One week on these bad boys and BAM: - Passive income? DOUBLED, suckers—money rains while I nap! - Slapped on 15 lbs of pure BEAST muscle, veins poppin' like roadmaps! - Conquered a friggin' 14er, laughed at oxygen the whole way up! - Thrivin' on ONE hour of shut-eye—caffeine's

Bootstrapping is extremely hard. But extremely rewarding. I actually never quite understood getting VC money, trading a boss for investors. Which arguably could be worse.
Bootstrapping is harder than building a VC backed company. Fight me.

This is why I currently rent, and invest the difference.
A hill I will die on: Buying a a home is almost always not a great financial investment. yes, even taking into account leverage. looking at averages, investing in SP500 is more profitable (on average). and also, that's ok! buy because its a great emotional ivnestment.

Brain Press ordered @FinPhilosopher. Can’t wait for my passive income to 10x.
Christmas in October. Time to finally get my Brain Press from @FinPhilosopher. I fully expect my net worth to double overnight, my fitness to improve, my marriage to thrive, and my kids to immediately consider me their favorite parent.

The older I get, the more I realize you can get pretty damn far in life by just doing what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus deeply. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

These 7 are powerful. What a great dad.
My dad turns 70 today. No single person has had a greater impact on how I move through the world. But he rarely sat me down to teach lessons or offer lectures. He just lived in a way that showed me what mattered most. Here are 7 lessons he taught me—by living them: 1. Always

17) Web3 is a joke. Crypto is worthless. Bitcoin is a fad and is 100% speculative. Massive waste of electricity. Solves a problem that doesn’t exist.
A few controversial things I believe: 1) A grown man with a family has no business getting on a ladder to put up Christmas lights. 2) a larger vehicle is safer than a smaller vehicle. Put your family in an SUV. Period. Crash ratings are a scam. 3) Pitbulls are a public
