Summer is officially over—and I’ve finally got ALL PRODUCTS SHIPPING! My daughter, Lily, produced and packaged 10,000 olive oil bars. This project took nearly two years, since each bar needs a year to cure.
She grew up with these bars and knows they’re the ultimate secret for youthful skin. Get your 3-pack here!
She was honored to do it—even though she already runs her soap club and Etsy store, selling bestselling charcoal and French clay bars.
It’s been 10 years since I first taught Lily how to make soap. Since then, she’s had national placements in DECA, built both successful and failed soap businesses, spent a night in jail under false suspicion, and even produced a master class in the Middle East—where saponification was born.
Now 24 yo, Lily is still asking questions about her future. And I can't see into it. So I simply gave her my own experience.
"Life is filled with losses. And most of the time, you don't see it until it's too late. It's a slow boil. Small things add up to neck deep water and most of the time, it's too late to learn how to swim...unless you understand the 4 enemies to learning, as taught by Carlos Castaneda in Lessons from Don Juan.
#1 – Fear. The first enemy of knowledge is fear. Learning exposes weaknesses, forces change, and requires saying goodbye to old versions of yourself. It's scary. If you face fear, learning flows effortlessly—and clarity follows. Lily discovered success in soap wasn’t about soap, but accountability to herself and others to stay on schedule.
#2 – Clarity. The next enemy is clarity. Clarity feels like a gift, but breeds arrogance. In her youth, Lily thought she knew it all. She got careless. Cannabis, wine, parties, friends, social media, and boys distracted her from the work she’d poured into her lab. Clarity made her blind. To defeat it, you must become a student again—starting from scratch. That humility yields the intoxicating gift of power.
#3 – Power. The third enemy is power. Mishandled, it brings arrogance, cruelty, and ruin. Lily sees it today in a lot of dads who got arrogant and let go of themselves - pharma Bellies, moms chasing vanity in med spas, kids addicted to sugar and devices.
True strength lies in knowing when to wield power and when to bury it—with discipline, hard work, and selflessness. Once you conquer fear, clarity, and power, the reward is self-love.
#4 – Old Age. The final enemy, and none escape it, is old age. The only victory is to remain a student, pushing past your age with the vigor of a child, refusing the hypnosis of birthdays and societies demands of accepting your age.
The moment you conquer fear, clarity, power, and age, you discover heaven is not a place, but a vibration. Whether your craft is soap or rocket chemistry, conquering these four enemies is life’s greatest protection.
As Don Juan said, “A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance.”
