is the most popular AI app builder in 2025, and it just got a huge funding boost stepping into the new year — you gotta try it out.
If you’ve been around here long enough, you’d know that one of the biggest reasons I am where I am now is because I had my remote job as a stepping stone.
My remote job paid more than decently, which could fund content creation as a hobby — but more importantly, the time I used to spend commuting and feeling drained now can be used productively to create content, improve myself, and even build something bigger.
Not everybody can just quit their job to chase their dreams — I was one of them. But the right job catapulted me into greater heights than ever before.
Start there. Start with the right job.

Appreciating the cozy minimal home office I have — a space where I can be more productive and at peace than ever.
Here's the real sneak peek though — I designed this wallpaper. Let me know how you like it — working on variations and arranging it to be launch-ready! 😌
I owe so much of where I am to my first remote job, which gave me the money, the time, and the flexibility to build an amazing business on the side.
For the 99% of us non-nepo babies, quitting simply isn’t an option — but getting an optimized job will be the first thing to help you get closer towards breaking the cycle.
To this day, I’m still rockin’ the same remote job.
Now the question is — will you start this year, or will it be the same ol’ same ol’?
2026 isn’t about grinding harder — it’s about choosing the right tools. All of these tools are personally curated by me to focus on giving you back either more time or more headspace to chase your dreams.
I genuinely think your life can change over the next year. From landing a higher-paying remote job, to launching your first startup, to creating content without the usual friction — each one on this list may remove a real bottleneck.
The biggest shift isn’t AI replacing people. It’s AI giving individuals leverage they never had before.

The holiday season always makes me appreciate my desk setup. ✨🌲
As the year closes, one thing I’m super grateful for is the massive setup overhaul that happened this year, courtesy of Secretlab.
Their Christmas sale just started, and I think it’ll be the best holiday gift you can get this year — time to kick back and enjoy some quality game time in the best setup.
Comment “sale” and I’ll send you the link to check out all the setup items! ✅
As someone who spends more than 10 hours in the home office daily, the Secretlab TITAN Evo chair and OTTO Leg Rest has really been an underrated blessing. They’re of amazing quality and comfort, and the lounging experience as well as ergonomic comfort helps SO much between my work days and late-night edits. 😌
As for the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL desk itself… it’s just one of those things that come with underrated peace of mind. The incredible cable management, the smooth sit/stand action, the ever so luxurious microsuede MagPad… the tidiness of this desk declutters my mind and the quality of this desk reminds me that my hard work can be really worth it sometimes.
This is the place where I do my 9-5 as well as where I create, and it’s been a blessing through and through.
Next year I’m likely upgrading my Mac to have faster editing, but aside from that, the home office setup feels great as is, especially with the latest Secretlab additions.
My remote job has been a real big blessing and I truly hope everybody gets to find a great opportunity like mine as a stepping stone for their future.
