Betting on who I believe is the greatest entrepreneur of our generation set me financially free at 31. My story started long before that. I joined Apple at 22. From the outside, people thought I had it made. It was a great company, awesome benefits, and I had a clear path ahead of me. Nothing was “wrong.” I was on the path everyone tells you that you’re supposed to want… but deep down, I knew it wasn’t the life I wanted forever. I was way more excited about investing. Building things on my own. Trying ideas that could completely fail. Learning about businesses. Studying where technology was going. Putting my own $ money behind what I believed in. And eventually, I became obsessed with Tesla and what Elon was building. The team’s willingness to take risks most people wouldn’t touch. Electric cars when people laughed at them. Reusable rockets when people said it couldn’t be done. Then AI, robots, autonomy and everything that came after. So I made a bet… there was significant risk. I didn’t know exactly what would happen. No one really ever truly does. I made the bet bc I believed the upside of being right was far greater than the downside of being wrong. And that decision changed my life. By 31, I had reached financial freedom. But strangely enough, the $ wasn’t even the biggest thing I gained. It was freedom over my time. It was the freedom to leave a career that looked perfect on paper. Freedom to be with my kids. Freedom to build things bc I wanted to build them. Freedom to wake up and work on me instead of somebody else’s dream. That’s why I always tell people… There’s nothing wrong with having a great job. There’s nothing wrong with climbing the corporate ladder. But make sure the ladder is leaning against a wall you actually want to climb. Apple gave me an incredible start. Investing changed my financial life. And Teslaconomics gave me something I was missing the entire time… which is something that actually felt like mine. And 𝕏 is the platform that enabled this. I’m forever grateful for where I am today and everyone that has supported me along the way.

Sunday admission: my calendar used to be my task list. Every unfinished thing got dragged to tomorrow's grid until the day looked like a losing argument before it started. The calendar was never built to hold that. Tasks need their own list. The calendar just holds time.

Nothing like enjoying my Starbucks on a nice fall NYC morning before Zeta Live $ZETA. I can’t wait to hear first hand what @dsteinberg10000 has in store for us this morning. We tried or I should say @wealthmatica tried to figure it out last night and we still have no idea. The keynote can’t come quick enough! I suggest everyone watch the keynote on @ZetaGlobal X account this morning. It feels like he may be laying down quad aces or maybe even a straight flush!

I think I’ve put my Starlink Mini through just about everything. It’s been with me at waterfalls, deep in nature, on 4,000+ mile Cybertruck road trips, in national parks with no cell service, on boats in the middle of the water, in hotels & airbnbs, across state lines, and even in other countries. It’s been tossed into backpacks, packed in luggage, and used in places where staying connected shouldn’t have been possible. And after all that, it still works like the day I got it. Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Starlink Mini… If this version has been this durable, I can only imagine how much better, smaller, and more efficient the next one will be, especially knowing SpaceX will be launching V3 Satellites into orbit for the first time with the next Starship launch.
