How to Live a Grateful Life in a Fcked Up World
A Nine Week Road Map for Thriving Even When Life Feels Like a Dumpster Fire
The next cohort launches
Wednesday, May 28th 6:00-7:00pm PT.
The waitlist is now open.
Everyone knows gratitude is important - but nobody tells us how to get there
(especially when things are fcked)
The Grind Never Stops
It won't even let you slow down. We tell ourselves we operate better under pressure, but maybe that's only because we are constantly under pressure.
We Say We're Fine
Tell the truth, isn't that your answer to "How you doin'?" There's no place for us to hold all the shit that doesn't work, so we keep on filling out our gratitude journals, pretending we're fine, and hoping it all works out.
Life Work Balance is Bullshit
In reality, you only have one life. Maybe the problem is you're not present - i.e., when you're at work, you're thinking about being home, and when you're home, you're thinking about work.
Gratitude Made Simple: a Shortcut to Happiness
Time-tested, Proven, and Reliable
This free, nine-week online mindfulness training program is built for busy professionals looking to lower their stress and live a worry-free life.
Mindfulness is the Secret Weapon of High Performers
Tim Ferriss, author of Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers, found that over 80% of the world’s most successful individuals have regular mindfulness practices.
Your Road Map to a Grateful Life
We've broken it into three simple phases. In each phase, you'll learn recipes designed to help you move from feeling stressed, worried, or overwhelmed to living with clarity, gratitude, and joy.
Weeks 1-3: Laying the Foundation (Building Awareness & Presence)
- Cornerstone
Every great structure starts with a cornerstone. The breath is the constant that keeps us grounded, present, and connected no matter the chaos. - The Framework
Your body is always in the present moment, while your mind often wanders. Tuning into the body ensures stability, keeping you focused on what’s real instead of hypothetical. - Foundation of Connection
Success in real estate is built on relationships. When we shift from a transactional mindset to a relational one, we create deeper, more meaningful connections with clients and colleagues alike.
Weeks 4-6: Paving the Road (Integrating Mindfulness into Daily Life)
- Off the Cushion
Mindfulness isn’t about sitting still—it’s about how we engage with daily life. Bringing awareness to everyday actions ensures we show up fully in our work and relationships. - Rewriting the Contract
In real estate and life, interpretation is everything. By shifting our perspective, we take responsibility for the meaning we create and choose an empowering approach to challenges. - Focus & Flexibility
Just as a camera lens can zoom in on problems or possibilities, our focus determines our experience. We always have a choice about where to direct our attention.
Weeks 7-9: Getting on the Road (Sustaining Gratitude & Long-Term Growth)
- Cascading Wins
Gratitude expands when we recognize how many elements had to align for a single success. Seeing this interconnectedness shifts our mindset from scarcity to abundance. - Resilience in the Storm
Challenges are inevitable, but we don’t have to be thrown off course. Having a framework to navigate setbacks ensures we stay clear-headed and adaptable. - The Reciprocity of Success
True success is a cycle—when we act generously, we naturally access gratitude, and when we’re grateful, we’re more inclined to give. This final step explores how generosity and gratitude fuel each other in life and business.
🙌What other busy professionals have said about this free online training:
I am less reactive to things as they come up and am truly learning to be "okay" with what happens- trusting that life is unfolding perfectly. I have the strength, resilience, awareness, and connection to my intuition/ inner guidance to navigate through powerfully.

I am more aware and mindful in my daily activities. What I've appreciated the most so far was the conversation that we had that there are no mistakes - whatever is done is done and I go from there. I am paying more attention to my thoughts as thoughts, and am able to shift and let go of stressful or upsetting ones, and I am able to choose more neutral perceptions.

Senior Consultant
Aaron is a really great facilitator. This is the second meditation training I've participated in and by far the best. I have really loved the simple, relatable explanation of the practice, the guided practice, and - most of all - the opportunity to reflect, share, and ask questions. Aaron creates an environment friendly to growth and development that I expect most people who are curious learners would find warm and welcoming.

Let's Get Your Questions Answered
What if I’m already overwhelmed?
Great—you’re in the right place. These recipes are designed to fit into your life, not add to the chaos.
Only you will determine if this works for you.
The time commitment is a one-hour call weekly and 10-20 minutes of practice every day for nine weeks.
Isn’t Buddhism a religion?
Yes. It's also a philosophy that focuses on the practical, real-life application of Buddha’s teachings to achieve personal insight and understanding.
To whatever degree Buddhist thought enters this program, that's where we're looking and where we will have our attention.
There is nothing we will do that is intended to conflict with whatever religious or spiritual practices you bring with you.
How can you not charge for this program and what is dana?
Dana is a Pali word meaning generosity, and it's hard to imagine cultivating gratitude without also cultivating generosity.
I teach this course as an expression of generosity—I had this transformation into a world gratitude, and I want to give it away to anyone interested.
The idea of providing an opportunity for dana is to allow the participants to cultivate their generosity. At the end of the program, every participant can give any amount that feels right to them.
Nothing is expected, and participants are encouraged to look for themselves and determine the amount they feel comfortable giving (and which would cause no regret).
We will discuss this more on the application call as well.
How much work is it, really?
There are nine Zoom calls from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. PT on Wednesdays. You are asked to make at least six of these, and they are all recorded for you to watch what you miss (or rewatch).
You also commit to practicing between 10-20 minutes daily.
Is this a spiritual program?
There are lines between religion, spirituality, and consciousness that each individual must draw for themselves.
We will focus on the scientifically verified aspects of mindfulness that impact performance.
For the vast majority of people, this will not conflict with any preexisting religious or spiritual practice. If this is a concern, please bring it up on the application interview call.
What if I’ve tried to meditate in the past, and it hasn’t worked?
It’s likely you either didn’t have the right teacher and scaffolding around you to work through the inevitable obstacles all people encounter when meditating, or you are in the 8-10% of people who have some health condition that makes meditation not a suitable vehicle.
If this concerns you, please talk to your healthcare provider.
Who normally gets accepted into this training?
As long as your willing to commit to the structure you'll likely be accepted.
I want to make sure everyone who starts also finishes as the community we build is integral to the success.
