[The following is an Eddie Vedder-like GRUNGE ROCK GUY from 1993, but he’s doing a modern, grindsetty, LinkedIn-lunatic-style diary]

Sleep is for wimps - I get up at 4am and have a two hour session of Avoiding Selling Out.
[Show him sitting up in bed, staring intensely ahead and going HURRRR]

9am:
I'm layering the moment the thrift store opens - ten minutes late is for losers.
[Show him putting plaid shirts over other shirts first thing in the morning in a charity shop]

10am:
I'm *always on* - every interaction is a business opportunity.
[He's walking down the street and an OLD LADY approaches, gesturing to her little dog who is poking its head out of a roadside ditch]
OLD LADY:
Excuse me -

OLD LADY:
Please can you help me pull my dog out of this ditch?
[Grunge guy looks out camera - he’s had an idea]

That's gone platinum (sad face) so it’s time to have another Avoiding Selling Out session
GRUNGE GUY:

One last Avoiding Selling Out session, Bovril, bed.
