I post my conscious thoughts w/ the world, live to the fullest, keep things simple, truthful & filter the noise. Long-term investor in Tesla, SpaceX, xAI/X.
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.
