After achieving 100s of millions, this is my #1 lesson I can give you.
Found a vid of me 14 years ago. Broke. Cringe. In my $200 a month bedroom talking about my new "SEO blog."
Why I show this: It’s CRINGE af… BUT it’s why I have wealth that .01% of people do. Here’s why 👇
Imagine seeing this back then as someone who knew me in high school before I did anything.
CRINGE. LOL. Look at this dork who isn’t in college at this age.
When you start ANYTHING, you will be cringe. ALWAYS.
To get to the good stuff, you have to go through the “icky” beginner period. To make MAX progress you have to put yourself out in the world.
The world will then tell you: you are embarrassing… stop.
This is because most peoples SOLE goal in life is protecting their ego and not looking like a failure to others.
In short, they make their main goal avoiding being cringe.
Very few people can put themselves in a position where they appear weak, pathetic, silly��yet keep moving forward.
Those that can… repeatedly… and stay motivated? They take over the world.
Because in order to be Tom Brady, you FIRST must get on the field and throw the ball like a 5-year-old soy girl and be judged by everyone on the sidelines.
Then you analyze your throw and get better day after day, week after week, year after year… till you’re great.
My point, my #1 lesson: Be cringe as fuck and put yourself out there. Let the peanut gallery laugh.
There is NOTHING shameful about wanting to become something greater than you are and trying like hell in public to do so.
Accept the pain of being a clown short term… to avoid being a clown (like those on the sidelines) for your entire life.
<3 Be cringe. Pursue cringe.
Maturity is discovering that most of your life is spent in a plateau, and if you don't fall in love with practice, mastery, and moving the needle forward you'll constantly try to escape the plateau with cheap stimulation and busy work that only keeps you there longer.
Going to try something new for my next Youtube vid.
Will add a section at the end that will be about 10 minutes long max to cover technical analysis on 10 tickers of coins that I don't normally cover.
You guys get to choose what those coins will be.
Vote for a SINGLE coin by submitting the ticker on the form below. Must be OVER 50M marketcap to be considered.
Coins with the MOST votes in 48 hours or so will be covered in my next Youtube vid in addition to my normal coverage/market update.

If you want to improve the value of your current skills, stack the skill that helps you articulate the value of those skills (so people actually care enough to pay you). Learn to write.
First, it was the mythical gods who were the creators. Then, humans realized they weren’t so puny and helpless. We became the creators.
The greatest threat right now is people willingly giving up the role of creator to AI.
Dr. David Sinclair.
The Harvard Genetics Professor who's proven that age is malleable.
Here's his protocol to reverse your age by 8-10 years (bookmark this):
#1. Exercise until you're out of breath
This assumes that everyone reads books because they want a list of actionable steps (that everyone else can also find, with AI or not = you’re replaceable).
It’s not about how much information you have.
It’s also not about what you do with that information.
It’s about changing your mind.
Because your mind is how you interact with reality. It’s how you make decisions that lead to a good or bad life.
Your mind doesn’t change with a few key points.
It changes when new ideas (actionable or not) fill in missing pieces, challenge old beliefs, or give you a new angle to view a situation from.
No single person reads a book and gets the exact same lessons out of it.
Each individual has their own beliefs, goals, problems, story, and interests that shape how they perceive the information in the book.
Let’s say 2 people want to make $1 million.
Person A could ignore the key points entirely, still get the right idea that leads to clarity, and make the decisions that lead to $1m.
Person B could obsessively study the key points, miss all of the context (what people love to label as “fluff”) and act like a blind puppet without realizing that if everyone had the key points to make $1m (everyone does) nothing would change.
Book summaries have been a thing for decades and they don’t do much good because they’re missing exactly what makes those key points work.
And last point:
The obsession over actionable steps and bullet point summaries is just another manifestation of cheap dopamine and distraction.
Read more books. Read longer books. Read books that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to achieve.
Read the books that people wouldn’t even think about summarizing with AI. That’s where the gold is.
I love AI and where it’s going as much as the next guy, and use it every day, but you’re going to be the one that’s replaced if you can’t do what AI can’t.
You aren’t high agency if you let AI make your decisions.
Why do humans get stuck in Trauma while wild animals recover naturally?
In the 1970s, Dr. Peter Levine noticed something remarkable:
Wild animals face death daily yet don’t develop PTSD, depression, or anxiety.
His discovery revolutionized how we understand trauma forever:🧵

The ultimate goal is to have a life so beautifully designed that work, rest, and play cease to exist. They all blur together and are indistinguishable.
Last bull, I became a millionaire, but round-tripped a lot of my gains.

Anxiety comes from many options but no priorities.
Sadness comes from a perceived lack of options.
To solve the first, prioritize. Cut the rest.
To solve the second, look. There’s always an option. You just don’t see it yet. Which means finding it becomes your default action.
