ZM happy Monday.

gm to the whole squad. See everyone in the ZAO Fractal tonight at 6pm EST. There’s something about Mondays in this ecosystem — everyone shows up a little sharper, a little more locked in. The week’s just beginning, but you can already feel the current building.

Today’s mindful moment comes from Do Good Work, and the reflection comes straight from our LTAW3 Intern, Freezetheverse:

"To be great you must be all in." Is a phrase I've subconsciously lived the past couple months. Approaching my 10th day straight livestreaming, only stopping to use the bathroom, shower, prepare food, or tech issues throwing a wrench in the operation. For years I've been half in, or a quarter in. But a few months back I decided its time to truly go all in. No plan B, no one to save me if I fail, the real world vs my dreams. I eat, sleep, breathe streaming now. My friends all stream, I spend my free time watching someone else stream, I post at least one clip a day everywhere I remember to. And most of all I try my hardest to create something worth watching each and every single day. How can something fail if it's become my whole entire life? Being all in is mindset. Relentlessly believing in yourself against all odds, its more than a financial gamble, being all in is a lifestyle."

There’s a different kind of clarity that comes from choosing the dream with no exit route. Freeze is proving what happens when you stop negotiating with the thing you want and finally give it everything.

What would going “all in” look like for you today?
