6 years ago I was at my lowest.
- Apartment burned down
- Divorced after 6 years
- Lost my car
But I still had $19k to my name.
Since then:
- Accumulated more than $20M
- Building real communities
- Escaped the matrix
Here’s 3 things I learned on my journey.
🧵
Ivory Coast grows almost half the world's cocoa. 🤯
Almost every chocolate bar you've ever eaten probably started there.
Right now, 700,000 tons of it is sitting in warehouses. Unsold. Unpaid. Rotting.
Not because demand disappeared, but because global prices shifted, multinational buyers stopped purchasing, and the farmers who actually grew it have no way to sell to anyone else.
❌ They don't set the price.
❌ They don't choose the buyer.
❌ They don't have access to the market.
They just grow the product, hand it off, and hope the system works, but it doesn't always work.
Some of these farmers haven't been paid in two months. Some had to destroy their own harvest because it went bad before anyone came to buy it.
This is what global trade actually looks like for the people at the bottom of it. The world runs on what they produce, but they have zero direct connection to the economy that profits from it.
A farmer in Duekoue can grow a product that ends up on shelves in Paris and New York, but can't sell it to a single buyer without going through a chain of middlemen, government councils, and commodity exchanges in cities he'll never set foot in.
When any one link in that chain breaks, he's the one who doesn't eat.
This is the gap nobody talks about.
Not access to information. Not access to the internet. Access to trade. The ability to participate directly in the economy your labor already supports.
That's what needs to change.
In this episode, I’m joined by Oto Gomes (@otogomes), crypto investor, mentor, and founder of the Crypto Freedom Academy, for a conversation that goes far beyond charts, markets, and digital assets. Oto brings over a decade of crypto experience and another decade as an accountant, but what truly sets him apart is his heart-centered approach to wealth, sovereignty, and freedom.

Together, we unpack why so many people feel disempowered around money, how our beliefs shape our financial reality, and why the future of prosperity depends less on chasing quick wins and more on understanding who we are at our core. Oto shares practical and grounded wisdom on navigating crypto safely, building true abundance, and creating a resilient inner foundation that can weather both bull and bear markets—externally and internally.
If you're curious about crypto, seeking a more holistic approach to money, or wanting to align your financial path with personal freedom and purpose, this conversation offers grounded insights and expansive perspective.

We had an amazing talk on the importance of the energy of exchange and how it translate on the blockchain 🙌🏽
Thank you @MrLukeStorey for the opportunity to chat with you about it!
Yo @elonmusk what’s going on with @Tesla shutting down cars while they’re on the HIGHWAY!?
And then lying about it in the comments while at the same time managing it through DMs
Was this real or fake?
Taking the long road—on purpose.
We followed the rules. Secured the licensing. Passed the audits.
Because real systems don’t just scale.
They earn trust.
