Patreon, R&P Q&A #224

Hi Rian, Grateful to have found your content, books recommendations, and side bar. I’ve read them all and gone through the side bar videos alongside them. Thank you. I enjoyed your cooking videos too. I’m interested in the part of you that’s an ‘artist’, and your thoughts for men who are artistically inclined. Becoming RP has made me rethink myself as a budding artist, and the deep emotions that come from it. I’ve found myself questioning whether poetry and films are ‘gay’ because they tap into rich emotional states. Art has always felt like a necessity for me and I now wonder whether it’s a luxury. There’s so much emphasis on making da money in the RP space, which is great but no one really chimes in on the importance of art and music. I can think of two people in the manosphere that do art professionally, Arthur Kwon Lee, and Kevin Savo. Kids are told now to go and make a YouTube channel another talking head. Instead of writing or producing a film, or making something beautiful. As a writer, painter and filmmaker, I’m very interested in writing ‘RP type content’ for future projects, so your thoughts would be appreciated.

Title: Bro pressuring me to include him in my business. If not that then pressuring me to hire more people for the opportunities I get. Not sure what the fuck is wrong with my bro. Not the first time I have talked about this. A year ago, he would say “let’s start a business” but there was no action towards it. This year I started a business. A SAAS. It’s not making any money. It’s lots of work. No one has paid for it. There is potential or it may die a horrible death. But my bro has been pestering me to add him to the project. I don’t have money to pay him “There is no free lunch” sooner or later they will want shares. Also he is good at project management but a software can do that to some extent. Perstering pestering pestering. Now the advice has changed to “you need to hire more people” over and over and over and over again It’s a lot of work but I try and keep my sanity by getting enough sleep and hitting the gym. I have tried helping my bro in other ways, like getting him some DSA book and a better laptop but still. I am supposed to follow the ASSERTIVE BILL OF RIGHTS but I just wonder where this is coming from. I have no job, just some gigs. He has a secure job and a wife and kids. He is turning 40 though so there is that pressure to achieve something in life. He has this thing of “getting the high from new year resolutions” My dad is also another funny character. I had to block him after he started with his 10,000 interrogation questions on what I am doing. To the extent that he starts asking what I did do at work the previous day and the day after that. And snooping on my LinkedIn.
