So I had this crazy idea... 🤩 I built an interactive grid where every $1k square represents my progress towards my $1m goal. And I thought - what if cool companies could have their spot on there while I build and share everything in public? 🤔 It's like becoming...

Today, I graduated from Stanford with my masters in law, with a focus in law, science, and technology. I expended considerable time exploring how to add value to emerging companies by advising them throughout their lifecycles, specifically on raising venture capital and licensing intellectual properties and technologies. I hope to spend the foreseeable future deepening my expertise in these areas. For the Stanford journey, I must start with gratitude. First, I am grateful for my parents, siblings and family who supported me through everything. I am grateful for my former employers who invested heavily in my growth, played a substantial part in Stanford happening, and in whom I found another family. I am especially grateful for my friends (including those I made at Stanford) who have overwhelmed me with love and support that I do not think I deserve. I am grateful for my colleagues, with whom I have shared this journey, and who have blessed me with their knowledge and experiences. I am grateful for all my mentors and professional connections whose benevolence towards me have never run dry. I am grateful for my professors and the Stanford academic faculty who have shared their knowledge with me and have challenged me intellectually, and finally, I am grateful to God, for the invisible hand in how my life has played out over the past year. At the ceremony, my friend Ana Julia – who spoke on behalf of the class – said we already made it before we arrived for this program. That is true, because the program is a gathering of highly exceptional people from different parts of the world, and with different experiences. Having been privileged to spend the last one year with these people, I will go on from here knowing that I mean something. I am something. And I will devote my time to leading with my humanity and advocating for positive change in the world. I charge you to do the same.

Back when I had nothing… I was a nobody to most people. TBH, my parents didn't even see me getting to where I am today. It's just the truth, the chips were stacked for my sister. Not me. But it's just not the reality today. However, there was ONE person in my life that didn’t see me that way. My significant other saw something in me before a lot of things. Before all my wins. Before the $. Before any proof. And honestly… that means a lot to me, if not the most of all. I’ve always been wired a little different. I’m a mix of finance, engineering, and tech, with a sprinkle of obsession. I learned and studied from the best. Warren Buffett for how to invest. Elon Musk for work ethic and where the future is going. And once I saw it… I went all in. Bc when you truly understand what you own… you don’t need 20 bets. What you really need is conviction and just a few bets. That’s how I approached everything in my life. All the way from Apple… to Tesla… to 𝕏… to xAI… and now SpaceX. I believe I have an eye for spotting the best entrepreneurs and companies early, before it becomes obvious to everyone. And when I see it, I back it 100%. That’s just who I am. I don’t need a big circle. I’ve already got my day ones. I don’t need approval. I grew up my whole life with doubt and hate, so what’s one more? At this point, the levels are just too different. And yeah… it's true, it actually gets harder to make new friends when you’re moving like this. So I stay loyal to the ones who were there when I had nothing. I made it with Apple - youngest in, youngest out. Then I made it with Tesla… while people were laughing, doubting, calling me crazy, telling me I was going to go bankrupt with Elon. Fast forward to today, now I'm heading into something even bigger. If the story plays out the way it’s shaping up… SpaceX could have the largest IPO in history this year. The company is talking about raising over $75B… at a $1.75-$2 trillion valuation. For context… the biggest IPO ever - Saudi Aramco - raised about $29B. This would be more than double that. Let that sink in deep. To me this is more than just an investment. This is owning a piece of the future of space, energy, AI... extending the light of consciousness forward in case something happens to Earth. People can call me crazy. People can call me cocky. Arrogant. But the people that actually know me know the truth - I’m just real AF. I say what I believe, and I stand on it. And I genuinely don’t care what people think. I have two middle fingers always held high for those kind of people. That’s probably why I’ve been able to win the way I have. My significant other tells me to slow down sometimes. And I get it. But for me… What’s the point of life if you play it safe? If you see an opportunity that can change everything… and you just sit back? That’s not me. I’d rather go all in on something I believe in… live with intensity… take the hits… and actually feel alive and live life with fulfillment. Laugh if you want, doubt if you want. Some play it safe, a few go all in. You can call it risky. You can call it stupid. You can call it crazy. I call it living. Bc at the end of the day, I'd rather go all in on something I believe in and fail... than spend my life wondering "what if."

Perrie admits she’s “frustrated” by how Jesy Nelson has portrayed the breakdown of her relationship with Little Mix, adding that she feels the group consistently tried supporting Jesy at the cost of their own mental health, and that accountability should be taken on all sides: “Sometimes you just won’t win with people. And what annoys me the most… I have to be careful how I say this because I don’t want to seem like a bitch… But what upsets me the most when situations like this happen is when the other person doesn’t take any accountability. That boils my blood. I’m not blaming everything on you [Jesy]. I’m not saying, ‘She’s this fucking monster and everything was her fault’ and blah blah blah. But take some accountability for your actions and realise you were difficult. You did have difficult moments. Granted, there were reasons for those moments... but you can only pick somebody up so many fucking times before you start losing track of your own sanity. You want to be there for that person, but if they can’t accept the help and they can’t accept the love you’re trying to show, how do you win? You can’t. I hate that. I don’t like putting the blame on people. Don’t put the blame on me and make me out to be something that I’m not. Yes, I’m not perfect. I might not have been there enough, or I could have done better I suppose… but I thought what I was doing was enough. I thought I’d tried everything. So to then sit there in further interviews and discuss it publicly and be like, ‘I wasn’t supported’… You were, though. You were. So just take some accountability and I’ll feel better about it. I’d say [I’m] more frustrated than angry, because I don’t like being painted into a person that I’m not. Because I’m an open book, I have to be real. It exhausts me when I see people that I know inside and out not being genuine. It frustrates me.”

Today I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and this is from my heart. Thank you Dad for being a wonderful father. Thank you Mom for being truly the best mother! I love you Jessica. It was a blast growing up with you. I wish I could see you all more. Thank you to all my family; aunts and uncles on my father’s side and my mother’s side. Thank you to Adalis for the 17 best years of my life. Thank you Camila for making life exponentially more enjoyable. Thank you to all the pastors who opened their platforms to me at 19,20,21,22. Guys that probably think I forgot about them like Dr. Samuel Bombara, Doug Sayers, and David Sanville. Thank you for helping me get started. Thank you to every pastor who opened their church to me to preach in the last 21 years. I’m filled with gratitude for your kindness. Thank you to Dr. Rodney Howard Browne. My life took an upward turn when I met you. You have been a true, caring friend and mentor. Thank you to our Revival Today family. You’ve never wavered in working to reach the lost. Thank you to our Revival Today Church family in Pittsburgh and now Fort Worth. You hold a dear place in my heart! Thank you to everyone who threatened to kill me for not actually killing me. We all have bad days. But mostly, I want to thank whoever is reading this. You have likely baked me something, encouraged me, or shown me kindness in some way. I hope you know how much I appreciate you. You send me ice cream. You send things you’ve made that express your love, and many times there’s no name attached, so I have no way to thank you. So thank you. You warm my heart. Thanks for caring about me and what I do. Thanks for treating me like your own brother or son. At the risk of sounding creepy, I wish I could hug you today. In 43 years I’ve had very few negative encounters with anyone. People have been so nice to me for no reason. Thank you. But most of all, I don’t know if you read Instagram or not, but thank you Jesus. You saved me. You called me. And then you took me all over the world. I have had so much fun telling people about you and your Word. You’ve kept me extremely healthy and so full of joy. Thank you for 43 years of life. I owe you everything.
