I was (and still am) a big advocate for therapy, but slowly came to a similar conclusion as you did.

I think there are great therapists out there, and the overall practice is good in nature, but there are a lot of core aspects of life you can develop that you'll see a way bigger return on.

The friendships/relationship/and good community give you the diverse sounding board a lot of people seek out from therapy.

Thanks, Ben!

Boom -- thanks for these bullet points. I get so caught up in decision making, I some times never make it to actual action.

Checking out mindjournas today too!

Have been an on-and-off journal-er for a number of years, and have always noticed I do better when I'm on. Thanks for the thought! Might have to get back into an "on" cycle :)

Going to have to check out Cal's work. Digital burnout keeps getting me! Thanks!

Might be my sign to base jump for my birthday coming up... I think breaking out of the traditional norms is a huge positive!

So although my project (Always Check on the Homies), is pretty small and local, the name itself isn't revelational and has had a few iterations of different companies with the same/similar names.

For a few, I actually collaborated with them and we worked something out to eventually have them phase out of the name. A lot of the give happened when results for my brand were starting to climb and they treated their projects as a side hustle and nothing more.

For the rest that didn't want to engage/collaborate, we came to a mutual agreement to just stay in our lanes. Granted -- none of the projects were big enough to make a legal case even worth it.

I think in your sense, might be good to build in public a bit more so people can at least tie your company name back to you for more validation. As you continue to scale and add that website builder tool etc, I would be optimistic and believe your company will eventually eclipse them into forcing a name change from their side.
