Founder, Write To Know You
According to Gallup's latest research, only 34% of people worldwide are thriving. That means two out of every three people you know aren't living up to their potential - not because they lack talent, but because they're running on default settings installed by systems that were never designed for them.
I was part of the 66% for nearly three decades. The education system convinced me I couldn't learn. Society told me my diverse interests made me scattered and unreliable. I spent years apologizing for traits that would later become my greatest strengths.
Then I accidentally conducted an 82-week longitudinal study on human potential optimization. What started as 15 minutes of daily writing became documented proof that what we call "limitations" are often just misconfigured systems waiting for the right upgrade.
The results? I went from believing I was "education-resistant" to becoming insatiably curious. From thinking I was "scattered" to recognizing I'm a polymath operating by design, not accident. From running on society's faulty code to building my own operating system for human potential.
Here's what I discovered: most people treat self-knowledge like hoping for random insights. But systematic self-optimization, what I call Write To Know You, transforms personal development from passive reflection into active intelligence gathering. It's the difference between hoping you'll accidentally discover your capabilities and deliberately building the system to access them.
Transform passive self reflection into active intelligence gathering.
“I would recommend WTKY because of the personal insight I gained on a daily basis. Being able to look back at the week’s writing and looking at the themes. Applying those themes is invaluable. Not only is this a good practice or meditation, it’s like tracking calories. It’s a history of all of those things swirling in your head. If you want to get to know yourself better and have real data to make changes, this is a great way to do it.”
“We have so many things going on. A lot of rushing. A lot of busy. By getting those ideas out of your head onto a piece of paper, it really gives you a place to start. If you don’t process that stuff, you are probably on the hamster wheel. If you are okay with being on the hamster wheel, keep running. If not, maybe start writing.”
“Jeremy is one of the most encouraging group leaders. Everyone in the group identified with him really well.”
““I saw some through-lines that were playing a big part in my day to day life. I was being judgmental in a lot of areas. If I didn’t write about that, I don’t think I would have had that awareness.”

“You start getting these epiphanies from your writing. You are getting thoughts out of your head. Some really amazing things come from it that I totally wasn’t expecting.”
