I’ve built careers, hit major goals, and stacked hard as a mofo.
But none of that helped me when pressure hit my marriage or when I felt a real lack of purpose and drive.
My instinct used to be to push harder, think more, strategize my way out.
But the pressure didn’t respond to my logic.
Not in this phase of life. Instead, It exposed the parts of me that collapsed when things get real.
What changed things for me wasn’t more discipline or more grinding.
It was learning how to stay in the moment I wanted to escape.
That one shift gave me more clarity than any new achievement ever did.
Bitcoin taught me about financial sovereignty.
But Brandon and Proof of Heart are showing me the power of personal sovereignty.

Powerful reflection. 🙏 It’s amazing how personal sovereignty reshapes everything, way beyond achievements or discipline. Grateful for people and projects that remind us to stay present.
In escape mode, life went by so fast for me. "Just another month until I move to my next duty station, I'll just survive until then". In safe mode, I believed I was in tune with the universe when I really wasn't. The truth was in my face the whole time as a meteorologist. Weather is inherently a chaotic system. Chaos is unavoidable, and if your not living with some chaos your not really sovereign.
