I just achieved a Pike Headstand to Handstand Pushup.

It may not be much to you, but it's a meaningful milestone for me.

What is a million dollars? At one point it was a dream. Now according the FED the average American household has a million dollar networth and it’s not that special as a life goal.

I'm on a lifelong fitness journey, my goal is to make gravity my bitch. I want Planche pushups, muscle-ups, handstands, visible abs, the whole thing.

How did I finally unlock this move? I hired a gymnastics coach and have been putting in real work on core, balance, and skills a few times a month for the last six months. Plus a weightlifting coach too, plus invested in training for my family.

I have the financial freedom to go all-in on health & fitness.

How did I get here? Being an ADHD serial entrepreneur with no ability to focus on just one thing (other than HODLing Bitcoin for as long as I possibly can.)

Health & Fitness goes hand in hand with Bitcoin.

We all have different goals and different journeys to get there.

What I'm after is sovereignty over my mind, body & money.

I started as a broke overweight college kid with a dream to make a movie.

Accidentally became an entrepreneur building Facebook games to fund it.

Had some success, a lot of brutal failures, and learned the hard way about money, trading, and leverage.

Found Bitcoin in 2011. It clicked with everything I was already doing and thinking. I made plenty of the classic mistakes … emotional trades, scams, chasing noise…but I never lost my conviction that Bitcoin was something unique and special that I needed to be part of.

Over time I shifted from trying to trade and time the market to just being a long-term holder and financial activist.

Stopped filling my head with macro and politics that weren't moving the needle.

In 2024 I flipped the script completely.

Took all that energy I used to spend on charts, news, and drama and put it into the gym, my marriage, my daughter, and building a Citadel Mind and Citadel Body.

I started training consistently, hired the right coaches, and set real goals for the first time in my life.

We added dance lessons, scheduled date nights, read books on growth.

Fell off the wagon here and there, but kept showing up.

It's hard work.

But the results are real: deeper love with my wife, a stronger bond with my daughter, and real confidence when I look in the mirror.

Am I at my goal? Fuck no. I want more.

I want more happiness.

I want Citadel wealth.

I’m aiming for $1 billion by 2050. Set Big goals.

I want to be doing meaningful work in the world at a much bigger scale.

Helping more people, creating more
value, giving back more.

Bitcoin's long-term growth lets me stay strapped in, live the life I want, create value, and keep stacking.

No need for trading or pivoting to AI investing etc.

Blissful dissatisfaction … fully in the process, unattached to the exact outcome.

Happy whether I hit the big vision or not.

I had the conversation with my wife. She was nervous about losing it all.

We took 4-5 months to think it through.

Now we both know we could be happy even if we lost it all.

We were broke college kids once, and we've fallen more in love after 20 years together.

If you can reach that place mentally, selling makes zero sense.

That's where I am now.

Primary strategy is borrow.

The only way you catch me selling any corn is if I’m forced to because of poor planning or if life punches me in the face.

I'll keep sharing the journey in hopes it inspires you to do the same.

Whatever your version looks like … build the mind, build the body, build the stack.

If you're out there doing the real work with Bitcoin and life, I want to follow you.

Let's motivate each other, lots of you guys and gals (and bots) motivate me everyday.
