Hello, fellow digital voyager! My mission is to help people realize technology's true potential for boundless learning and growth to hopefully overpower the internet's more mindless influences.
Because I, too, was once gripped by the vices of the internet, which promoted hedonism, complacency, and unfulfillment.
This was until I realized—this digital universe can offer us so much more.
Instead of passively doomscrolling, I found solace through insightful self-learning, passionate deep work, and meaningful creating.
Exploring new digital galaxies has allowed me to meet like-minded explorers and have opportunities my 17-year-old self would have never imagined.
I would love to help you do the same, so will you join me on this journey of Digital Self-Actualization?

No matter how lost or uninspired I may feel during the day-to-day happenings of my life, there’s solace in knowing my Sunday weekly reviews will revitalize me.
My weekly reviews are vital for reflecting on my experiences, discovering personal insights, and pursuing my long-term goals with clarity and purpose.
After two years of experimentation, I've created a comprehensive 1400-word guide on how I do my weekly reviews in Obsidian, with a BONUS 35-minute raw video example of following it for my own week. You can check this out in my recent blog post newsletter.johnmavrick.com/posts/my-comprehensive-….
I'll be slowly getting back into making videos but right now I want to focus on the direction of my personal brand and develop ideas without the need to worry about the algorithm.
Subscribers of my newsletter newsletter.johnmavrick.com/ were able to see this earlier, so consider subscribing if you don't want to miss any new content or updates 😉

If you're struggling with Obsidian's steep learning curve for plugins and features, you can check out my latest video where I use AI to help me use the Dataview plugin to create queries for my vault (which is also a sneak peek into my recently made AI assistants plugin!)

@ConsciousCollege100 and I's new course on how to use Obsidian for school is about to be released in less than 8 hours!
But before we start advertising it to the general public, we want to give a pre-sale launch discount to our subscribers before we raise the price 100%.

The current mindset students have toward education is disheartening.
School should be a time to effectively explore curiosities and have fun while doing so, not a time for worrying over mere numbers to determine your future.
And so... Aidan Helfant (youtube.com/@aidanhelfant) and I are creating a new approach to help people reignite their joy for learning through a video course + interactive Obsidian vault.
We're currently accepting beta testers (limited spots!) who will get full access to it for free, and be part of what can be a new movement ;)
If you're a student interested in learning more or know someone who might be, visit tally.so/r/n9N4b4 for more information.
