Below is my 📝Manifestor's Log for June 2019.
June 30, 2019
- Went for tacos at the truck that inspired my purchasing the 📝Spirit Of The Taco domain and later kidnapped five people for a short ride, and recording, in 📝Show One.
- Spent the afternoon at 📝Original Muscle Beach for a typical summer Sunday; a mass of a few hundred gymnasts, acroyogis, slackers, etc. under a magical sun and sunset.
- Designed a template and three shirt designs for the 📝Spiritual Bro // Store; then printed samples (aka 📝My Wardrobe) to gauge how 📝Friends of Resonance will receive them.
- Received the 📝Third Eye Logo for 📝Spirit Studio from the illustrator and uploaded to 📝My LinkedIn with the 📝Third Eye Chakra from our 📝Color Pallet.
June 29, 2019
- 📝Tipsy Tours! (aka my birthday party) Began in Hollywood where we wandered, ultimately into an escape room. Later ventured west towards Venice Muscle Beach for swings on the rings and a long walk to 📝Original Muscle Beach for more swinging in magical weather.
- Went dressed as a character known as 'Chad'; the semi-pro body builder from NYC that was in LA to immerse himself in the ethos that started what he will soon reinvent.
- I'd been immersed in projects and hadn't committed too much time to promoting the event, but the day manifested as exactly the kind of magic I'd not known to ask for. Large in part due to Ray Hernandez who ventured with me; in space, in conversation, and life.
June 28, 2019
- After yoga, 📝Emily Schmidt and I kidnapped 📝Yancy Schwartz with 📝Show One for more recording (the live streaming wasn't co-operating with us so it'll be uploaded later).
- Hung out with 📝Emily Schmidt for a bit at my place and then ventured to 📝Sweat Yoga in 📝Show One while 📝Live Streaming the second episode (the time was mostly featured my excited rambling about 📝John Zdanowski's car, Xandra, driving itself).
June 27, 2019
- Went to the Art of Tech Vol. 3 at the 📝Expert DOJO in Santa Monica. Saw a few friendly faces; booked 📝Loren Vandegrift, 📝Rob Kale, and Neha Gupta for 📝Show One.
- Added context to my new job descriptions in 📝My LinkedIn and, seeing the project logos together, sent an idea for a 📝Third Eye Logo (📝Spirit Studio) to our illustrator.
- Picked up 📝Dylan Weissman in 📝Show One and live streamed to my Facebook profile; it was the first episode with a guest and was well received—prompting great reflections.
- Sync with 📝Audrey Wu who's company just created the first 📝Reddit Advertising with a chatbot answering questions in the comments; see context >> 📝Child's Play (advert).
- Re-wrote my 📝Brian Swichkow📝Creator Memo which has become the hub of my online presence (and therefore an energetically challenging thing to write). This version feels good.
June 26, 2019
- Swung by the Santa Monica supercharger for a quick zap of Xandra while listening more to 📝The Ascent of Humanity; chapters 156-159 (audiobook) detail forms of living currency.
- Went for a Kombucha run with 📝Shar Ghoudsifar at Cross Campus in Santa Monica after yoga; hung for a bit and found 📝Friends of Resonance—some new, some known.
- Played tour guide for my uncle and cousin who were visiting CA from their home in TN; began in the Venice canals, walked to Abbott Kinney for lunch, and went to the Rings.
- Drafted and sent a short update for those subscribed to the 📝Tipsy Tours email list about this weekend's adventure; pushed them to the Facebook event for day of coordinating.
- Drafted and sent 📝The Lazy Genie to the 📝The Journey To One Newsletter in less than an hour; an 📝Order of Magnitude faster than my earliest letters.
June 25, 2019
- Created new Company pages on 📝LinkedIn and updated new positions: 'Human Resource' at 📝Brian .bot is my favorite with 'Little Bro' at 📝Spiritual Bro coming in a close second.
- Synced up with 📝Seth Lesky about the growth and intentions of 📝LaunchPass; discussed upcoming opportunities for 📝co-creativity and the creation of belief-driven communities.
- Creation of the 📝Growth For The Sake Of Change channel in the 📝Citizens of One Slack as a response to 📝Alexandra Fine's request for some form of lite, marketing advisory.
- Spent most of the day writing the About page for 📝BrianSwichkow .com; speaking with resonance to 📝Redditors without them feeling I am pandering, placating, or pitching them.
- Pushed version 0.3.3 of 📝Spirit Check to the Chrome store; fixing one bug and adding a caching function which will prevent us from maxing out 📝Airtable's API limits.
- Fixing issue on 📝Bot .Boutique // Website where 📝MailChimp groups were not added.
June 24, 2019
- Went for a drink with 📝Nick Barone and 📝Clark Vautier; largely discussed relationships.
- Hosted our bi-weekly 📝Symposium with 📝Nick Barone, 📝Clark Vautier, and 12 others; then filled 📝Show One with people and went for a ride (not recorded, this time).
- Quick syncs with 📝Glenda Lousignont, 📝Gray Bright, and 📝Yogesh Srihari regarding the launch of 📝Spirit Check and scheduling rides in 📝Show One (aka the Tesla Talkshow).
- Got Xandra (📝John Zdanowski's Model X) detailed and charged. She's now camera ready for 📝Show One! Did another livestream test (to Facebook) on the way to the supercharger.
- Sync with 📝Matt Yanofsky about press features for 📝Spiritual Bro (VICE), 📝Brian .bot (Rolling Stones), 📝BrianSwichkow .com (Forbes), and a few yet to be announced projects.

- 📝Live Streaming of my first 📝Thinking In Publicto my personal Facebook page from within Xandra, 📝John Zdanowski's Tesla Model X, on my drive back to Los Angeles.
- Synced with development team regarding the 📝Spirit Check extension; pushed version 3.0.1 to the chrome store with a fix relating to the connection it has to the database.

June 22, 2019
- Syncing with 📝John Zdanowski on upcoming rollout amongst his 📝66 Animals and four amazing kids while enjoying the stunning sunset at his estate; always a magical experience.
- Recorded EP-000 of 📝Show One with 📝John Zdanowski and his eldest son, Jack, while he gave me fatherly auto-driving lessons on the way to pickup (delicious) thai food.
- Discovered a hiccup with 📝Spirit Check that would cause the extension to stop working once the computer lost its internet connection; once discovered, it was fixed shortly after.
- Sent 📝Under No Obligation as part of 📝The Journey To One Newsletter while riding the train to 📝John Zdanowski's estate in San Diego; received mmm's of resonance.

- Shared the launch of 📝Spiritual Bro on my personal facebook page; a simple action that released manufactured anxieties and brought about waves of resonance from friends.
- Received new revisions for the 📝Bot .Boutique // Website; added hosting (bot.boutique) and tracking. Waiting on design to be made responsive and will begin writing the copy.
June 20, 2019
- Walked through Downtown Santa Monica alone (with a joint) while practicing observance without judgement; made it a few miles before calling an Uber home to write and sleep.
- Attended the 'Silicon Beach' Networking event at Bungalow in Santa Monica which was complete with vegan food trucks, multiple DJs, and people both attractive and enlightening.

- Flipped the switches to launch 📝Spiritual Bro! Sent the welcome email to those who were registered and began sending individual emails to other 📝Friends of Resonance.
June 19, 2019
- Deployed the production version of the 📝Spiritual Bro and did a final walk-through of the systems to prepare for the launch of 📝Spirit Check** tomorrow morning!!**
- 📝Yancy Schwartz pulled me aside before 📝Sweat Yoga and shared the "source" of his enlightening 📝introjects; he links, and I began exploring, 📝Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
- Picked up a call from 📝John Zdanowski who said "come outside" and found him passing my apartment with 📝Trevor Soares; went for a ride, a joint, and then bounced to yoga.

- Received word that the 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension has been migrated to the production environment; getting the once over from our solutions architect before turning it on!
June 18, 2019
- Began writing the stories for brianswichkow.com (📝My Advertising Catalog) to accompany the 📝Reddit Advertising placements I had created yesterday; launching with 6-9 of them.
- Received the first draft of 📝Bot .Boutique // Website from our design team. Seems that there could be a scalability issue with 📝Webflow's CMS so we're going forward without it.
June 17, 2019
- Made small changes to the copy and linking of 📝Spiritual Bro, 📝One, Inc.,📝Brian .bot.
- Created the 📝Reddit Advertising for, and built out, 📝My Advertising Catalog; what lives on brianswichkow.com and is linked in the comments of 📝/u/brianswichkow ads. Still left, is me writing of the stories surrounding each ad and my biography on the About page.
- Synced with the 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension development team who assures me that there is only ONE more bug to squash (the line break in Gmail interrupting the 📝Spirit Check).
June 16, 2019
- Caught up on my 📝Manifestor's Log (the notations in this memo) using the writings in my 📝Bullet Journal (BuJo) to jog my memory; tools to 📝Connect the Dots looking back.
- Sync with design team regarding the 📝Bot .Boutique // Website and added new notes to shift the design away from that of 📝NomadList which would require Javascript. Opted for a simpler first approach to keep things 📝Strategically Shitty and build the site out gradually.
June 15, 2019
- Found myself 📝(Again) Stoned and Single, realized in the shower that a 'Part 2' of my Reddit advertising powered dating experiment was a logical next step. While it's unlikely to be approved, it will be included in my 📝My Advertising Catalog and incite more laughter.
- Volleyball with 📝Robert Kale and friends and enjoyed the opportunity to dive in sand.
- 📝Thinking In Public with 📝Alexandra Fine regarding the 📝Approved Not Approved project and suggested delaying the launch until after their 📝MTA Complaint hits the press (slated for CNN, NY Times, etc.). In the meantime, I'll be writing 📝Equality In Advertising and other 📝memos as objective and educational assets to inject in their website copy.
June 14, 2019
- Presented at 📝Hawke Media; shared principles for participation on 📝Reddit, showed 📝Approved Not Approved and 📝Spiritual Bro as examples of 📝co-creativity, and invited them to make space for their team to 📝play—demonstrating the true character of Hawke.
- Sync with 📝Daniel Liebeskind who is one week away from launching the 📝Everipedia refresh that he and his development team have been working on for the last few months.
- Received "final" server migration instructions from 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension development team involving Terminal and brought on a trusted engineer to expedite the process.
June 13, 2019
- Created a few sample shirts for the 📝Spiritual Bro // Store using 📝Printful; these are likely to become my new uniform (replacing my closet full of 📝Lululemon clothes).
- Refreshed the tipsy.tours website; an experiential 📝Typeform survey. Created this year's event page on Facebook and began inviting friends to participate in the adventure.
June 12, 2019
- Sync with 📝Robert Allam, the most prolific 📝Redditor, about his upcoming product launch and the potentiality of a marketing consulting company. I advised for more of the former and none of the latter; creation is 📝play, consulting is not in alignment with spirit. We discussed was he could have a 📝Big Vision With Positive Unit Economics.
- Sent the 📝Meaning of Meaning to the 📝The Journey To One Newsletter.
June 11, 2019
- Created the 📝LaunchPass pages for 📝Spiritual Bros community and mastermind which are offered in the welcome sequence for the 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension; tested coupons.
- Recorded the 'Getting Started' tutorial for the 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension and published it to the website (on a hidden page within the 📝Superhuman Mail-inspired welcome sequence).
- Sync with 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension development team and furthering of transfer process.
June 10, 2019
- Hosted 📝Symposium at 📝Spaces; talked about 📝truth, 📝language, and inner worlds.
- Short walk and chat with 📝Thomas Bagamane who felt overwhelmed; expressing that he "needed" to issue a press release for 📝The Giving Spirit (TGS) in response to the recent study showing a substantial rise of homelessness. I reflected that his urgency as errant as TGS has known this to be an issue since its founding in 1999. I suggested he framed the press release around "this is why we do this" and frame the quantitate validation as a tool for his community to use to gain greater support from those who were previously on the fence.
- Sync with the 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension development team regarding the transfer of the code to our production servers; the last step before we can launch publicly.
June 9, 2019
- Watched the fifth season of 📝Black Mirror on the plane from ATL to LAX. 📝Smithereens was a visceral and poignant commentary on the effects that social media has on society and the mental health of those within. It was fiction that didn't feel fictitious.
- Re-read the introduction and first chapter of 📝The Meaning of Meaning and started to see where the message within could be distilled for 📝Meaning of Meaning.
June 8, 2019
- Added revision notes for 📝BrianSwichkow // Website (formatting), 📝Brian .bot // Website (styling), 📝Spiritual Bro // Website (styling), and 📝Mythos One // Website (email signup).
- Created the 'Spiritual Bro Bot' using 📝ManyChat, 📝Dialogflow, and 📝Janis to handle customer (bro) service and (later) create a 'for bros by bros' support community.
- Updated the 📝MailChimp autoresponders within the 📝Spiritual Bro welcome funnel and linked them to the 📝Spiritual Bros community with 📝LaunchPass (memo updates soon).
June 7, 2019
- Received the production-ready version of 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension from our developers and submitted it to the Chrome store; final testing and then we'll start the public release!
June 6, 2019
- Went through my journal and caught up on this 📝Manifestor's Log which, for the last few days, had been loose notations unlikely to be comprehended by any non-Me person.
June 5, 2019
- Started writing the 📝The Journey To One Newsletter about 📝The Meaning of Meaning and, about halfway through, begin seeing the story as complex; possibly too early to share.
- Began re-write of my 📝Brian Swichkow📝Creator Memo—linked at the bottom of every 📝memo in my 📝Mythos One library—in preparation for the 📝One, Inc. // June Launch.
June 4, 2019
- Discovered and watched 📝The Amazing Johnathan Documentary; a portrait of the mental health triggers that can be associated with high-energy investments in performance arts.
June 3, 2019
- While at 📝Sweat Yoga to work my knee, a post-yoga chat with one of the other Brians in my class inspired the idea of a 📝Brians Only section within 📝Brian .bot.
- Synced with 📝Jennifer Gunsaullus—a sociologist, sexologist, and speaker—who has a book releasing in August and is eager to share her energy with big, podcast audiences. Intro'd her to 📝Zhana Vrangalova and grateful to be the 🔗 between two amazing humans.
- Emailed with development team for 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension and the squashing of last bugs before public release of the beta; the roll-out expected before the end of this week!
- Added the first three reflections to the (newly launched) 📝Brian .bot website and notated some minor formatting changes for our design team before considering this version "done".
June 2, 2019
- Went for a swing at 📝Original Muscle Beach; did a 📝flyaway off of the 📝Flying Rings and 📝Overshot My Landing by 18 inches my longest jump—landing hard on my left knee. Also saw 📝Charles-Ryan Barber—my friend and coach—for the first time since his amputation.
- Setup the 📝Spiritual Bros📝Slack Community; a paid membership to a support group and cohort offered to users of the 📝Spiritual Bro // Extension in the welcome process.
- Documented new notes regarding the 📝Spiritual Bro // Website, added 📝I. A. Richards' prompt about the influence of thought on language from 📝The Meaning of Meaning to the 'Everyone Can Be A Manifestor' section on the Home page (a kind of testimonial).
- Short sync with 📝Gil Dvoretsky about the upcoming 📝Beeja Meditation application he's developing with 📝Will Williams; and their recent securing of an epic partner—📝Unify.
June 1, 2019
- Made a joke that "if there's any place in the world where late-night, vegan pizza delivery is a thing... it's be Los Angeles." Discovered many, chose Purgatory Pizza—give it five stars.
- Meditated in my Uber on the way to (gasp) a sixth date; as much as I love the freedom that 📝Jessica (my 🏍️) affords, it was a far more relaxing way to experience the 405.
- Added new, and nearly final, notes on the 📝Brian .bot // Website while writing what we've been calling ‘Reflections’; a kind of mini-blog format for showcasing pieces of conversations which have inspired 📝Brian .bot’s trainings as a means to document his learnings.
- Wrote and sent 📝Blurring The Lines for the 📝The Journey To One Newsletter; received resonant reflections from 📝Emily Schmidt and 📝Alex Silkin (mentioned within)
