Your Environment Is Either Your Anchor or Your Launchpad.

Story Time....

In March 2022, I did the thing everyone says they want to do.

I quit my $250,000/year sales job, booked a one-way ticket to Greece, and set off to travel the world full-time.

Cue the confetti, right?

​

Nah.

Within weeks, my long-term relationship ended on a cliffside in Greece.

She didn’t want marriage or kids. I did. So I wished her well, and we parted ways like adults.

Then came the abyss—a lonely, silent, emotionally hollow void masked by travel pics and fake smiles on Instagram.

No business. No brand. No content. No clue what came next.

Just me… floating. (for literally months)

Fast-forward: I Return Home That November '22

I get home in time for Thanksgiving, and walk into my empty house (she had moved out with the furniture).

Most of my friends and I had barely kept in contact while I traveled, but my birthday was coming up in December.

I decided to reach out to a few of them to see if anyone wanted to do something.

A friend from college invites me to celebrate down in Miami. Says we’ll party. Catch up. Reconnect. I was pumped!

At this point I was borderline depressed and finally starting to come out of my funk. A light at the end of the tunnel.

My plane lands and I meet up with him at a bar to grab a few drinks before staying with him at his apartment.

He shows up high (on almost every pill that can be found in Miami) and racks up a huge bar tab.

“Hey man, sorry about what everyone said. I tried to defend you in the group chat…”

Wait—what?

Apparently, my old “friends” were roasting me. Saying I had come home because I was broke. That I ran out of money and failed.

People I’d known and supported for years.

He then goes to the bathroom and 40 minutes later, never comes back. He ended up ditching me at the bar, going back to his apartment, locking the door and turning his phone off. $300 bar tab.

I then go get myself in hotel and on the night of my 28th birthday went out to dinner by myself in Miami.

The next AM I go to the airport to fly home to Atlanta - back to my empty ass house with a group of "friends" I no longer wanted to ever speak to again.

I cut everyone.

Blocked. Unfollowed. Gone.

No explanations. No exit interviews. Just subtraction.

Success Is Not an Addition Game. It’s a Subtraction Game.

You don’t add your way to success.

You cut the fat. You let parts of yourself die—versions of you that no longer serve who you’re becoming.

That’s what I did.

I called my mom. Told her I couldn’t stay in Atlanta.

My life there was a graveyard of dead friendships, a dead relationship, and a dead-end environment.

She understood.

I packed my car up that Friday at 5 AM with everything that would fit and drove to Austin, Texas.

Ended up selling all my old furniture and even my whole rental portfolio in Atlanta.

Within 2 Weeks, Everything Changed

I got an apartment on the water—my dream spot.

Met entrepreneurs who inspired me. Made friends who celebrated my wins like they were their own. Launched the Action Academy. Started building the business that now makes $2M+/year and growing.

None of it would’ve happened if I hadn’t changed my environment.

Here’s What You Need to Ask Yourself (Be Honest):

• Do your friends get inspired when you win… or uncomfortable?
• Are you the one pulling everyone up… or getting pulled down?
• Are you living where you thrive, or just where you landed?
• Are your surroundings feeding your ambition… or suffocating it?

If you hesitated, it’s already time.

Move cities. Change circles. Join new rooms. Find people playing at a higher level.

Yes, it’s scary. Yes, it’s painful. But everything you want exists on the other side of discomfort.

The Investment That 100x’ed My Life

It wasn’t stocks. Or real estate. Or crypto.

It was environment.

Everything changed when I changed where I was and who I was around.

If you’re in a place that doesn’t serve your future — physically, emotionally, or socially — move.

Move cities. Move apartments. Move communities.

And if you need a place to land, that’s why we built Action Academy.

It’s filled with people who:

• Left their jobs
• Bought their time back
• Built cash-flowing assets
• And are now winning together

We don’t do ego or unit-measuring contests. We do real support, real wins, and real community.
