You’ll never want anything you already have. Using the power of your mind, how would you feel and behave if you already had that thing you currently want? Embody that new state of being today. And notice how the desire for the thing fades away.

Waking up everyday with a clear purpose is one of the best feelings of all time. On the other hand, being unclear leads to distracting yourself with pleasure and other things that work against your best interest. Connect to your purpose.

Stacking sats is nice but it’s a passive vehicle to build wealth. It’s more important to have an active vehicle. Invest in your personal development journey: Retreats, experiences, travel, a gym, courses, 1:1 mentorships. The quality of your life will ultimately come down not to how many sats you stack, but to the quality of your health, relationships, and the impact you have on others.

Care less what others think. Care more about following your own intuition relentlessly. It's much easier to be rewarded when you are courageous, bold, and decisive versus shy, timid, and afraid.

I love those YouTube videos where the 80 year olds talk about their life and they all say they wish they took more risk and stopped being afraid. Give yourself that experience you’ve always wanted to take. Look back later and smile. Growth happens when you go just beyond your edge.

The @Bitcoin Jungle is one of the most special places in the world I’ve ever been to. From being a poker pro living in California feeling stuck in a mental prison lacking true purpose and real community, but always having a passion for bitcoin and knew there was something more meaningful in the world out there somewhere, coming here for the first time three years ago changed my life forever. Now three years later, my life is much different than spending time in a casino everyday, and I’m so excited to offer my first group retreat in January 2027. I’m going to pour everything I have into this week being an incredible experience for everyone who comes. The intention is for you to connect deeper to community, nature, health, and purpose. We will also experience bitcoin in person here at the local markets and have discussions around nostr & freedom tech. Walk away feeling completely rejuvenated, restored, with new friends, and ready to make 2027 your best year yet. If you want to be apart of this experience, check out the website and book a call with me to apply. Spots are very limited. Pura Vida. junglealchemyretreats.com

I have a challenge for you: Stop complaining & stop gossiping. Don’t let anything negative come out of your mouth regarding anything external. See what happens.

Heard this guy on a podcast say you have two options these days: 1) Study AI really hard and figure it all out 2) Go buy a ranch somewhere, raise a family, and be integrated with the local community I’m definitely a #2 kind of guy.

I hung out with somebody for the first time 1-on-1 recently. We agreed twice to meet at 3pm. There are some events where showing up late makes sense, but this wasn’t one of them. He rolls up at 3:35pm. I ask what happened to our agreement. He said people have been flaking and showing up late on him recently so he felt called to do it too. It sort of blew my mind that a man would supposedly change his values based on the way other people are acting. I got bad vibes immediately. My opinion: Instead of looking at how other people act, be the example of the change you wish to see. Don’t perpetuate the same behavior cycle you don’t like. Be impeccable with your word. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

The key is to stay deeply connected to your life’s purpose while simultaneously becoming immune to the opinions of others who haven’t achieved what you want.

It’s pretty wild that I’m sitting here in Costa Rica looking at an iguana while typing this message and people in at least 5 continents around the world will read this. And it’s impossible for the message to be taken down. Sometimes it’s nice to zoom out and marvel at the amazing technological advancements we’ve made as a species. Pura Vida.

Don’t put extra pressure on yourself to perform well. Instead relax, breathe, disconnect, and take it easy. Allow your mind to settle. Watch your performance increase.

“May we trust in the process of life to let go and let grow.”

Bear markets are for building. Build your body, mind, discipline, and concentration. Investing in yourself will always pay off. Become the person you know you are capable of becoming.

If you truly want to be free, the only person you should ever try to impress is yourself. Make yourself proud.

Success doesn’t happen in a straight line. Embrace the volatility. Learn from your failures. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Become resilient to anything and you’ll become unstoppable.

Community is an underrated part of being successful today. It’s tough to have a bad life when you have thriving relationships and are surrounded by incredible people.

If you’re feeling unfulfilled, empty, or hollow, you can always change the trajectory of your life. Much love.

Undoubtedly the thing that has changed my life the most is going to retreats centered around nature, music, getting healthy, reducing stress, laughing, and being around great people with amazing vibes. In a world that is increasingly getting digital and based around AI slop, having a network of like-minded people that you’re close with who you can build real communities and projects with is what will be valuable. Real & authentic is the way.

Feeling grateful for everything.
