Seen this one making the rounds...

The fact that it's a screenshot from X, being shared on a meta platform, from a Google, Apple, or Microsoft device is clearly lost on some.

I think it's easy to point fingers, but let's be honest.

Capitalism is based on supply and demand and the Iron Law of the Market. Which means the law IS the Market.

What people buy is what people sell. And people buy what they use, want or need.

So I guess it's like the discussion about fi****ms. Do guns kill people or do people kill people?

So sure, let's point fingers at the "rich" and blame economics, Capitalism, God, the Illuminati... who cares.

The truth is, that people aren't ready for the actual answer. They seem to seek sympathy over solutions.

Because the ACTUAL answer, is inconvenient for some.

Radical Responsibility.

Instead of asking about the world around us, let's start with the world within?

How about:

What did I not do?

What DID I do?

What part did I play?

Do I understand the entirety of the situation, or am I manking generalizations on complex topics of which I don't fully know or understand the full picture?

Could I be the one who has a limited perspective?

The sooner people stop blaming the outside world for their problems, the sooner we evolve.

The sooner people shift all of that negative victim energy into VICTORY energy, that's when the growth happens.

I am a firm believer that the Universe doesn't care about my opinions. The law is cause and effect. If you to nothing you gain nothing.

If you see the world as a victim, then you're far more likely to become one.

Do I blame the rich for my failures?

Absolutely not. Because I respect myself enough to know that I am in control of my circumstance.

Not some billionaire.

What others do, does not define me.

I am where I am because of what I choose to do with what I'm given.

It's that simple.

Blame the rich. Be poor.

But the rich are not the excuse for why you did not achieve the results your wanted.

Trump and Bezos aren't why you're miserable.

And Google isn't why you continue not to live up to your own expectations.

The world outside is a reflection of our internal, both individually and collective.

So, maybe the better question is, what choices have we made and are we currently making that has us aligned with this reality?

Can we change it? If not, can we accept it in it's entirety?

The truth is, that those are the only answers that hold actual value.

The only ones that matter.

Anything else breeds suffering, and while pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice.

Create more reasons to win over excuses to justify your failures.

My advice?

Figure out what it is you want, and the spend the rest of your life going after it.

Tomorrow isn't just any day. It's my birthday.

Which normally isn't that important to me...

My 42nd (THIS one is my HHGTTG)!

And, if anyone knows me, they know that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is BY FAR my favorite book of all time.

(The entire book series is great).

I even told Meghan Duncan that is was required reading if we were ever to get married 🤣

I have read the series maybe (not exaggerating) 100+ times?

So, for my birthday tomorrow, I want to give YOU a gift...of introducing you to one of the greatest works of fiction of all time.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Get the book. Get the Audible. Either is fine (the movie is ok, but only because I love HHGTTG so much, it really misses the mark on how deeply philosophical Adams was).

Anyway. That's all.

Growing up I was not very religious.

And as I got older, I thought all of it was a bunch of nonsense.

Things others say to keep you in line.

F**k the church, I would to say.

It's a cult. They are brainwashed.

How stupid they look, like sheep.

I would mock. I would laugh.

I would judge.

There is no God. It's just what dumb people tell themselves to feel better about life.

Or my favorite line of the unhealed trauma masking as faux new age spiritual bypassing:

"I'm not religious. I'm spiritual".

Man I used to spit that one out more than Hawk Tuah Girl spit crypto scams (is that still relevant, if not, how about a baby oil reference, that's still something that we are still focusing on right?)

But folks, what i just experienced with Charlie Kirk, and how people reacted to it, TRULY made me believe in good and evil as so much more than philosophical constructs of subjective Perception.

There is a real and true darkness that walks this world.

A devouring never ending hole that feeds endlessly on the suffering.

Festering in the hearts of men, like a creeping plague that vines and spiders it's way into our very souls, not through battle. Not through devious intent.

But through passive invitation of the non believers.

They say the greatest trick the devil ever played, was to convince the world he didn't exist.

I say the greatest trick was a far greater travesty.

I think it was to convince us that we were him.

That we were not divine by design.

And that it was not only acceptable, but that it was to be celebrated.

That somehow that by any other name, the masses would fail to notice it was the same old character in a different cloak.

What a shift the world made, into a darkness that to many, may seem terrifying.

I say this to my Lightworkers.

It's easy to be the light in an already bright room.

It's easy to hold unity when you surround yourself with others just like you.

But it's in the darkest places you shine the brightest.

And the broken bridges that most need mending.

This is it guys.

It's what you came for. It's what you were born to do.

It's our time to shine.

It's time to be the change you want to see in the universe.

You spent so much time doing shadow work and balancing chakras, what do you think you were getting ready for?

The Great Awakening was never the destination. It was always just the beginning.

Consciousness is a tool, not a trophy.

So use it to create something wonderful.

I love you.

Be the light.

We don't have the "perfect" relationship.

But we are always trying to improve.

And while the "perfect relationship" (as we define it) is both the goal we strive for while at the same time being unattainable, it doesn't mean it isn't worth working towards.

Yes. We fight. We argue. We make mistakes.

The difference is, to us, that isn't what makes a relationship "bad".

It's more of, "are you actively trying to minimize those moments and maximizing the extraordinary ones"?

And, most importantly, when the hard times happen, is there space and grace for one's Self as well as the other?

Is there forgiveness? Is there change?

Do you see these not as issues, but as opportunities for growth, both for the individuals but also the relationship?

As a lot of you know, we are together 24 hours a day.

We wake up together. We work side by side in our business together (most times 18+ hours a day 7 days a week), we go to sleep together.

Literally everything. Yes, on purpose. Lol.

We have literally only spent three nights apart our entire relationship.

The first, our wedding night (and i stayed on the phone with her ALL night).

The other two I was in the hospital, and she was running our company (and a lot of our requires over nights).

We genuinely just love being with each other and just work better together.

We like to say, we are not codependent. We are symbiotic.

We get asked all the time how we could be together so much or how hard is it to work together.

So, I wanted to share a few things we do, that will improve (at least in my opinion) any relationship:

1. We are always best friends first. Then romantic partners. Then business partners. In that order. Always.

2. Treat your relationship as if it's a child. Nurture it. Grow it. Teach it. Care about it. And most importantly love it. Not like you love an item or an experience, but unconditionally as if it's a part of both of you. Do it FOR the relationship, not just for your self or the other person.

3. Seven minute snuggles & "Two-year" hugs. We always make time, every day (some times multiple times a day) to cuddle on the couch or bed for 7 minutes. To be present together. And to touch. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we don't. Either way, we connect. The Two year hug: Research shows that if you "meaningfully" kiss your spouse before work it can add two years to your life. So, every day before we start work, we add two years lol.

4. Lastly, define what a perfect relationship looks like and communicate it. Then wake up everyday going after it. Make more reasons to achieve it and less excuses for failure. And, know that the "perfect" outcome may change. You might change. And that's OK.

It's never about the destination and ALWAYS about who you ride with and who you both become along the way.

Anyway. I say all that to say, I love this woman. In this life and all others.

Til death is for quitters.

She's my best friend and my partner in life and in business.

While I told her in person a few days ago, it bares repeating:

Happy birthday, Bug.

Thank you for choosing to do this life with me again. I'm sure I convinced you this incarnation would be fun and easy lol.

Thank you for going with it.

I love who you, and who WE, are becoming together.

Hi.

I think you're great and I love you.

Just thought you should know 🤷‍♂️

I just found out today that the Ai Platform we are developing for our Commerce Copilot company is so ahead of the curve that it's right in step with the major Tech companies and billion dollar VCs, if not a few steps ahead.

The difference is, we are taking a totally unique approach that no one has thought of to implement yet and they are doing it in Silicon Valley while we are doing it from a desk in our less than 1,000 ft house, right in the middle of our kitchen in little ol St. Louis, Missouri.

I always said that all I needed was a little faith from the right people and an opportunity, and I would dent the Universe.

And I am just getting started.

I envisioned this platform since 2012, and the stars have finally aligned for me to actually build it...

At least Mark II you guys will be seeing first, then Mark III. Then finaly OS!!

Since I was a little kid in Orlando watching the space shuttle launch in the distance from my backyard in a tiny little trailer park, I dreamt of the future...and now I can finally be a part of building it.

I know there are a lot of smart and talented people in the world, and I never claimed to be in any way superior.

But never count out a kid from Nowhere, South Carolina coming back from literal death to do something impossible.

When you know what you are here to do, the only thing that will stop you...is you.

You guys are going to be blown away. And what I am building after that will literally change EVERYTHING.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited and passionate about something.

It feels personal, you know?

Homeless at 12. High School Drop Out. Former drug addict. Died twice.

By all accounts, I shouldn't even be here right now.

But I am, and God makes no accidents.

So I'm taking it.

Doing the damn thing.

And if nothing else is realized, then at least I can prove that there is no such thing as impossible. Only varying degrees of probability. So if there's a will...There is ALWAYS a way.

We have worked so hard you guys. You have no idea.

The amount of work we have put into this. The sleepless nights. The things we missed. The times we have fought. Cried. Laughed.

What an amazing adventure it has been so far. And I can't wait to see what happens next.

For us. For you. For Everyone.

I know the world seems loud right now. And everything seems to want you sick and living in fear. Fighting and seeing a divide.

But it's just noise.

Let go and be the light. Stop making excuses and start making change.

Life is a literal gift. Take it from me. I've died twice.

Find more excuses for failure and instead find reasons for extraordinary experiences.

I love you guys. I'm sorry I haven't shared more. But now is the time of impossible levels of action, and I'm staying focused. Dialed in.

Because the world is changing fast. And I want to experience every second of it.

It's our time to shine.

We're still alive and kicking. In case you were curious. We have been neck deep in the big launch coming up next month.

We have been working around the clock and building what we both believe to be our greatest work so far.

It's only getting started guys!
