I Will Thrive

I Will Thrive

By Wesly Lapioli

They say repetition is the mother of mastery. We’ll be testing out that theory in a high stakes game with my life. “I Will Thrive” is my new maxim, motto, and mantra. Hey I’m Wesly. I’m a dude guy that’s been pushing for over a decade to pursue a career creating music and film. I have stories that involve some of the biggest stars in history. It’s time to tell those stories. Along with funny accounts of past failures and successes, you’ll also follow me as I build businesses – so I never have to go back to passionless work again. Every Wednesday. iwillthrive.blog
