Art of Accomplishment Master Class

I just finished Joe Hudson’s Art of Accomplishment Master Class. 

It blew my mind and heart wide open. 

Here were some highlights of the ride.

There Is No End

That moment I fear–getting fired, dumped, or humiliated–isn’t the end.

Life keeps flowing.

All anxiety about the future is caused by believing there’s an end. When I accept there’s no destination, the ride is suddenly quite enjoyable.

Just Say The Edgy Thing

I used to be scared of creating a “record scratch” moment. I’d go with the flow and bottle up what I really thought because it might “kill the vibe.”

During Master Class I just said The Thing. When I did, magic happened.

People laughed. They thanked me. They said, “I was thinking the same thing.” 

And I felt exhilarated when I said it.

The fear reveals exactly what needs to be said.

Questions Are The Key

In the age of AI, answers are cheaper than ever. So being in the question is where expansion happens. 

And spiky, surprising questions are even better.

For example, when someone claims to hate a situation, the Art of Accomplishment asks:

“What do you actually enjoy about this?”

It stops people dead in their tracks and causes their brain to short-circuit in the best possible way.

Gratitude

Gratitude isn’t some woo-woo ritual—it’s tactical.

Most people obsess over what’s wrong and how to fix it.

Practicing gratitude lets you notice what’s right and how to grow it.

Daily gratitude on a specific topic (like money or relationships) can work miracles.

Enjoyment

Enjoyment > Management.

“The problem with getting good at managing your life is you end up with a life that has to be managed.” – @AirKistler

I realized that by optimizing my life, I turned it into a prison.

My favorite way to jailbreak is asking “how can I bring 10% more enjoyment to this moment?”

Learning How To Just Stop

A common question in the course: “I see I’m carrying [x toxic belief], but how do I actually stop believing it?”

The answer? 

Well, how do you drop a burning skillet?

You just drop it.

No “figuring out” needed

Pleasure Is Infinite

I can enjoy anticipating an experience.

I can enjoy remembering it afterward.

I can enjoy the fact that I can enjoy at all.

Once I start looking for it, pleasure never has to end.

The Upright Apology

The “Upright Apology” changed everything.

I was raised thinking “sorry” meant I was wrong. And being wrong felt like death. So I had to be very strategic  with my apologies.

But an upright apology is empowering, clean, and clear.  There’s no collapse.

There’s nothing political about my apologies anymore. I can give them freely and without a story.

Conclusion

The Art of Accomplishment didn’t just teach me concepts—it rewired how I show up in the world. 

Now I’m living from curiosity instead of fear, and honestly, it feels like I’ve been holding my breath my whole life and finally learned how to breathe.

Hugely grateful to Joe Hudson, Art of Accomplishment, and the whole community.
