No more kids for me. My wife had the jokes when I got home from the doctor today. 😆

I still have my balls you idiots. The amount of trolls in here is insane. For those that appreciate the humor… thank you. A vasectomy is an incredibly minor procedure. If you’re done having kids, I’d encourage any man to do it.

My dentist’s reception desk is manned by a woman in the Philippines on video. When you walk in, an iMac is facing you with her on camera to check you in. Owner said he struggled with high turnover and bad employees. Philippines woman has been flawless by comparison.

My new home office is complete.

You do realize nothing changes for the male, right? I just won’t have any more kids than my 2.

This is the wild story of how I made $1,036,175 during the COVID lockdowns by rapidly creating a new physical product in 7 days. In April 2020, during the lockdowns I created 2 things that changed my life: 1. – I launched Shepherd (eventually renamed Somewhere[dot]com). 4 years later we sold it for $52,000,000. 2. – I created a new physical product that made us $1,036,175 in 60 days. This is the untold story of #2.

I still have my balls you idiot.

Low IQ tends to do that to you.

8 weeks ago I hired a personal chef for my family. 👨‍🍳 It's been the best thing I've delegated recently. - Healthy meals all week - Saved time (no more cooking or deciding what to eat) - Improved quality of life Here's how much it all cost:

My wife and I just finished building out our home gym. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

A stunning stat I read today: 70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the 2nd generation, and 90% by the 3rd.

Last year I sold my business for $52,000,000. Here’s every idea I tried before my big win:

100% these kids are Andrew Tate worshipping dorks with ‘The Game’ on their nightstand next to their bottle of lotion. 😂

Do you even know what a vasectomy is

You’re an idiot. I wanted to do it to make sure I didn’t have any surprises. Happy with my 2 kids. Nothing changes for the male, no change in testosterone. Thanks for the sarcastic concern, tough guy. B

and why is that

🤯I just signed a legal contract that was written by AI (OpenAI's ChatGPT) After I signed, the other party let me know AI wrote the whole contract from a few terms they told it to include.

Here she is! Exterior renderings of the house we’re building in Raleigh, NC. It’s been almost a year of design.

Goodbye, Texas. We officially moved to Raleigh, NC. Love it here.

Good riddance Tesla Model X. You had cool technology, horrible build quality, and tons of time at Tesla Service. Worst car I’ve ever owned. ✌️

We’re finally moving into our new house next month. It’s been a 16 month build.

My wife and I just finished our backyard project. Before / after

Dear Jaguar, you screwed up. Hire me as your CEO. Here’s what I would do.

There are currently 1,606 G Wagon’s for sale on AutoTrader right now. That’s more than I’ve ever seen. Crypto boys are hurting.

I sold my business for $52,000,000... now what? One year ago I owned 3 businesses: - Boutique hotel in downtown St. Louis - 7-figure e-commerce business - 150+ person agency Fast forward today and I've sold all 3. 1. Somewhere[dot]com – May of this year, I sold a controlling stake in Somewhere (formerly Shepherd) at a $52m valuation. I stepped down as CEO and took a $26m payday. I still own ~13% and have a seat on the board as an advisor. 2. Peel – September of last year I sold Peel, the e-commerce brand I’ve owned with my buddy Jon since 2013. It was a very modest acquisition. 3. The Ludwig – In June of this year I sold The Ludwig building, our boutique hotel / mixed use building. We started it in 2017. Now what? After divesting of my main 3 businesses, I’m taking time off. I’m “retired” which means I’m spending more time with my wife and 2 kids, investing more time in forgotten (and new) hobbies, playing with my cars, and tinkering on projects. I’ve always loved writing and sharing lessons learned, so here we are. It’s been about 3 months since I had my big exit. I’ve bought a few cars, took a bunch of vacations, had a lot of nice dinners and cocktails.. and now life is back to normal again. What am I doing with the money? For me entrepreneurship is the “risk” bucket of my investment portfolio. Now that I’ve made money, I’m taking the boring conservative approach and putting it all into index funds and bonds. If I can grow my investments at an average of 8% for the rest of my life, I’ll be very happy I've made some small real estate and PE investments as well. What I did to celebrate I absolutely love cars. Always have. So I indulged and bought a few I’ve had on my list: 1. 993 Generation 911 Carrera S. blue interior with the hardback sport seats. 2. 911 GT3 in PTS British Racing Green with buckets, 6 speed manual, and carbon ceramic brakes. This was my dream color find. It nearly matches Somewhere’s colors. 3. AMG G 63 for Jaimie... but who are we kidding, I drive it a ton too. I also bought my parents a new car as a THANK YOU. I took a bunch of trips - Cabo with my old college roommate - Colorado Springs with my wife and kids - North Carolina for 2 weeks (city, mountains, ocean) - Booked a 2 week trip to Europe with my wife and parents to celebrate my mom's retirement. Today I had a lot of fun in the aftermath of the acquisition (I still am!) but it’s time to focus on my health. In my opinion, if you’re rich and have a lot of time on your hands, there’s absolutely no excuse for being unhealthy. We did a lot of indulging but now I’m going hardcore. - I’ve been working out with heavy weights 3 days a week in our home gym and eating a much more strict diet. The goal? Get ripped. - I’m trying to go from 16% body fat to under 13% while packing on more muscle. - I’m headed to get my blood drawn to get a baseline for a lot of health markers, but mainly checking my testosterone levels. I’m 34 and aiming to increase my T levels naturally. - I just signed up for a stem cell treatment for my hair. I’m not balding, but my hairline has receded. Apparently stem cells have been proven to reinvigorate dying hair follicles. I’ll report back in 6-12 months with how that worked. Question for you: what would you like to see me write more about?

I sold my company for $52 million earlier this year. My secret weapon: I had 2 Americans on my team and 150+ international folks. Finance, ops, sales, developers, and execs. All for 80% less than US talent. You can do this too. Here are 7 people ready to hire today:

Doing my part to feed the trolls.

This is the wild story of how I made $1,036,175 during the COVID lockdowns by rapidly creating a new physical product in 7 days. In April 2020, during the lockdowns I created 2 things that changed my life: 1. I launched Shepherd (eventually renamed Somewhere[dot]com). 4 years later we sold it for $52,000,000. 2. I created a new physical product that made us $1,036,175 in 60 days. This is the story of #2.

You know that famous video of Elon Musk taking delivery of a McLaren F1 he bought for $1,000,000? I just learned his proceeds from the acquisition of Zip2 was $22m. He spent $1m of his $22m proceeds on that car. I am equally impressed and horrified.

My new pandemic hobby is browsing monthly rentals in Bali for 2021. Most of these are ~$3k per month.

🎉 Big news: Today we sold a controlling interest in Shepherd, valuing the business at $52 million. I’m hanging onto 13.5% and will sit on the board. I’m stepping down as CEO — in my place we’ve hired Petar Nedyalkov as Shepherd’s new CEO. He joins us from Ease[dot]com where he was their COO. He’s the right person to lead Shepherd through the next stages of growth. Nick Huber acquired the shares, with Enduring Ventures being one of his lead investors. Nick has been a minority shareholder in Shepherd since 2022 and now takes control with the investor group. Together we’ve built up a ton of mutual trust over the years, so I feel great about this next chapter. Joemer and I started the business just 4 years ago in April 2020 with nothing. It has been a wild ride to say the least! I’m excited for what’s ahead. We continue to grow every single month and have an amazing team of 150+ people to carry things forward. As for me, I’m going to chill for a while, hang with family, and invest in hobbies. If I get the itch I’ll start another company :-)

Our cabin is almost done! 📡 Starlink internet tomorrow 🧼 Final cleaning Thursday 🛋 Furniture install next week

My dream office is basically a loft above a garage full of cars — enough space for me and a few local friends to co-work. I just put a deposit to build just that down the road from my home. It will be done in 2024. Will look similar to this:

Over 265,000 people in the United States have a net worth of $30 million or more. 265 thousand people. That number doesn’t even make it sound that rare.

My wife and I have started to consider the idea of moving away from Texas. Cities were considering: - Raleigh, NC - Nashville, TN (Brentwood area?) - Charlotte, NC - St. Louis, MO (Ladue area) Anything else that’s similar we should consider? We want big TREES, great nature, four seasons of weather. International airport, and ideally country clubs nearby. States with a high income tax are a no go. 5-6% state income tax is max I want to do coming from 0%. Summers in Texas are the worst. We can’t do it anymore.

🏡 Investment property update: $150k purchase New tenant in for $1,695/mo on 2 year lease. All utilities paid by them. Mortgage, taxes, insurance = $818/mo = 20%+ annual cash yield

My home office got some upgrades.

Why I'm Leaving Texas + What's Next My wife and I have decided to leave Dallas, Texas. After considering many cities we decided on Raleigh, North Carolina! We’ve purchased ~1.5 acres in the city and are in the thick of designing a custom home (more on that soon). We’ll be here in Texas until it’s ready late next year. But why leave? Below is the 18 month journey we went on to find the right place for us. It’s about how we decided where to go, what we considered, our values, where we’re moving, and why. How we got here: I was born in Texas and lived here until I was 19. Then life took me to St. Louis, South America, Canada, and even a stint of nomadic life in Europe + Asia. When it was time to settle and start our family, I convinced Jaimie (my wife) we should move to North Texas. We moved back in the middle of 2019. It was the right decision for our family at the time. Fast forward to 2023... we started discussing the idea of not living in Texas forever. We have a house, a cabin, 2 kids, friends, family, routines, school, and commitments here. This was not a choice taken lightly. What we don’t like about Texas: Let me start by saying Texas has a lot of great things going for it. People that live here will cite more personal freedoms, no state income tax, and lots of jobs / opportunities. That’s all true! However, there’s a lot of stuff that bothers us: 1. It used to be extremely affordable. Now it’s pretty comparable to most of the USA. 2. Insane heat that seems to last for 7+ months out of the year. We’ll clock 50+ days over 100 degrees this year with tons more in the high 90s. You do not live outside in Texas. 3. The lack of trees and nature. It’s flat and things struggle to grow due to the climate. Grass in most of Texas is actually a weed. It’s not soft. People put turf in their backyards now. Overall the nature here is pretty ugly and brown. 4. Horrible traffic! It’s not rare for it to take us 30 minutes to go 3 miles if there’s bad congestion. It’s 2+hrs to get across the metroplex. 5. Constant construction — the roads are always being widened, which means they're really narrowed until it's done. There’s work trucks throwing rocks everywhere. Driving in Texas is a constant battle and detour. 6. Crazy spring hail storms and wind. Here’s a not-so-fun fact: Dallas is a windier city than Chicago aka “The Windy City”. This year about 1/3rd of our neighborhood had to have their roof replaced from hail damage. The homes are all less than 4 years old! 7. Unsustainable population growth — this brings a slew of issues. Things are more expensive here. Homes are being thrown together, Inflation is not the same everywhere in the country. I’ve noticed food bills and drink bills being noticeably cheaper in other cities than a nice restaurant in DFW. 8. Lack of charm in buildings and homes. DFW isn’t very old, so there’s little character. Lots of strip malls and thrown together homes. There’s just not a lot of historic charm. 9. There’s a pride in being Texan that when taken too far is just off-putting. Texas acts like it’s shit don’t stink. Sitting in traffic is soul sucking. Deciding what's important to u First and foremost, we decided we needed to get out of the suburbs. We wanted to be closer inside a city, but likely needed to be in a smaller city. We needed to be in a place that had better nature and more moderate temperatures throughout the year. Jaimie and I had countless conversations about what we valued, what we wanted our days to look like, how we wanted to raise our kids, what we wanted to avoid, and what we would be wiling to sacrifice. No city is perfect, but below is a list of things that mattered to us. 1. Trees! Sometimes you forget how NOT seeing large trees and greenery daily affects you. We want to play outside with our kids and enjoy nature. The more trees the better. 2. Be able to spend time outside After 5 years in the Texas suburbs, we realized this was taking its toll on us in a really negative way. For 6-7 months of the year, everyone just stays inside unless you’re in a pool. Being inside so much isn’t good for you. 3. Income tax & property tax Not paying additional income tax was a big concern of mine. Your money goes so much further just by choosing where you live. I am already paying 37% tax on our income. I didn’t want to increase that to 50% by moving to a place like California or New York. 4. Beautiful homes Having a beautiful home has always been important to us, so we needed to choose somewhere we liked the architecture. If you spend enough time looking at Zillow, you’ll notice home design is very different in various parts of the country. We wanted a city with an abundance of great design. 5. Family & Friends nearby? This was admittedly a factor we knew we’d likely have to give up, at least initially. Moving would mean leaving family and making new friends. (side note: it turns out I know a lot of cool people in the cities we considered!) 6. Good Vibes This may sound stupid, but hear me out. Some cities just have a good vibe and others are off-putting. We were very aware of how different cities made us feel. Every city whispers something. Cities like LA whisper that status and fame are important. Others feel like family values are cherished. And others feel like sports and beer are life. A big part of this feeling is the industry and makeup of the population. Is it a banking city? Is it an agriculture city? Do families live there or only young people? Is there only a few big employers? This are the types of things that affect the culture of a city. 7. Airport We love to travel so living somewhere with an international airport is important. Too small of an airport and travel becomes annoying multi-stop flights. If we could, we wanted the closest airport to have a lot of direct flights to places we frequented. 8. Restaurants Some cities have great restaurants and others just have burgers, bar food, and fast food chains everywhere. We like to eat out at nice places and try to eat healthy, so a city's food scene was important to consider. 9. Schools The quality of our kid's education is important to us. To get that education, can they go to public school or do we have to do private? We knew some cities and neighborhoods would require us to send them exclusively to private school. Others had 10/10 public schools. It was something to consider during our search and the cost of living. 10. Traffic I know traffic will always exist in city's, but how bad it can get in a city is very different in one vs another. Does going 10 miles take 1 hour during rush hour, or does it go from 10 minutes to 20 minutes? We wanted to be aware of how bad traffic was in each place we considered. The less the better. 11. Proximity to other places In Texas if we want to go somewhere, we have to fly unless we're visiting Austin. However other places (particularly east & west coast cities) have a lot of great places to visit within driving distance. I loved the idea of being able to take short road trips to other cities, the mountains, or the ocean. ...so with those values in mind, we decided to go on a hunt for a place that checked as many boxes as possible. When you can live anywhere, how do you choose? When we agreed we should consider leaving Texas, everywhere became an option. Being able to choose from any city is a luxury, but it's also overwhelming. To help narrow things down, we setup some initial criteria. 1. No extremely harsh winters 2. No extremely high state income taxes. I decided around 5-6% additional state income tax (on top of federal) was the max I wanted to deal with. Remember, I'm paying 0% state income tax in Texas. This removed places like California (13.3%), New York State (10.9%), and Hawaii (11%) to name a few. It’s hard to justify paying $200k-$500k more per year in taxes. I then spent a ton of time looking at Zillow and reading about the lifestyle and weather of various cities. From that we made a short list of places to consider. Some of the many places we considered: - Raleigh, NC - Charlotte, NC - Nashville, TN - Ladue, Missouri - Kansas City - Atlanta, Georgia - Salt Lake City - Multiple cities in Tennessee - Multiple cities in Washington - Multiple cities in Colorado - Multiple cities in Florida The city scoring spreadsheet: With the above criteria in mind, we began visiting and scoring various cities based on the values we outlined. Some we ruled out very quickly based on quick research. Jaimie and I are well traveled so we had been to a lot of the cities we considered. Ultimately I got nerdy with it and started a scoring system in a spreadsheet. Staying and just moving closer into the city was always an option, so I kept 3 nearby cities in DFW we liked to score others against. (👇link to the spreadsheet in the next tweet ) We would rate each based on 15 things that were important to us. Each thing got a score of 1-10 (very bad to very good). For example: if property income taxes were 0% (you can't get better than that) we'd give that a 10. If there was a ton of traffic in that city, that category would get a 1. Everything was scored relative to the other cities. Note: a more advanced way to do this would have been to give greater weight to things that are of more importance to you. For example, we value great nature way more than good shopping, but still want to consider both. Choosing Raleigh, North Carolina The Nashville area and Raleigh were our top 2 contenders. Ultimately we decided on Raleigh, North Carolina! Raleigh stole our hear from the beginning. It had most of what we were looking for and a charming vibe we couldn’t explain. We found ourselves missing it after visits. There’s so much to love. There's tall trees everywhere! Aside from the city itself, it has great proximity to the beach and mountains. You can get to the mountains in ~3hrs and the beach in 2hrs. There’s even direct flights to Europe. It just felt right. ...but where in Raleigh? Once we decided on a city, deciding WHERE in that city to live is a whole additional journey. To figure that out, we took many trips, viewed houses, neighborhoods, and stayed in different parts of the city. We generally drove around a ton to get a feel for everywhere. We ended up purchasing ~1.5 acres in the north side of the city where we can get to most places in 10-15 minutes or less. Today We’re now in the thick of designing a custom home. We’ll be here in Texas until it’s ready next year. We're working with an amazing team of architects, interior designers, landscape designers, and one impressive builder. I’ll be sharing more about the process designing the home soon. For now, here’s a sketch of the front elevation. Consider where you live I’m so excited to change things up and optimize around the things we value. Our environment has a huge impact on how we feel day to day. Is your environment right for you? Does it affect you positively or negatively? Are you doing what you say you value? Maybe you should move somewhere else too. You only get one life. Live it well.

Are you being serious? A vasectomy is not castration 🤡

congratulations! I have 2 and they're the best. Just don't want more.

I ran an iPhone case company for 10+ years. Every year we had new case designs ready to ship to customers for the next iPhone... BEFORE that year’s new iPhone was ever announced at the Apple Keynote. We made millions using this strategy. Here's how we did it 👇

While looking for investment properties in St. Louis, I stumbled on this gem: $349,000 for 28,000 sqft. It’s a former catholic school that needs a rehab. Could be 15-20 apartments.

I was making over $500k per month personally before I sold my business. Some months? $600K+. Profits were growing. Compounding fast. Then the acquisition offers started rolling in. And I found myself facing one of the hardest decisions of my life.

Checked off a goal today. I just made my 13-year-old self very proud and ordered a car. I’ve always wanted one. Now I wait 7-9 months for it to be built.

So many stupid trolls that actually think a vasectomy is having your balls removed 😂

6 week update: “Why didn’t we move here sooner?!”

Woot! My offer was just accepted on this investment property in Missouri. 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 living, 1 awesome outdoor bar space.

lol what

Last night our Villa was broken into with us all inside. It happened at 3am. We rented a nice villa in Marbella, Spain for a month. They came into the main bedroom where my wife and I were sleeping. We heard rummaging through our closet — initially I thought it was my son coming in. I called for him… Right then there was a loud noise that made us jump out of bed. Jaimie came face to face with them around the corner where the closet opening meets her bedside. With their flashlight in her face she SCREAMED, shouting in spanish “Our babies are in the home, you mother f*ckers!” We think her screams right in their face freaked them out. They immediately ran. My mother in-law ran to the kids while we looked around the house for any more intruders. We are ok but very shaken. Our baby was asleep downstairs and my son + my in-laws were upstairs. They took my nice watch, 2 designer purses of hers, 500 cash, wallets, etc. That loud noise we heard was them ripping the safe off the wall. ~$7k of stuff taken in total. It could have gone MUCH worse... The police told us there was a string of these last night in our neighborhood. The same night, the intruders tied up a couple in their villa and beat up the dad while stealing everything. Their 3 kids were asleep. The police also told us the villa has been broken into 3 times now. Needless to say we no longer feel safe here and got a hotel. They broke into our car too. Stay vigilant out there. I’m thankful we saved my 3 year old son from the trauma. He thinks mommy saw a big bug. The police that came were “the bug guys”

People need to learn to have a sense of humor.

🏝 Landed in Bali where I’ll be for a while. Here’s 3 things that have blown my mind so far: 1. An LTE sim card with 37GB of data for 1 month is roughly $8.45 USD 2. A 1 hour massage at your home is $14 USD 3. Any food you want can be delivered for $1 USD

If you were to design your dream home, which features would you include? Things I’m looking into: - Sauna - Steam shower - Heated bathroom floor - Recirculating instant hot water - Whole home water filtering - Lighting control - AC in garage What else?

We’re finally almost finished building our dream home. Here’s some of my favorite features:

I always heard Red Dye 40 was bad. I didn’t realize how bad until it wrecked my toddler. Last week on a road trip, we let the kids grab a fruity rice crispy treat at Buc-ee’s. My family normally eats very clean. But vacation vibes, right? Big mistake. My 22-month-old—who naps *daily* and sleeps 12 hours a night—didn’t nap in the car, wouldn’t go to bed, and woke up WIRED at 1:30am. I walked her around the hotel lobby and downtown Charleston for 6+ hours so my wife and son could sleep. She was buzzing like she had a Red Bull IV the entire time! Red 40 is banned in several countries. In the U.S.? It’s in snacks marketed to kids. Never again. Stay away from that garbage, it’s no joke.

This year I promised myself i would pay for help around the house. Hiring a chef has been the best investment for us.

Our chef comes Tuesdays and does a full day of cooking in our kitchen. Average cost so far to have a personal chef: ~$260/week in labor ~$250/week in groceries Total cost = $2,147 per month to have a personal chef!

Almost ready to move into our new house. Here’s my new office, where I will browse AutoTrader… err I mean work.

Today I learned the quote “a jack of all trades is a master of none” has more to it, which changes the meaning back to a compliment. “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” To all the generalists, keep doing what you’re doing!

I’m in Miami this week. I can see why all of San Francisco tech would move here. No contest, it’s a better lifestyle.

The Highlights - Idea to final design in 2.5 days - Went into production on day 5 in China - Launched on our website day 7 - $50k in sales by the end of day 7 and passed $100k 2 days after launching (the 8th day) - By Day 67 we crossed $1,036,175 by selling 27,227 units of the Touch Tool

lol pretty sure that’s my kitchen in the background. Nice try on the “gotcha” though.

- Writes long Twitter thread about hard-won business learnings: +5 followers - Tweets about ordering a Lambo: +400 followers 🤷🏼‍♂️ Now I understand why charlatans use exotic cars in their sales videos.

I just bought my parents a car. It was a thank you gift. After I sold Somewhere (formerly Shepherd), I sat my parent down and told them “THANK YOU” with tears in my eyes. I’m 34 now, but when I was 19 I dropped out of school. It was my parents dream for their kids to graduate college. I dropped out rather sneakily. I did 2 years of undergrad and then told my parents I would transfer to a school in San Francisco for something in technology. In the meantime, I would take 1 semester off so I could start in the fall. For the semester gap I got into a program in Chile, called Startup Chile. The program gives you a $40,000 equity-free grant and a 1 year visa to move to Chile. I used the funds to start my first tech company. I told them it was a great opportunity and I would start school again in the Fall. I never went back. I knew it pained my mom. Now as a father, I’m amazed and grateful they allowed me to explore my ambitions and take an alternative path to success. They could have very easily pressured me to go back to school and not supported my dreams of starting a business. I love my parents and would have caved to their pressure or resented them. But they didn’t do that. They were gracious and didn’t pressure me. I had many rocky years and struggled for a long time in business, but it all worked out in the end for me. I’ll take that lessons with me as my kids grow into young adults. Thank you mom & dad!

This is the story of how 2 strangers from across the world met to build a fully remote business with 100+ employees generating 7-figures in annual profits. 👇

I did something I’ve always wanted to do: I hired a personal chef for my family. It was much cheaper than I expected. It’s about $36/hr. They will come once a week and cook 3-5 healthy meals in our kitchen in 1 session. Might increase to twice a week.

The douchiest sales tactic I constantly see guys say after you haven’t replied to their 5th cold email: “At this point I’ll assume increasing sales isn’t a priority for you right now” Okay jerk.

Our chef cooks in our kitchen every Tuesday for the entire day. She arrives at 10am and is done by 5pm. She typically makes: - 2 breakfast options - 2 lunch options - 4 dinner options We eat on all of it throughout the week.

Yeah try to eat pretty healthy. No way I’m eating most of this junk food. She bought it all for the joke.

It was a long search for this classic. My new 911 Carrera S. Last of the air cooled generation in the last year they made it. Fun fact: I fell in love with the 993 generation 911 after doing a 1700+ mile road trip in my cousin's a couple years ago. Prior to that I didn’t quite “get it”. This one is a special find that I'll cherish with my son.

Lol @ net worth of 500 trillion.

I bought land in Oklahoma 7 months ago ago for $69k. Today I sold it for $125k. Did I do this NFT flip right?!

I signed the deal. We sold for $52,000,000. Life-changing money for me, my wife, and our two kids. No regrets. I still own a minority stake. The business is thriving. Maybe one day, I'll feel the Regret of Greed. But I’ll never feel the Regret of Loss with this. And that’s why I made the right call.

Our spending on eating out has gone down because of this, so the total cost of hiring a chef is netting out to be a bit cheaper than I originally expected. We no longer have to think about what's for dinner. There's always something healthy and delicious for us in the fridge.

Right after I sold my business the IRS told me they were going to audit me. Talk about a buzzkill. I just got word I won my audit. No changes. I have an amazing lawyer / CPA that helped. Fees to defend were ridiculous, it was time consuming, and annoying... but we won! 😅

Here she is: my new 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD in Verde Citrea. This thing is wild fun!

I told Finn to give me 20

I have a close friend that got his wife pregnant days before his vasectomy.

People think I'm crazy when I say my house will be finished in 6-7 months from now including pool and landscaping. It has a very high level of detail with lots of paneling, custom details, etc. They started the build at the start of the year. Two big reasons they're so efficient: 1. The builder we're working with is putting on an absolute masterclass in attention to detail and planning. They're truly a well oiled machine. They've been incredible to work with. Masters of their trade. 2. They will have multiple trades working on the house at the same time. Today there's framers finishing interior detail, plumbers, HVAC guys, fireplace masons, and exterior trim guys all working. That's 5 different groups all working at once! On previous build's I've done, if a plumber shows up and the HVAC guy is working, he turns around and goes to another job site. They don't want to work on top of each other. Here's where we're at after 2.5 months of work.

We’re leaving Texas and moving to Raleigh, North Carolina next month. Our original plan was to move when our new house was finished end of 2025. Buuuuut, we don’t want to wait, so we’re renting a house for a year. If you’re in the Raleigh area, let’s hang.

The state of entrepreneurship in 2023 (see the plate)

I scaled my bootstrapped agency from 0 to 100+ employees in 24 months. 📈 Here’s 10 things we did to scale fast:

😃 Life update: I’ve decided to stop doing the “digital nomad” thing. For the last 5 month my wife and I got to see some beautiful places around the world. We had planned to do this for all of 2019. However, we decided to stop for a few reasons...

The Product During COVID lockdowns I had an idea for a product that I named The Touch Tool — it was a brass keychain hook, specifically for the new COVID world we lived in. It allowed you to pull open doors, press buttons at the gas station, etc without touching those things with your hands… ultimately to avoid germs. Here's it in action from Glamour Magazine.

👶🏼 My wife and I are having a baby boy this September!

Nice attempt at trolling, Zac. I wish you the best in becoming a real macho man.

Each week she creates a menu and texts it to my wife and I. Sometimes we request adjustments based on what we're feeling. She buys the groceries on our behalf and bill us later. After cooking, all dishes are in the fridge with labels. The kitchen is left spotless.
