🚀 Fact of the Week

The average adult now checks their phone 144 times per day — once every 10 minutes.
We’re not addicted to our phones… we’re addicted to avoiding our own thoughts.

 

🧠 This Week’s Lesson:

The Answers You’re Hunting Are Hiding in the Silence You’re Avoiding

If your mind floods with thoughts the moment you lie down at night, it’s a sign you didn’t give your brain enough space during the day.
You filled every spare moment with consumption — and none with processing.

Last week I heard a line from Chris Williamson that hit hard:
“The answers you’re looking for are in the silence you’re avoiding.”

Silence isn’t empty.
It’s where your mind finally tells you the truth.
Here’s what silence exposes:

1️⃣ Silence forces you to face what you’ve been distracting yourself from.
2️⃣ Clarity doesn’t come from more information — it comes from less.
3️⃣ The silence you avoid is usually the truth you avoid.

If you want more clarity, confidence, and alignment, you need more silence — not more stimulation.
Here’s how to build it into your life:

---

🔹 1. Create Micro-Silence Moments (1–3 minutes)

You don’t need a 30-minute meditation.
Just pause throughout the day with no phone, no music, no input.

Ask yourself:
“What’s actually on my mind right now?”
These tiny check-ins reveal what’s been simmering under the noise.

---

🔹 2. Take a No-Input Walk

One walk.
No headphones.
No podcasts.
Just movement + silence.

This combination clears mental fog faster than anything else.

---

🔹 3. Let Your Thoughts Settle Like a Snow Globe

Your mind is constantly shaking from stimulation.
Silence lets everything settle.

Sit still, breathe normally, and let the mental chatter burn out.
Clarity usually appears right after.

---

🔹 4. Use “Silence With a Prompt”

Sit somewhere quiet with one question only:

• What am I avoiding deciding?

• What do I need that I haven’t admitted?

• What’s the simplest next step?

Silence + a focused question = clarity almost every time.

 

🏗️ JITY Update

The last 10 days threw us a curveball.
We ran into issues with our dryer, which slowed down our output of dried powder. But we didn’t stop — we kept running enzyme cooks, and now we’re almost at the point where all that’s left is drying the product we’ve already built up.

A lot of founders in our position get tempted to “just release it” early.
We talk about it too.
But here’s the truth:

The wait has shaped the product.

The feedback from over 100 people who’ve tried the samples so far has been priceless. You’ve told us what works, what doesn’t, what needs tweaking — and because of that, the version we’re taking to market is miles better than where we started.

So yes, the wait is long.
And yes, we know you’re itching to try it.

But we’re not cutting corners.
We’re building something worth taking time for — and your feedback has been the backbone of getting it right.

Thanks for sticking with us. It's going to be worth it. 🔒🔥
