Who Am I?

👋 Hey, I'm Blake!Thanks to the lessons you read in this newsletter I've gone from the lost nerdy kid to:

• Having a kid

• Marrying the popular girl

• Securing a $100,000/yr salary

I got tired of the fluffiness and bloat that overtook self-improvement. So I started DSTLLD, a publication with a dedication to filtering the signal from the noise.

You’ve Changed.
Your Growth Should Too.

• Dodge The Fluff

• Save Precious Hours

• Avoid Information Overload

• Gain Needle-Moving Wisdom

Before marriage and kids, you had time to optimize everything. Now? You just want to focus on what actually matters. Being the best version of yourself. Not for you, but for your family.

• You feel like you're falling behind

• You don’t want to abandon self-improvement.

• You can’t afford advice that wastes your time.

That's where DSTLLD comes in. Think of it as your private guide to the world of self-improvement.Building a family is one of the hardest (and most rewarding) journeys you can take, you can do hard things. Let’s make it easier.

DSTLLD is for you if you are tired of:

Not only can I say, "I've been there." I can say, "I'm there now!" As a young parent, I know how vital every spare hour is.You don't have time to read 2 books a month, listen to 10 hours of podcasts a week and watch 7 YouTube videos on a topic to learn the whole thing.DSTLLD aims to help you become a better person each week in 500 words or less, which means you should be able to read each post in 3.8 minutes.Put that bathroom break to better use than watching 13 TikTok videos.DSTLLD takes inspiration on easy readability from industry heavyweights like Tim Ferriss' 5-Bullet Friday or James Clears' 3-2-1 Thursday and mixes in one high leverage actionable takeaway each week.
