About Me — Just Emil
From ER to Thailand to Medium
There were multiple times in my life when I thought I had won the game.
After medical school, I started training as an anesthesiologist in one of the most competitive cities in the UK.
I left that to build an online business that saw me traveling around the world and making nearly $50,000 in a single month.
I got very good at ‘winning’ any game society threw at me, fulfilling the conditions set by that particular game.
Fitting into a template that society had laid out.
Checking the boxes I was being told to check.
The problem was that they weren’t MY games.
If asked whether I was happy, each time I would have replied with something like:
“Yeah, I suppose? No, yeah, for sure, I’m happy. Why do you ask?”
In reality, there was still a feeling that *this* wasn’t it.
A dissonance. An unease.
In my time playing the various games, I observed that most people don’t act on that feeling.
But through a dumb luck that I can’t define, I did end up taking action.
