I was born in one of the poorest areas in Brazil. My mother was pregnant with me at 14, and I was raised by my grandparents until I was seven. My mother was a housemaid.
Something that always stood out about me was a strong desire for continuous improvement and building a better life. I always strived for excellence in everything I committed to doing.
I immigrated to the USA and lived in this country alone without my family. I also became an engineer and worked to support myself while pursuing my degree. After college, I started my own company, worked for a large corporation, and also for a unicorn startup.
But self-improvement isn't just about moving up in your career. For the past three years, my top priority in life has been my health. I've learned that if you want to play the long-term game, you must be in good shape.
The thing is, many times, I went down the wrong route. This is especially true for my fitness journey. I actually started it back in high school, always going on and off with the gym. It took me years to commit, learn proper form, and enjoy working out. That's only when I finally started seeing results.
Another challenge was wasting a lot of time and effort duplicating work and solving problems that had already been solved because I had no idea these solutions already existed.
Many times, I had no idea what to do and had to read hundreds of search results on Google just to find something that would finally be a partial fit for me and my circumstances. Don't even mention having to scroll through all the ads on those pages.
I have had countless achievements, but also countless failures. Most of my failures were due to getting sidetracked, derailed, and losing track of what I truly wanted to achieve in life.
The idea for socra started with a simple yet profound question: “What do I need to do today to achieve my long-term goals in the future?" Well, a supercomputer knows the answer to that question better than we do.
Imagine how much time and effort it would have saved me if I had a system that would help me plan, track, and navigate my goals from start to finish.
So I quit my job to start socra - a platform to help people crush their goals. There's a reason the tagline says "crush" and not "achieve". socra is not a habit-tracker, not a to-do list, not a note-taking app, but your second brain on your journey to success.
I don't care about product-market fit, niche, networking events, or fundraising. I unplugged from the matrix. The only thing that truly matters is to continue to improve the platform that helps you make progress towards your goals and in the right direction.
socra is built by people who understand the challenges of achieving goals for people who want to make meaningful progress in their lives.
@josiezayner@goueeik You can ask an LLM trained on the entire internet (aka no novelty, just average, known, available knowledge) or you can learn how to think for yourself.
What did the LLM tell you Josie?
He is not an accolade collector, he is a real one.
I have 3 patents as a solo inventor, I've ranked first in Math Olympiads in school, and I have more accolades than he does, but he is way smarter than I am.
Some examples:
- He was the top student in his gifted and talented school.
- He 10x'ed our investments with an an investing software he built, so we were able to quit our jobs 4 years ago.
- When he quit his first job to go work as an engineer at Apple, the company offered to build his own lab in a different city they didn't operate in just for the possibility of keeping him, that's how valuable he is.
- Only student in his school to earn a perfect gpa in electrical engineering that year and he played college baseball.
@bersoriano You can follow him: @morteymike
He's not here much, but he comes and shares sometimes.
He actually made a very important discovery two days ago. I just don't want to share it in his place because I think he will write a paper about it.

We have the bigger battery and we go on roadtrips all the time. It usually lasts around 3 hours, which is perfect timing for a break as we also bring our dog along. It's honestly the best roadtrip experience imo and dog mode is awesome.
Outside of roadtrips, we just plug it in the garage and we never need to charge somewhere else.
