47 years old and I started both BJJ and Spanish this year.

Oh, and became a dad for the first time.

I'm so glad you made the move over here, Mike. Becoming a writer on Substack was the best decision I made in 2022 (and I made some good ones!). Your mindset skills have helped me to be where I am today, which is a very good place. I hope you stay awhile. I thank you sincerely for being just exactly the beautifully complicated human that you are!

Last year, I discovered "preply," and started using it for language learning. Maybe, I've been living under a rock, but, I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. For $40/hr, I spend an hour one-on-one with a French tutor, living in France. No driving needed, no waste of time being in a classroom...I'm moving quickly from intermediate to an advanced level. Point being, look around, there are incredible opportunities to learn new skills.

So much good stuff in here I will be re-reading a few times this weekend - fired up for new skill acquisition in 2023!

Subbed! Long time fan and loving the content. I'll definitely be joining Toastmasters in 2023 as public speaking is something I can definitely improve on.
