Personal development is a saturated space. But THE RISE stands above the rest.
Most people talk about superficial, ‘feel-good’ stuff. But I write about mindset.
Most people talk about flimsy self-improvement. But that implies you’re inherently not good enough. I write about self-discovery: the journey you take to discover what you are capable of, and who you really are.
Most people talk about hacks and productivity. But I write about the art of accomplishment. It isn’t just about being productive. It’s a craft of understanding your motivations, and using actionable methods to get where you want to go.
THE RISE strikes through the nonsense.
THE RISE is a short newsletter that talks about these things in a practical, pragmatic, and purposeful way.
Each week you’ll receive a short email in your inbox with powerful and actionable things you can implement in your life.

About me
I’m Zan Tafakari. My real name is ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️. I trained for 6 years to become a ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ at ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ and worked in that field for ◼️◼️ years. Now, I work in ◼️◼️◼️◼️.
Many people would envy the career success I have, but there’s always a gnawing question in the back of my mind.
What’s it all for? Why do I do what I do? Why do I want what I want?
Pondering these questions for a decade has taken me on an incredibly fulfilling inward journey, and now I want to leave some breadcrumbs on the trail for you.
I’ve come to learn that inner work is the most important work you can do, and I’m excited to help you do it too.

Publishing schedule
Most of the time, you’ll get short weekly posts, right in your inbox. But I like taking breaks, and if I have nothing worth sharing, I won’t spam you for the sake of consistency.
With that out of the way, I’m super excited to have you on this journey!
Until next week,
Zan
