A little about me:
I was homeschooled, and my parents had no friends, so I didn’t really interact with people until I was 18.
At 12, I got my first computer and became obsessed with design, HTML, and selling things online.
Growing up, I’d see GQ magazine at Kroger and dream of dressing like that one day.
I was told college wasn’t an option, but because I was making money online and good with computers, I convinced myself I’d be the next Zuckerberg.
After high school, I started building websites. I failed miserably. I was also naive. At 20, I accepted the truth about myself and started reading 100 books a year.
Not having friends most of my life taught me to value people. I realized I loved being around others and felt most fulfilled when I was.
Eventually, I found some success and built a team. But the highs and lows of no recurring revenue took their toll. I prayed for a way out, and in 2019, God gave me one.
I started a company called Rabbit, a network of phone chargers you could rent and return anywhere. I raised $1M in 10 days over the phone, without a pitch deck.
We launched in October 2019. For the first time, I experienced instant success. But in March 2020, our next round of funding fell through, and COVID killed the business. I went back to the agency.
I launched software that created affiliate links for gym members. That helped us build enough revenue to qualify for a loan and go all-in on something I’d been trying to make work since 2017: Website Management.
The premise was simple: Everyone has a website, but not everyone has 24/7 access to someone who can handle everything from new designs and features to hosting, speed optimization, and security.
In 2021, I turned on Google Ads for website management. On the first day, we got a lead that closed the next day for 2 subscriptions. From that moment, I’ve spent every day growing the business.
Building an agency that manages hundreds of clients while delivering the support of a $5K/month service, all while charging only a few hundred dollars, has been a grind. But I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built.
This guy handles this situation I believe in the best way possible.
He’s not scared of a conversation.
This is the biggest problem I see over and over is people unwilling to have a conversation.
Yes the guy calling is a complete idiot. But he still takes the call and tries to work with him while simultaneously holding his ground.
I want a black dial rose gold Overseas
Vacheron doesn’t make that
So I’m taking the black dial from steel overseas and the blue dial from my rose gold overseas and having them swapped
Am I committing a sin or is this okay?

Why did C.S. Lewis say that Hell is locked from the inside?
He explores this idea in his book The Great Divorce.
In it, souls of the damned are allowed to visit heaven on a bus ride, but they are not pleased with what they see — and they leave of their own accord.
The fact is, the damned cannot touch Heaven. They can't so much as disturb the dew drops on the grass. Nor can they even gaze upon the garden properly.
Why? Because they are blinded by their own sins:
– The philosopher would rather philosophize about God than meet him
– The painter would rather make beautiful art than gaze upon the source of all Beauty
– The clingy mother would rather fret over her son than give her full love to God
Lewis' point is that God cannot force man into salvation. Damnation is not God's rejection of man, but God tragically accepting man's rejection of him.
Hell itself is the ultimate monument to human freedom; for a human with true free will is even free to divorce himself with paradise.
What Lewis suggests is that you don't fully understand human nature until you understand that some humans really do not want paradise.
Conversely then, true freedom does not mean using your free will however you want. True freedom means surrendering your free will by forming your soul to the Good.
By sacrificing your free will in this manner, you gain glory, virtue, and happiness — for man was made to know and love virtue above all.
Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
BREAKING - as of this morning, 12% of Florida's for sale homes are in active fire sale territory.
This means they have been sitting on market, the seller is actively cutting prices and increasing the frequency of those price cuts.
The pressure is mainly concentrated in Tampa and Fort Myers, where fire sales now top 30% of listings in some submarkets.
This means sellers cannot find buyers even though they want to.
