Dune Part 2 and the essence of myth: Diving deep into the soul of humanity as I explain why mythological blockbusters are cultural phenomena.
Now, before the Dune nerds start attacking me, I know the point that Frank Herbert was trying to get across. Messianic Political Extremists that claim themselves as the “savior” are probably not a good idea to put all your faith in. No man can wield infinite power.
That said, the call to adventure and the urge to prove yourself in the world is a very natural and good drive. Characters on the adventures experience real emotion: Love, suffering, death...all part of the human experience that we naturally want and need to feel. Myths can touch a deep level that all people understand.
This is why these types of films become huge cultural hits. They have always been the stories that define us as a species. Holding archetypes that have been around since the beginning of time.
There is nothing like going to a blockbuster movie, with non stop action and thrill, while it still manages to touch deeply into the soul. This version of cinema you can't take your eyes off of. Every life struggle is represented in its highest form. The hero is connected to the highest possible emotions one can feel, because the highest possible stakes are present. His or her loved ones dying or in danger of death, political and spiritual ramifications, oftentimes the fate of the universe at stake.
We are all the main characters of our own stories. When we watch a movie or read a book like Dune, a piece of us calls out to be on a path like Paul Atreides. The myth, highest form representing the call of life, the most responsibility put on your shoulders, and ultimately the choice between being a hero or villain.
This is why other movies like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings were also so culturally powerful. The main characters accept their burdens and go on the biggest adventure possible, up against great evil, insurmountable odds, only to overcome through the power of love, or fall victim to their own darkness and urge for grandiose fulfillment.
In Lord of the Rings, Aragorn is tested when Frodo asks if he would destroy the ring and he closes his hand around it.
In Star Wars, Luke is tested when the emperor fuels his rage to kill his father and succumb to the dark side, yet he throws the lightsaber away.
In Dune, Paul is tested when the forces around him push him to become the messiah, and he makes a choice to drink the water of life.
Taking the steps on the journey, building up skills, overcoming painful emotions, emerging great power within yourself, taking the final test of one's character, and watching it play out into the world. It is a longing that will never cease and is innate to all of us.
This is why mythology is more true than you could imagine. Fiction, especially ones encircling the highest order and value of the human condition, are more real than non-fiction. It is why these resonate with us on a massive scale. They are dramatized to the absolute extreme of what is inside us all.
Go see Dune Part 2. It is powerful storytelling sure to kindle the fire that always had a spark.
From $0 to $6,000,000+ (My Amazon Journey, Lessons for You, and the Future)
Buckle up, this one’s gonna be extremely long, but possibly the most useful piece of content you will read in this space
I started selling on Amazon 4 years ago right after graduating college
$1,100 to my name
0 direction on what I was going to do - marketing degree wasn’t worth shit
Decided to start reselling as a bridge to whatever job I was going to get
First month, I made like $600 profit
3 months later, $25k profit in a single month (pools goin crazy at the time)
This compounded with other Covid related stuff and stacked $8-25k a month for the rest of 2020 and so on into 2021
2021-2022, not much changed
Constant 5 figure profit months living the ideal life of freedom I had wanted to achieve
Learned a ton about OA in the process and made some good connections
2023, goal was $3M revenue and to throw in some coaching since I had so much free time
Well, 2023 entailed far more than that
Early in the year, I opened my coaching program and charged a very, very low rate and gave insane value
This was in hopes of a 100% success rate (lol very naive)
I learned quickly, the fit of the client to you is the most important aspect of this style of business
I am a run and gun, pound out massive knowledge, you do the work type of guy
Lotta mfs need a complete hand holding, say your goals in the mirror, tony robbins type shit just to get on their computer
This was a big reality check and led to extreme mental stress and inevitable burnout
Reading thousands of Keepas a week, getting hundreds of 1 on 1 calls a month, answering the same questions over and over again
Hours taken from the biz + Other Biz ventures seemingly doing well = Huge decrease in motivation for Amazon
Not a problem though tbh
Ended the year with FAR more cash than all years combined (and 2nd most profitable year out of the 4)
I would say my Amazon experience has been much better than most as well
- NEVER missed a CC payment
- Never asked for cash from anyone
- Never took a loan
- Made damn near 7 figures in profit
- Helped 10+ people quite literally 3-10x their income from Amazon
$15k revenue months to $50k profit months
$8k rev months to $30k profit months
List goes on
Eventually, I’ll compile some insane case studies from my coaching last year
But that's not what this is about
See, throughout this whole process of doing this I got some insanely valuable advice and connections that have ultimately made me decide I am going to move away from the Amazon space
I am not as passionate anymore and it simply doesn’t align with my long term goals
I was (and kinda still am) making 5 figures profit every month, but I am on pace to make much more with other ventures now
Juice doesn’t seem worth the squeeze (for me personally)
This year, much of my content will be much different
HOWEVER
I am leaving the space with one final informational dump
I have yet to see anyone do anything like this
And what inspired this:
Got a call from the owner of a prep center I use and he said out of every client he has had (300+), I am the best at what I do
He said there is no way I can walk away from it lol
Kind gesture and I greatly appreciated it, but I am still walking away from it
But after that call and shortly after a $10M+ a year seller saying I was one of the best guys he had seen when it comes to sourcing
I decided I definitely can’t just keep all that shit in my brain for no reason
So, this will, undoubtedly, be the most valuable piece of content ever produced on the OA side of Amazon
What is it?
An Exposé of everything I have ever done or heard of on Amazon
Everything I have ever learned
An 8 hour + long webinar that WILL NOT stop until you guys are out of questions
Nothing is off the table (aside from my personal relations in the space ofc)
I will answer anything
- Most profitable sites to source from
- List of most profitable ASIN’s I have ever sold (Inventory Lab deep dive)
- Ability to send a Seller ID and will break down how they likely get their inventory
Whatever you want, you get it
All anonymous - questions will not be tied to you and you can use a pseudonym during the webinar
But 100% Transparency from me
This will burn bridges I am sure lol but I am leaving, I don’t care
This will not be recorded and an NDA will be required to attend
This will not be a motivational hoorah to get you to “visualize” not being a fucking loser
You can find that shit at one of these meet-ups or “exclusive” coaching programs
You won’t have to be disappointed that I launch a course, more coaching, some BS group or whatever after this
That won’t be happening
If you want to stop wasting money on all the bullshit info-products, conferences, challenges, etc. in the future, this is for you

I will see you there
