My 3 non-negotiable daily rules: 1. Don't sleep until every item on my daily to-do list is done. 2. Zero useless meetings. If there's no direct ROI, it gets pushed weeks out. 3. Gym 4-5x per week or productivity tanks.

I ignore most advice from billionaire founders. "Hire seasoned executives. Build slow." "Build a complete moat before Series A." - Multiple advisors who built companies in the 2000s. It was great advice back then. Just not as accurate now. You literally only need a unique

Seeing 2 commas in your bank account for the first time makes you feel like you can buy the bank. But it doesn't actually change anything. Don’t get me wrong, it still feels great. I've met agency owners making millions annually who come to me for advice. They're stuck.

I was in the Bahamas for a friend's birthday trip when this random group of people recognized me as the founder of FanBasis. Not only were they using the platform, they were praising it like crazy. Taking pictures with me like I was some celebrity. That's when it clicked in my
