Every time I see this video I remember when my inexperienced self got up to 120+ mph on the Buckman Bridge in Florida. I kept thinking “If I hit a pebble I’m gone”. The man in video life flighted to hospital, broken ribs, punctured lung, broken clavicle. I bought...

I am living in the most shockingly miraculous season of my life. Every prayer I lift is answered the next day. I have a very sick friend I have prayed for without ceasing. In one particularly bleak moment, when I knew she needed comfort more than anything, I dropped to my knees. I asked God to let her see her father, who had already gone home, so she could feel him near. The next day she told me that both she and her nurse saw him sitting in his chair in the room. I never told her I had prayed for that. When I finally did, she was stunned. After two months in the hospital, broken into pieces, I sat buried under thousands of dollars in bills. My insurance had been cancelled over a mistake I knew nothing about. I have since fixed it. At the time, the entire weight fell on me. Those bills drained me dry. This year I have struggled more than I have in twenty years. Every time I needed just a little extra, I prayed. And every single time, something fell out of the sky in the wildest ways. This week I needed $1,000 to finally be free of every hospital bill and completely caught up. I prayed. Then the money began to arrive: payments through X (fickle at best), money from my articles, an unexpected check from Grandpa “just because,” documentary funds, and new work for radio commercials. Together it was more than I needed. For years I lived in a season of waiting. Every sign I asked for came back the same: “Trust My timing. You are in a season of patience.” The Lord held me together through every trial. I know that. But I sat in stagnation on every front. Now? Every sign points to this: “When the time is right, I the Lord will make it happen.” And it is happening. New opportunities. New love. Every debt settled. New friends I already care for deeply. Happiness. If you walk away from this post with only one thing, let it be this: If God is making you wait, there is a reason. When He decides to move, it does not trickle. It crashes over you in a wave. Roads open that you never dreamed existed. Be patient. Stay in faith. It will happen for you too.

My First Car 2022— A Lesson I’ll Never Forget I have always wanted to share this story. When I found this car, it had been abandoned. I was young, ambitious, and excited about the idea of owning my first car. I didn’t see a broken-down vehicle ,I saw an opportunity. I started putting my savings into repairing it, believing that one day I would finally drive my own car. But reality was very different. The car only made it onto the road about five times. The longest I could drive was about 3 kilometres before I had to stop and let it cool down because it would overheat. I even took it for painting. Unfortunately, I was cheated. Someone apparently used house paint, and whenever it rained, the paint would begin coming off. 😔 Nine months of my savings disappeared into that car. Sometimes when I remember how much time and money I put into it, I honestly feel like crying. The painful part is knowing that those nine months of savings could probably have bought me a much better car maybe even a brand-new one. But today, I choose to look at it differently. That car taught me something no classroom could teach me. When you are young, ambition can make you move faster than wisdom. You see the dream, but you don’t always see the cost. I made mistakes. I trusted the wrong people. I spent money I probably shouldn’t have spent. I learned the hard way. But I was trying. I was a young person trying to build something for myself. And perhaps that’s what makes this story emotional for me. When I look back at that young man in 2022, I don’t see a fool. I see someone who had a dream. The car failed me many times, but the experience didn’t. It taught me to be wiser. To ask more questions. To inspect before investing. To understand that sometimes the cheapest opportunity can become the most expensive lesson. That car may have only travelled a few kilometres on the road ,But it took me much further in life. I woke up with anger one day and drove the car to some petrol station uptodate I have never tried to call anyone or ask anything to anyone I just moved on

Good question. A lot of side hustles are hard to break into, but one I “kinda” did when I bought my CAT equipment was driveway grading, ditching, etc. You really only need a CAT 304 or small skid steer (259). I bought my machines to clear my own lots but figured I’d see if I could get a few “side jobs” to offset the cost of the machines. Posted a few comments in some Smoky Mtn groups I’m in on Facebook that my guys and I can do “Driveway grading, smoothing out, ditch cleanouts, gravel spreading, lot prep, etc”. I COULD NOT KEEP UP with the amount of people wanting the work done. It had me and 2 of my employees constantly running around giving estimates, grading this, clearing that. To the point it was taking me away from my new build construction sites too much. I did probably $100,000 in work in a 3 month period. I finally had to just stop doing it because my main goal was building cabins and it was taking my focus away from that. But, a person can quickly learn how to operate a mini-excavator (304) or small skid steer and by throwing a few ads on FB marketplace you can probably gauge the interest. Again, there are many side hustles out there if you’re willing to work, this was just one that kind of fell in my lap because I bought some CAT equipment. I’d pull in $10,000+ for a 2 day job usually. One job we pulled in $28,000 to clear the land, spread gravel and put in a stormwater drain. Took about 8 days and just needed my 304 and 299 there.

This is what “rich” looks like I wake up everyday feeling like I hit the lotto. Not when I’m up on a trade or when I drive one of my cars, but in quiet moments like this. Just a few years ago, I was facing prison time. Broke. Delivering food on DoorDash to scrape together a few hundred bucks to fund my trading account. We shared a one-bedroom apartment with $500 to our name after bills. The journey from there to here wasn’t overnight. It wasn’t glamorous. It was a grind that broke me down before it built me up…but it made me the man I am today. Yes, I have the cars and watches now that people associate with success. But I can tell you with absolute certainty…they don’t compare to this. Building a life with someone who believed in you when nobody else did and winning the game of life Trading changed my financial situation, but gratitude changed my life. If you’re reading this and still in the grind, just keep pushing. I know it may seem like it will never work, but it will. You have to believe that. You have to be thankful for every little thing because without the bad there is no good. Without the bad you become weak. The most important thing is to remember what you’re working towards and make sure there is real meaning behind it. There’s nothing wrong with cars or a lavish lifestyle… But the only way you’ll have the hunger to get it and sustain it long term… Is by having a higher purpose that you constantly remind yourself of.

This has got to be one of the BEST stories in sports card history, and it happened to me this morning. Warning: this story involved a $35,800 transaction, a German wedding, and Lamine Yamal This morning, I woke up and saw a Lamine Yamal /10 Base Prizms Gold NFT for sale on the #PaniniBlockchain for $35,800. I felt that the price was fair and I purchased at 5am. Seconds later, I get a dm from the anonymous seller on Instagram. “Hey this is Brian”. A German guy, few followers. What I learned next is nothing short of f*cking legendary. I’ll let him tell the story from here, and I’ll accompany the epic tale with photo and video proof. Sit down, and buckle up. “Two days before my wedding, the four of us—my best man, my wife, my cousin, and I—went out and bought a few Panini packs together. Just for fun, we agreed that each of us would keep one pack sealed and save it for the wedding day. The plan was to open them together after the ceremony and see what we got. What made it even more special was that my best man had never opened a trading card pack in his life. It was also my wife's first real experience with the hobby. My cousin and I had opened cards before, but none of us expected anything crazy. Our friend from Prime Collectors was there as well. Since he creates card content, he had his camera rolling the entire time, so every reaction you see in the video is completely genuine. After the ceremony, we all sat down and started opening our packs. My best man went first—nothing special. Then my wife opened hers—a few nice cards, but nothing huge. My cousin was next, and again, nothing out of the ordinary. Then it was my turn. I started going through the cards one by one until I saw a flash of gold. The moment I saw it, I knew it could be something big. When I turned the card over, it was a Lamine Yamal Panini NFT numbered 8/10. For a few seconds, nobody said a word. Then everyone completely lost it. You can hear in the video the exact moment everyone realizes what had just been pulled. Even Prime Collectors, who has seen countless incredible pulls, couldn't believe he had just captured that moment on camera. but honestly, the value wasn't the most important part. What made it unforgettable was that it happened on my wedding day, from the one pack I had intentionally saved two days earlier. It's also important to mention that the wedding was already fully paid for, so this wasn't a story about "paying for the wedding" with the card. It was simply an unbelievable coincidence and one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that you could never plan. Looking back, I honestly don't think I'll ever experience another moment quite like it. On the same day that I married the love of my life, I also pulled one of the biggest cards I've ever held in my hands. That's what makes this story so special.” Panini America
