Homer’s Odyssey is filled with terrifying monsters; Cyclops, Scylla, Charybdis, the Sirens.
But the one who steals the most time from Odysseus is Calypso.
She doesn’t threaten him with death. She offers comfort, safety, love and keeps him from Ithaca for seven years.
Maybe that’s Homer’s deepest lesson: the greatest obstacles in life don’t always look like monsters. Sometimes, they look like comfort.
Hardships test our courage. Comfort tests our purpose.
Maybe real monsters in life don’t look like monsters !!
Patience is the single most difficult skill to master for investing well. Too, the most impactful.
Position sizing trails patience. The more patience, the largera a position can be.
One must not mistake patience for foolhardiness.
A hardy fool is just a hardy fool.
I’m convinced that you can get pretty far in life by just finishing things. The world is full of half-written books, half-built businesses, and half-kept promises. You stand out by showing up. By closing loops. By doing what you said you’d do. By having the courage to finish.
Underrated life advice: A good life is built by simply doing uncomfortable things sooner. The delayed conversation gets harder. The ignored problem gets bigger. The small repair gets more expensive. Peace is never found through avoidance. It’s found through direct early action.

One day there will be an announcement that lands like Thor’s hammer. Clarity will be brought amidst either tears of joy or tears of despair.

🚨This week, I introduced a package of housing legislation to end the GSE conservatorship and help fix America's housing supply crisis.
✅The Sustainable Homeownership Act creates a statutory path out of conservatorship for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
✅The Working Families Home Construction Act allows Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase residential construction loans at a low interest rate, helping builders access gap financing needed to produce more middle-class housing.
✅The Home Affordability Through Mortgage Simplification Act simplifies the TRID process, reduces unnecessary closing delays, lowers compliance uncertainty, and helps make the mortgage process less costly and frustrating for homebuyers.

@aerokinetic If at any point during your Aldi run you hear someone yell, “FREE THY FANNIE… and Freddie too!” don’t be alarmed. 🤣
It’s just me… somewhere around aisle 6 near the Special Buys. Good luck to us all!
Really wish they’d uplist before my family reunion.
By now I was supposed to make my grand entrance via helicopter… instead I’m calculating gas mileage and asking who’s bringing potato salad. 🚁🫤 $FNMA $FMCC
