Nobody asked for the second one either, or the thirtieth. That's the whole trick. Nobody cares about you until the day they do, and that day only comes to people who kept going while nobody cared.
You don't learn by thinking about it. You learn by doing it badly, then a little less badly, and doing that fast enough that the bad versions pile up behind you instead of in your head.
Where you start doesn't matter. How fast you iterate does.
The planners are still planning. The rationalizers have a very good reason. The careful ones are saving up for a retirement they'll spend wondering why they never did it.
You get one life. Fail loudly. Die broke if you have to.
Take the leap of faith if you want to, and don't if you don't want to.
Not jumping into the unknown while your entire being is screaming at you to jump is the worst mistake you'll ever make.
Today, i'm moving into a new apartment in Tbilisi with MJ and another member of the Vrill Club
We'll be here for Six months minimum.
We've decided to make Georgia our base while we build Vrillerism and Vrill Club into something much bigger than what they are right now.
This is the first time i’ve had a place I can call home in over 2 years.
Until now it’s just been hostels, airbnbs, hotels, friends cribs and employee housing, whatever I could make work.
I took the leap of faith in January last year and bought a one way ticket to Thailand while making $150 dollars online with zero savings and 7k of credit card debt.
Sounds retarded. because it is. But that’s exactly why it worked.
the possibility of something better was more appealing than my current job at the time, a lift operator at a ski resort…
It wasn’t until I was in a position where I had to make myself figure something out that the magic started happening.
Freelance gigs.
Expanding the brand.
Growing the Vrill Club.
Meeting the right people.
None of that would have happened if I hadn’t taken the leap.
God will guide you towards your purpose in life, but only after you say fuck it and take that leap of faith.
The process is the good part.
Vrillerism was never supposed to just be an Instagram page.
The goal has always been to create something people can actually live.
A philosophy.
A culture.
A network.
A community of people who want more from life than the “normal” path laid out in front of them.
I’ve been in Georgia for almost 1 month now.
Already connected with two Vrill Club members out here.
One day, I decided to put on my Instagram story asking if anyone else who follows Vrillerism was in Tbilisi.
Plenty of ppl swiped up:
An English kid who showed us how to get an apartment.
A Kiwi who brought us shooting.
A French guy who’s been living here for 8 months and gave us some guidance.
Your network is truly your net worth.
And none of this would’ve happened if I hadn’t taken that leap.
It’s better to be broke in a foreign country chasing your dreams than stuck in a comfortable job telling yourself you’ll do it “one day.”
that day never comes.
What’s the worst that can happen?
You’ll die.
that’s gonna happen anyway.
Life goes on, until it doesn’t.
So make the most of it while you’re here.
Life is electric and then it’s over.
We aren’t meant to go through this life alone.
We are all cells that make up the body of God.
Convince a few of your good friends to buy a one-way ticket to a foreign country and go on an adventure.
You don’t have friends?
Find them online.
Find your people.
Find your tribe.
They are out there.
Share your authentic self with the world and watch what happens.
If you put your energy out into the ether, you can attract the right people from anywhere in the world.
You live in the best time in history because you are alive here and now.
Your soul incarnated into modernity for a reason.
So use what’s in front of you without getting used by it.
You have unlimited opportunity at your fingertips, so use it.
Surfing the Kali Yuga is about using modernity to your advantage.
You can learn anything, meet anyone, and do almost anything online.
The purpose of knowledge is not more knowledge.
It’s action.
Take the leap.
You figure it out by moving.
Three years ago, the first Vrill Club post went up.
Two years ago, the Instagram account hit 1k followers.
A year ago, Vrill Club was a Discord channel with 5 members.
Today, it’s a worldwide network with members in over 30 countries.
We’ve had meetups across 3 continents, and we’re in the process of setting up bases for members around the world.
Vrill Club members worldwide
And in a few weeks, many of our members will be coming out to Georgia for a meetup here.
And still, this is only just the beginning.
The goal isn’t to build an audience of millions of people sitting behind their phones consuming content.
The goal is to build something alive.
A network of people spread across the world who can actually call each other when they land in a new country.
Over the next six months, we’re going to be building like crazy.
New content. New brands. A Vrill app. schizo adventures.
If any of this sounds like something you’re interested in, you can learn more here.
The Vrill Club is a private members' club of 120+ people in 30+ countries. We've met up in São Paulo, Da Nang, Sweden, London, and we're in Tbilisi right now.
