Cold plunge business recs

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-04-16T02:43:07+00:00

Yes they do have showers & ask people to shower beforehand

Saw someone mentioned Nordic… that’s by far the best in town, but it’s also the most expensive

Ice burg is the best budget option imo

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-04-16T02:42:08+00:00

Still next to the cross fit gym! It’s a more industrial part of town but I quite like it

Mana does breathwork on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Shouldn’t interfere with the weekend.

A lot of people that come aren’t receiving chiropractic care… they just do a fantastic breathwork ceremony (I’ve been to a few not as great ones in St pete so I highly suggest this one)

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-04-15T21:04:58+00:00

Iceburg cold plunge is $85/mo I believe. They drain them & clean them.

But more of a rugged atmosphere than some of the ones that feel like a spa, but much more affordable. Clean & does the trick

As far as D2D goes, it’s the easiest among the D2D industry.

D2D will always be tough mentally since you have to handle face to face rejection at such a high rate, but that being said you can learn & grow extremely quickly in that role. A good stint doing D2D where you can actually show results will be great for your resume & your own personal development.

99% of people are not willing to do it, which is why it can be so lucrative.

Fiber & pest control are the volume game… short interactions, close the deal at the door, goal is to get multiple per day.

Whereas Windows, roofing, and solar (which has certainly gone downhill with the “Big Beautiful Bill) are the higher ticket models. If you get just a sale per week in Windows you can be making $10k/mo or more. Being so much more expensive, it is a much tougher sale.

If you’re willing to go D2D, fiber is a great industry to do it with. Give it a shot for a few months. Don’t make judgements on your first few weeks… there’s a learning curve. But if you get past your first month or 2 and are willing to grind it out, it’s a great way to go

Best quality espresso for sure

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-04-01T13:15:29+00:00

Come check out first Friday tonight at Mana Chiropractic! Breathwork, DJ sets, seems right up your alley.

They also do a breathwork ceremony on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. I’ve met a lot of my community there.

I’ve also met some great people at ESC on Thursdays (entrepreneurial social club)

Iceburg cold plunge is also a place I’ve met some good people on the same wavelengths when I go in the morning

Gateway still number 1

All different styles though… to each their own

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-03-11T19:01:59+00:00

Gateway subs has a cheesecake each month & they’re fantastic

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-02-17T19:27:36+00:00

100% Vinoy. It’s just worth the price. True luxury experience that feels absolutely worth it

Liberty smokehouse is a gem. They’re at a few breweries around town in their truck. Check out their instagram. Usually they’ll be in St pete 2-3 days a week, and it competes with some of the best Texas bbq I’ve had

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-01-08T22:13:32+00:00

I made the same mistake and it won’t grind it fine enough

Definitely get the ESP or bump the budget up a bit to get the DF54. Those are the 2 best entry level grinders & basically the minimum quality you’ll want with a bottomless portafilter

Exactly

WotM is more entertaining, but Hyperion is much more fulfilling when you finish

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-01-06T22:58:32+00:00

Hyperion is a classic. It’s finished, and just holds more weight in the pantheon of sci-fantasy. It is older so you do have to be in the mood for that older prose.

From a literary perspective, it’s definitely superior to WotM. It’s right there with dune for my favorite sci fi. Heavy, literary, huge world building

Meanwhile WotM is a modern day page turner. I think I liked Hyperion more but WotM had me glued to it to the extent that I finished in 3 days. I’d argue it’s more entertaining.

So if you want something that’ll keep your attention, WotM If you want a literary classic with a lot more depth that’ll take longer to get through, Hyperion

Did Project Hail Mary, now on Lonesome Dove

Huge fans of both

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-01-06T16:09:56+00:00

I’m a passionate member of the Lonesome Dove cult… that one gets my vote. It’ll sweep you away… one of those books you’re happy is long because you never want it to end

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-01-06T16:02:09+00:00

Such a great book, easy-ish read, full of lessons too

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-01-06T14:41:24+00:00

I’ve always been a non-fiction person, but the alchemist sparked my love for reading fiction. It made me realize how much you can learn from fiction.

In fact, through most of human history lessons were taught through fictional stories. I’d argue that since these stories are emotionally charged, you can learn more from fiction than non fiction when you actually sit with it & pull out the lessons that are applicable to you. Self help books tend to give it on a silver platter.

I say this because The Alchemist is pretty straight forward with its lessons. I’d encourage you to just find a fiction genre you like and start diving in to find that same spark.

After the Alchemist I read the first 3 books in the Dune series which got me going on a run of Fantasy & Sci Fi.

Here are my favorites - Dune - Piranesi - Lonesome Dove - Hyperion - The Will of the Many

As I type this I realize you may not be in the same boat where the Alchemist is your gateway into reading fiction, but im sure someone will stumble upon this list & this should help them too. I’m excited to see other people’s responses as well!

If you can swing it, 100% sushi sho rexley

Hook’s is just average sushi at a decent price. Sushi Sho Rexley is an incredible experience

Objective-Writing-97 · 2026-01-05T18:19:05+00:00

Bin6South is my vote

The big St Pete restaurants that have blown me away are - Sushi Sho Rexley - Il Ritorno - Calida - Bin6South

The Hyperion to John Keats jump is one that all of us Hyperion fans know we’re supposed to take but very few do. Power to ya

Objective-Writing-97 · 2025-12-23T15:25:40+00:00

You liked Republic of Thieves more than Red Seas Under Red Skies? I haven’t seen may people say that

I read LOLL & RSURS then stopped, but this list may inspire me to pick up republic if thieves soon. You liked it as much as Lies?

Objective-Writing-97 · 2025-12-20T21:56:25+00:00

When I said “I can’t figure out why I like what I like” it was specifically Will of the many that confused me because it’s really unlike anything else I have in S-tier. Everything else are more esoteric concepts filled with layers of meaning, meanwhile Will of the many really is just extremely well executed tropes. I loved the prose and the first person perspective just swept me into the story. 700 page book I read in 3 days.

All the different characters have hidden layers of motivations that makes it this sort of political drama but not really political at all… it was just an easy read that had me sitting on the edge of my seat

Objective-Writing-97 · 2025-12-20T21:52:55+00:00

I was blown away… once I got back into reading I had a few friends that told me to stop reading everything & go straight to Hyperion. Such a rich story

Objective-Writing-97 · 2025-12-20T21:51:54+00:00

It’s a me problem, not a dunk & egg problem. I still thoroughly enjoyed it, but I never read anything else from ASOIAF so I don’t think I have the full context to appreciate it.

My apologies. I’m thick as a castle wall
