I’ve kept this under wraps all year, but its finally time to share..... Zoning battles. Permit wars. Sleepless nights. But now, it’s finally happening. Together with hospitality legend Steve Turk (25+ years with 5-star hotels in Miami) and the king of experiential design Ben Wolf (creator of the $40M Onera experiential resorts), we're officially launching a $14M one-of-a-kind flagship resort... 🌿 BÁYA — A luxury experiential and wellness retreat nestled in a tropical fruit forest just...

"Mediocrity is invisible… until talent shows up." I'm f****** obsessed with this quote now. It hides in plain sight. You don’t notice it when you’re surrounded by people who mean well, try hard, and do “pretty good” work. But the moment real talent walks in — someone operating at a completely different frequency — the illusion breaks. It’s like turning on the lights in a dim room you thought was already bright. I remember the exact moment this hit me. I had just hired a new team member —...

You don’t need another big idea.You need to execute the ones you already have. You need a who, not a how. You need a partner who won’t screw you — in court or in your calendar.Because more businesses have been torched by bad partnerships than bad products. Not from lack of skill...But from lack of alignment. What most people do wrong here is blindly jump into partnership bed with someone they met, simply because they fill a gap. So if you’re thinking about doing business with a friend,...

Two days ago, I sent you one of the most important newsletters I’ve ever written:“Everyone Wants Freedom. Very Few Understand the Cost.” In it, I broke down the two essential switches—intensity and consistency—and what it actually takes to earn a life of time freedom, wealth, and autonomy. We talked about the hustle season. The push. The climb. And the brutal truth that you don’t get to start at the finish line. But today, I want to zoom out...I want to talk about something even more...

Everyone Wants Freedom. Very Few Understand the Cost. [5 minute read] Let me start with this: Most of you do want it.The life. The freedom. The time with your kids. The morning surf. The global adventures. The deal flow. The million-dollar exits. You want to walk into Monday mornings energized by purpose — not trapped in another Zoom about "quarterly synergy alignment." (I know, I just got heartburn too reading that) You want to stop asking for time off.You want your calendar to be something...

Everyone’s Chasing the Wrong Wave… It's time for a new investor. One that's not investing for only the exits, but investing for the experiences. IIn the 2010s, people got rich flipping houses, buying rentals, and launching tech companies.But here in 2025 — those same plays are exhausted. Multifamily? Overbid, underperforming, and sitting on 2021 underwriting.Single-family rentals? You’ll need 40+ doors to replace your income.Generic Airbnbs? There are thousands per city, racing each other to...

If you're an employee wanting to become an entrepreneur - read this all the way through. If you're an entrepreneur already today - read this twice. [Today is about a 4 minute read] Up until recently - I was a disciple of "more". I believed the only way to succeed was to do more. Work more.Push more.Sleep less.Hustle endlessly. And it worked — for a while. I was a sales rep through-and-through. In corporate I was rewarded for raw activity. More calls, more followups, more meetings, more hours...

You don’t need an MBA.You don’t need a rich uncle.You don’t even need a "great idea." What you do need is a playbook that doesn’t waste 5 years of your life running around in circles. Today, I'm handing you the exact roadmap I wish someone handed me when I was grinding 60-hour weeks to buy corporate execs new Ferraris while praying for a 3% raise. This roadmap has helped hundreds of people go from employee to entrepreneur through buying small businesses— and it’s how I now own multiple small...

"Every year you don’t know how to make $1 million costs you… $1 million." That’s not a metaphor.That’s the math. So if you’re planning on being alive another 10 years and you don’t figure this out? That’s a $10,000,000 opportunity cost. Over the last 3.5 years, I’ve spent $527,000 learning how to collapse time. Not on college. Not on theory.On real-world, skin-in-the-game, high-level education. And through that journey, I uncovered a pattern: Every successful person I’ve ever interviewed...
