One of the most underrated things you can do is buy unwanted land with your friends and build a compound. We bought this for $7,500 an acre 66+ acres… two families building from scratch.

These guys told me you could buy 250 acres for $400 each... and now they do $70k a month in revenue... I want to replicate this idea of building worlds on unwanted land. What do you think?

I was just at a girls trip, now I’m concerned for women + ChatGPT… 12 women, 10 of them had named their “ai agent,” given them a personality, accent, joked about what their AI looks like, and said it’s like a friend now. We are scarily close to this…

A truth for your generation that will not be true for your kids. 10,000+ boomers retiring daily. They own 40% of small businesses. 99.9% of their millennial/gen z kids want to be Youtube stars not own a plumbing company (even if it's doing millions in profit). Therein lies our opportunity.

The most underrated skill in the world right now is prompting…if you can speak the language of AI, AI will give you what you want. That’s why I had my internal AI transformation hire create a cracked prompting tool for our company to use internally. It essentially helps you create the perfect prompt. I love it - and that’s why I want to open source it.

One of the most underrated things you can do is buy your parents what they used to get you. We bought my dad a hunting truck. He’s not fancy, and it gave me more joy than anything I’ve bought myself.

You don’t start and run companies just for an exit. We do it because we are crazy people willing things into very existence. We are supposed to be the next generation of explorers, risktakers, adrenaline junkies. Addicts to the feeling of being so damn unemployable your only option is owner. The inability to sleep because of visions so big they pull you from bed in the dead of the night. Dreams so futuristic people laugh when you tell them. Those are the builders I admire. It’s f*cking hard. But we do the work.

I keep remembering, luck is made... Moving fast. Choosing sides. Thinking positively. Solving big problems. Being grateful for the grind. Surrounding yourself with winners. Luck is attracted to this.

Meet Russell Shepard. Former NFL wide receiver who's now running a porta-potty business. Year 2 he made $1M? (more than ever in the NFL) It started when he played for the Giants. He noticed the city filled with trash at night. By morning? All gone. He knew someone was making bank on all that waste. So with his NFL earnings, Russell bought: - A vacuum truck with a 2,000-gallon tank - 125 portable toilets - 50 hand wash stations - 20 holding tanks - Some nearby land His first few months of recurring revenue: - Month 1-2: $6k - Month 2-3: $12k - Month 3-4: $18k By year 2 they'd hit $1M in revenue. Now multi-millions. How it grew so fast? reviews and referrals. His company Shep Boys manages waste from construction sites to disaster zones. Simple model, recurring revenue, commercial contracts. I will say - I've never been so close to throwing up when visiting a small business before. But Russell doesn't care what it smells like. He cares what it pays.

Being rich is awesome. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you. Life is just easier up until you make about $100k, then it gradually evens out. Go unapologetically chase your first $100K.

From Hollywood assistant making $30k/year working 18-hour days to running a $9.6M/year pressure washing business. It all started when friend called him up to help with his carpet cleaning business while he was still in his day job. As you can probably guess, he said yes and worked with him for a few years. But at some point, he was ready to become an owner himself. His criteria was simple: -Recession-resistant -Huge addressable market -Fragmented industry (lots of small players, no big boys) -High margins Pressure washing checked all 4 boxes. But Aaron didn't start from zero. He found a 34-year-old business already doing $2.2M/year and acquired it. When I last saw him, he was at: 187 locations nationwide. 1000s of customers. $800k in monthly revenue. All because a Hollywood assistant picked up the phone when his buddy needed help with a carpet cleaning business.

Young people today don't hate rich people they are mad that... - they were talked into too much student debt - they can't buy homes - their wages are up 2x while houses up 9-10x - inflation is eating them up and they own no assets No wonder they don't like capitalism. They haven't been able to truly participate in it yet.

Maybe we should put our kids in BJJ. This study looked at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's effect on young people. The results are incredible. Kids did jiu jitsu 1-3x per week, 45 minutes on average, and they increased their self control by double digits compared to their peers. They showed more inhibitory control - aka, less easily distracted, more focus. Other studies say the same thing: One looked at MMA vs BJJ, and the kids who did BJJ had: • Increased self-control • Increased pro-social behavior • Decreased levels of aggression Another study looked specifically at boys with autism. It found that the social + motor control aspects of martial arts have a huge effect: The group who did martial arts had a 12.79 LOWER score on problem behaviors than the control group. In a world that’s constantly trying to distract us, BJJ makes you disciplined. In a world where kids are increasingly isolated, BJJ puts them together & challenges them physically and mentally. What do you think? Would you put your kids in martial arts?

Meet Bob. From software engineer to making $15M a year selling shipping containers. He turns containers into homes, bars, bathrooms, Airbnb rentals (whatever people want out of them). They're built 3x faster and cheaper than traditional construction. His first year? $1.5M. What's genius about his biz is that he runs the construction company like an e-commerce store - set products, clear pricing, easy checkout. When someone orders a custom build, he turns it into a new product on the menu. That way every unique job becomes a scalable offering. A lot of his customers buy them as Airbnb investments. A ~$100k container home rents for $150-$200/night - meaning his buyers are cash flowing in months. He built an ROI calculator right on his site so they can see exactly what they'd make before spending a dollar. He also shares everything publicly - full DIY information, build specs, all of it. Sounds counterintuitive for a construction company but it builds trust and cuts his QA time because customers actually understand what they're buying. Bob’s story showed me you can get rich doing almost anything. One of my favorite interviews of my “Main Street Millionaire” series.
