Your weekly dose of Alluviance!
That rush you get after closing a huge deal? It feels incredible.
Until it doesn’t.
Until the high fades and you’re already chasing the next one.
Happiness is nice. It's fine. But it’s fleeting. You hit quota early. Land that dream client. Maybe even start a new position or get that big promotion. And for a moment, you feel like you’ve made it. But then it disappears. And the chase begins again.
Fulfillment doesn’t fade like that. It’s more than a fleeting emotion. Fulfillment is a state of being. It comes from living in alignment with a deeper purpose. It’s fueled by growth, meaningful work, and service to others. No bad quarter or lost deal can take it away.
Here’s the real flex: build fulfillment into your daily life. When you do that, happiness stops being the finish line or the carrot on a stick. It becomes a byproduct of how you show up in the world. Chasing happiness is a game you'll never win, but cultivating fulfillment will give you something that no achievement can take away. A deep, unshakable sense of purpose that lasts far beyond the moment.
In just one week, we’re hosting our 10th retreat, and this one is going to be next level. Costa Rica. 40+ incredible humans. Deep work. Real breakthroughs. The kind of thing that doesn’t just give you a temporary high. It shifts the way you operate for good.
If you’re not joining us this time, watch what happens in Costa Rica next week. See the breakthroughs. The connections. The shifts. And then ask yourself: why not me?
The Costa Rica immersion has been sold out for a while, and now we’re almost at capacity for our next immersion in May back in Austin. If you’re serious about leveling up and want to do it before 2H 2025, let’s talk now. Once I land in Costa Rica, my focus is 100% there, and I won’t be thinking about this again until it’s probably too late.
Chasing the next high is easy. We all know where that road leads. But building lasting fulfillment? That’s the game that changes everything.
Once you experience it, you’ll never want to go back.

"My Need To Be Liked..."
I thought being liked would help me sell more, turns out it was my biggest weakness...

"Do not ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." – Howard Thurman
