I just want to take a moment to express my gratitude to everyone who follows my journey. To those who support, encourage, challenge, and even criticize me thank you.
The positive comments inspire me. The negative comments strengthen me. Both have played a role in my growth.
I donโt take any of it for granted. Every view, comment, message, and conversation is a reminder that I have been given an opportunity to share my experiences, lessons, failures, and victories.
I am deeply grateful for this community and for the ability to document this journey in real time.
Thank you for being here.
Much love, much respect, and God bless.
Warriors Rise.
dear father GOD, we thank you for this beautiful day. A day to be present in your gift of life. We trust that all things happening to us are for us not against us. We walk into this day with the full arm of GOD on, knowing that we win in the end 100% of the time.
In Jesus name, amen.
Before the โeasy for you to say rich manโ comments arrive, this post is for a very specific group of people, and there are far more of you than you realize.
I have found that Iโve SLIGHTLY slowed down the feeling of time in my older years by becoming semi (retired) at my age.
Not because I wanted to retire. Circumstances outside my control pushed me into it, and somehow I remained in this state for nearly five years.
What I discovered through introspection, revelation, and trying to walk a path of righteousness (as best as I can), while fully embracing family, nature, and freedom, is this:
Time moves differently when you stop chasing the high score.
When I was constantly biz traveling, battling -network, building worldwide, chasing more money (highs score), more status, more immoral power, more everything, the years were flying by.
Now I can sit & actually notice a bird, a tree, a sunset, my children laughing, silence, peace.
And somehow time stretches a little more.
I hope this reaches someone standing on the edge asking themselves, โHow much is enough?โ
Because many of you are not living. You are chasing.
Yachts, jets, vanity, status, attention.
You never arrive there.
If I can push even one person to finally say โenough,โ enjoy what they built, and actually begin living, welcome to the club.
Iโll smoke a cigar with you.
What kind of shit is this?
Some red wine ruined me for 3 days ๐
I built an empire across the world while raging on alcohol, tobacco and much worse.
Had a very happy wife and three beautiful kids and was there for everything while constantly sleeping 3 to 4 hours max.
The no alcohol chapter has been remarkable but the biohacking world gets tiresome too.
Stopping alcohol is great, but only after you have truly felt what it takes from you.
Light to darkness.
I seriously do not know if I can honestly tell you I would have been so successful without it.
Sorry.
I just will not lie.
Iโve been semi-retired for the last five years. Due to my govt battles and reflections on life.
Iโve spent all that time with my family, and itโs been spectacular.
The entrepreneurial spirit doesnโt die though, and I have a list of business ideas all written out.
