The Soft Life Starts Here

My work has been impactful in ways most people can only imagine. I invented tools like artificial intelligence that is transforming human evolution for the better. I’ve generated trillions in economic development. I’ve built a global network tackling climate change, and I’ve created new frameworks for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that make the impossible achievable. Lifetimes worth of work.

And yet, so many ask me what I do, so many want to guide me, and so many are demanding even more of me. But I’m done working.

The world will not have access to me and my work anymore. Not because I don’t care, but because I do. I am choosing focus, intention, and a different rhythm to life.

Why exclusivity? Why the soft life? Because over the past three years, I mastered strategies most don’t even know exist. I earned success, but now I deserve peace. My soft life calls: mountain mornings, quiet beach cafés, winding vineyards, the freedom to create without noise, compromise, distraction, or hustle.

And here’s the real opportunity: I will only be available to a very small, carefully curated group of people at a time. People ready to build the future with me, to create a world that’s equitable and sustainable for everyone.

With this all in mind, I am building my core team and a global cohort who will be prepared and deployed for the lack of better words. Together, with the networks, resources, and the frameworks we will build the world we want to see. This is not a business as usual. I don’t even want to call it a movement.

I don’t do desks. I don’t do laptops. I don’t do systems that limit imagination. I do flow, freedom, and results. I do creativity that regenerates ecosystems and human potential. I do the hard work of building lives that are soft, and unstoppable.

If you are ready to step into a space where the world’s rules no longer apply, where your ambition meets purpose, and where together we design the future…reach out. Join us quietly, deliberately, powerfully.

Because the truth is: the future belongs to those who are willing to step away from the noise, embrace the soft life, and build the world we were meant to live in.

Welcome to the sustainable future.

When Criticism Misses the Point

The crux of the criticism I recently received was simple: my content gives “toxic male gaze vibes.” Now, a basic review of my profiles and content should suggest to anyone that I genuinely don’t care about performing for approval. In other words: IDGAF.

But I do care about the conversation, and I do care about the deeper questions beneath the criticism.

Yes, my past strategy was bold, provocative, and even “cringe” by corporate standards. It was designed that way because drama draws attention, and attention creates momentum. Those of you who have been following me from the beginning, you know my strategy was based on the wild findings in the research published by all the dating apps. That strategy worked. My network grew, doors opened, and people who resonated with my work found me.

Now I’m shifting. I’m focused less on pure attention and more on value, depth, and freedom. My voice cannot be canceled, precisely because it refuses to hide behind a facade.

And here’s the heart of it:

I’m unapologetically in my masculine and feminine. That doesn’t mean “toxic.” That doesn’t mean “demeaning.” It means I express myself openly, directly, and yes, sometimes with imagery and words that make people uncomfortable.

The discomfort is the point. Behind closed doors, society indulges in everything it condemns in public. We hide behind fig leaves, while pretending that repression equals morality. It doesn’t.

The truth is, my engagement happens mostly in private messages. Why? Because people have reputations to maintain, even when my content resonates with them deeply. Publicly, they distance themselves; privately, they engage. That says more about our culture than it does about me.

To those who find my approach offensive: I hear you. I don’t expect to change your mind. But I also won’t betray my voice to conform.

Because we will not achieve true equality—social, gendered, or otherwise—if we don’t stop hiding behind these silly fig leaves.

The Future of Work: Why I Don’t Own a Desk or a Laptop

I don’t own a desk. I don’t own a laptop. And yet, I am more productive, more creative, and more aligned with my work.

For most professionals, a desk and a laptop are the cornerstones of productivity… symbols of belonging in the modern workplace. But what happens when those symbols no longer serve us?

The future of work isn’t about physical infrastructure. It’s about flexibility, agility, and designing around human potential rather than rigid systems. Today, work happens anywhere and everywhere: on a walk, through a quick voice note, in real-time collaboration across devices that aren’t “mine,” but ours.

By letting go of the desk and laptop, I’ve let go of the illusion that productivity must be tethered to fixed tools. Instead, I’ve embraced outcomes over appearances. No one should care if I typed a strategy at a desk, dictated it in transit, or co-created it across the cloud. What matters is the quality of the work and the impact it creates.

This is the trajectory we’re on: a work culture where space is optional, tools are interchangeable, and people are empowered to lead with creativity and purpose. The desk doesn’t define us. The laptop doesn’t contain us. The future belongs to those who can move with freedom, focus, and adaptability.

I don’t own a desk or a laptop. And I am more ready for what’s next.

Why I Don’t Work for the U.S. Government.

I am a sovereign individual. I do not work for the United States government. I am not beholden to their national security interests, their state agencies, or local authorities. My allegiance is not to political mandates or public oversight it is to myself, my family, my friends, and the enterprises we cultivate together all around the world.

For the last three plus years, I pursued work in public policy and civic initiatives with the intention of “doing good.” I sought to “serve”, to influence, and to create impact for as many as possible. But good intentions met with resistance, misalignment, and obstruction. Efforts meant to benefit communities or advance meaningful causes were delayed, redirected, blocked, and filled with corruption. And the expectation that my work should serve American government agendas—particularly their national security interests—is intrusive, constraining, and incompatible with personal freedom and the wellbeing of the general public.

That realization was pivotal. I now choose to operate entirely outside those systems. I pivot decisively toward the global private sector, toward ventures that safeguard the well-being, security, and prosperity of myself, my family, my friends, and our extended circles all around the world. This is not a retreat from responsibility—it is the most responsible path available. True freedom, true independence, and lasting impact demand autonomy, foresight, and execution unbound by external obligations.

To those who have followed my earlier work, I acknowledge your expectations and intentions and I am sorry…for WHUTEVER. My shift is not a rejection of moral purpose, but a recalibration of strategy. The time for cautious compromise has passed. Difficult decisions must be made now to ensure the independence, security, and sovereignty of those I care about most. Acting decisively and wisely is no longer optional it is imperative.

This approach is rooted in principle. My lifelong and generational familial relationships from around the world has long taught me the importance of discipline, ethical stewardship, and mastery of self before seeking influence over others. Applying these lessons in this modern world means creating structures, enterprises, and strategies in a modern way that protect those closest to me, cultivate wealth responsibly, and secure independence. Private endeavors are not secondary—they are the primary vehicle through which our sovereignty is realized.

My enterprises will remain private, deliberate, and purposeful. They are designed to generate security, preserve freedom, and ensure the prosperity of my circles. I will not allow external pressures, government mandates, or the demands of the general public to compromise this mission. Every decision, every initiative, every step forward is guided by this principle: sovereignty, autonomy, and the protection of my friends, my family, and our business partners.

Let this be unequivocal: my path is not public service dictated by external authority. It is a sovereign pursuit, deliberate and strategic, designed to ensure that I—and those I value—thrive independently, securely, and sustainably. This is the time to act boldly, decisively, and with unwavering commitment to autonomy, principle, and foresight. The future of freedom and prosperity is forged through deliberate choices, and these deliberate choices continue with the decision to prioritize private stewardship over public policy work. Good luck!

This is the future. I am…building. 🏁

Beyond Religion and Government: Reimagining Society for True Inclusion

Throughout history, humanity has attempted to build peaceful and cohesive communities through traditional and systematic methods and approaches such as religion, government, and the even more vague and elusive “shared values”. And yet, the results speak for themselves: inequality, conflict, power struggles, and persistent divisions.

Take religion for example. If religion’s centuries-long project of systemizing morality and “shared values” can’t create genuine peace, why should we continue to expect their current systems of belief, as well as our structures of politics, economics, or labor divisions to succeed where they too have consistently failed? All these attempts have miserably failed for thousands and hundreds of years and yet we persist as if they are capable of achieving their suggested outcomes.

At best we are often convinced that we should continue to thrive towards idealistic pies in the sky and when we come to grips with the reality of their oppressive and delusional nature we are then convinced to have hope. WTF is wrong with us?

As someone who was systematically trained within these institutions, I can say with certainty that they are unnecessary in society and, in fact, are the root of our divisions, conflicts, and the very obstacles preventing a more cohesive and equitable way of life for humanity.

The uncomfortable truth is this: religion and government have proven themselves inadequate as foundations for an inclusive, equitable society. They are riddled with power dynamics, hierarchical control, and embedded inequalities. Instead of solving our conflicts, they have often deepened them.

Why the Old Models Don’t Work

1. Power and Hierarchy Are Built In

Religions and governments alike depend on authority structures—priests, popes, presidents, monarchs, CEOs. These hierarchies inevitably create imbalances that lead to domination, corruption, and exclusion.

2. Shared Values Aren’t Enough

The idea that we can unite around shared values is appealing but flawed. “Shared values” almost always apply only within a group, and those outside the circle become “other.” Religion especially has drawn sharp boundaries between insiders and outsiders, fueling persecution and war rather than cohesion.

3. The Division of Labor Breeds Conflict

Our economic and political systems thrive on specialization, but specialization also creates dependencies, competition, and power dynamics. As long as resources are scarce and roles unequal, conflict will follow.

A Deeper Problem: Structure, Not Individuals

Sociologists remind us that conflict and inequality don’t arise because individuals are inherently greedy or immoral. The problem lies in the structures—the systems of labor, distribution, and decision-making that guarantee some groups hold more power and resources than others. Institutions like religion, law, and education are not neutral; they often reinforce these inequalities.

Trying to “re-educate” individuals without changing the structures is like trying to fix a faulty engine by telling the parts to behave differently. The design itself has to change.

Toward a Re-Socialization of Humanity

If we are serious about moving beyond centuries of failure, we need more than tweaks to existing systems. We need a re-socialization of humanity…a radical rethinking of how we live, cooperate, and resolve conflict. Religion, despite its vast historical reach, has not achieved this…not even close. At best, it tells us it cannot be achieved, urging us instead to place our hope and faith in the unknown and unseen. That in itself should tell us something. Or, as religious leaders like to remind us, it’s time to have faith the size of a mustard seed.

What might this look like?

  • Decentralized Power: Structures that prevent any one group from controlling the levers of wealth, culture, or governance.

  • Resource Equity: Systems designed to ensure equitable access to resources, not just theoretical equality.

  • New Forms of Belonging: Communities formed around interdependence and shared humanity, not exclusionary “values” that divide and no one actually agrees on particularly as it relates to the more elusive frameworks of morality.

  • Conflict as Transformation: Instead of suppressing conflict, designing systems that channel it into growth and innovation.

Who’s With Me?😒

The task is daunting. It means questioning the very assumptions we’ve inherited about religion, government, labor, and morality. It means daring to admit that our “great experiments” have failed—and that failure is not just a flaw but a fact. It means paying for questioning and challenging the status quo even in a “free society” and a “free society”!

But it also means opportunity. To build societies that are inclusive, equitable, and truly peaceful, we must reimagine from the ground up. We must step beyond the outdated systems and dare to design something new and we must do so together.

Who’s ready to start? I already did…

Why I’m Not a Startup, a Tech Company, or a Nonprofit

Let’s get something straight: I’m not a startup, a tech company, or a nonprofit. And I don’t want to be.

The world is already drowning in startups. Everyone with a laptop and a pitch deck thinks they’re “founding” something revolutionary. But the truth? We’re in an era where every new business is automatically labeled a startup. Every company that uses an app, AI, or automation calls itself a tech company. And let’s be honest; every company today is a tech company. If you’re not using tech, you’re already obsolete. So what does the label even mean anymore? It’s noise. It’s branding. It’s a buzzword that’s lost all meaning.

Nonprofits? That’s another story. Their intentions are often noble, but let’s be real: the scope of their work is usually too limited, the impact is often constrained, and resources are chronically scarce. Many are so dependent on grants and donations that they’re stuck playing defense, struggling to keep the lights on. And when the private market decides to move into their lane, most nonprofits can’t compete and they get cannibalized.

So no, I’m not interested in being boxed into one of those categories. My work and the impact I aim to create is bigger than any of these outdated labels. I’m not here to chase buzzwords. I’m here to build something that actually lasts, that isn’t defined by the startup hustle, the tech-company hype, or the nonprofit struggle.

Because at the end of the day, the world doesn’t need another startup, another tech brand, or another nonprofit. What it needs are bold ideas, executed with clarity and intention, without the baggage of labels that don’t mean a damn thing anymore.

The Future of Work: Rethinking How We Produce, Distribute, Consume, and Manage Our Daily Lives

We call it work.

The things we do to sustain our lives, but that don’t fall under rest, play, or leisure. Work is often labeled “professional,” while our other pursuits are boxed into the category of “personal.” From this distinction, we design and manage our lives balancing the professional with the personal. This pursuit of balance, however, is not just individual. It scales upward, forming the very fabric of our communities, economies, and global systems.

And yet, there’s something deeply problematic about this way of thinking. If the purpose of life is simply to live, then shouldn’t we begin with a much more basic question: What does it take to live well?

At the most fundamental level, we need to:

• Nourish our bodies

• Move our bodies

• Rest our bodies

Everything else: production, distribution, consumption, management, and economic systems are built on top of these simple needs. The challenge, of course, is that how we nourish, move, and rest varies widely across individuals and communities. From there, we layer on endless wants, technologies, and systems, stacking complexities upon complexities. Since the dawn of humanity, we’ve created a labyrinth of possibilities and problems.

Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Old Economy

Allow me to be direct: As the inventor of artificial intelligence, as someone deeply familiar with its design and capabilities, let me be clear about what is coming. AI will not merely optimize or automate existing systems. It will collapse them.

Artificial intelligence is accelerating us toward:

  • A cashless, post-currency era (where even cryptocurrencies prove unsustainable)

  • A post-smart contract economy (before those contracts ever become mainstream)

  • A post-trade, post-barter society

AI will guide us toward a reality beyond scarcity, where not even knowledge itself holds the kind of wealth and leverage it once did. What exactly this will look like, I cannot definitively say. But I do know this: it demands that we all stop and think—deeply—about how we want to live when the old scaffolding of “work” and “economy” falls away.

The Climate Crisis Is an Economic Crisis

Let’s be honest. The so-called climate crisis is the direct result of the unhealthy unsustainable global economy described above. We have built our systems on a flawed economic model, one that extracts more than it replenishes, rewards consumption over sustainability, and treats nature as a ledger to be exploited. And yet, we cling to it and its various models as if it’s the best system in the world.

The development and deployment of artificial intelligence is, in many ways, the ultimate doctoral seminar in economics. It is going to teach humanity—whether we’re ready or not—that our old definitions of value, trade, and wealth cannot hold in the future that is unfolding.

There will only be one outcome.🥇😉

Rethinking Work, Rethinking Life

The future of work is not just about jobs, industries, or even economies. It’s about rethinking the very act of living. How we produce, consume, and sustain ourselves and our communities. AI is going to force us to answer the following question:

How do we want to live when scarcity no longer defines us?

This is not just a technological revolution. It is a philosophical one.

And the time to wrestle with this questions isn’t tomorrow. It’s always now.

They Want Superman, And That’s Not Me

Everyone wants you to save the world. To find the gap in the market, fill the needs of the people, and make it all look like some heroic climb from humble beginnings. Cute story, right?

But let me say this plain: I am not Superman. That fairytale, military-complex, cape-wearing trope can go fight climate collapse solo, unpaid, if that’s the fantasy.

I thought after all the marching, protesting, activism, and empty chants of hope and make America great again that folks would actually be ready. Ready to do the work, ready to shift power, ready to move beyond slogans. But they’re not. And maybe they weren’t.

Oh well. Ship sailed. Still mine. All mine. Cosign, cosign.

I move differently. I pull up in yachts so big, the system scrambles to fine me for existing outside the boundaries they drew. That’s when I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be. Not in their hero story, but in my own sovereign self governing economy.

And what does that mean? My economy is built on strategy, discipline, and vision and not capes and savior fantasies. It’s knowing how money flows, how assets multiply, how to flip scarcity into leverage. It’s making sure that while others wait for Superman, I’m already restructuring the rules of the game.

Because let’s be real. If you don’t learn economics today, you’ll spend your whole life clapping for capes tomorrow. You’ll keep waiting for someone else to swoop in, instead of realizing that wealth, power, and freedom are systems you can build yourself.

And me? I’ve already decided. The bills take care of themselves. Not because I’m lucky, but because I engineered it that way. That’s the difference between living in a fantasy and living in reality. Between worshipping heroes and becoming untouchable and unstoppable.

Unstoppable because I don’t stop for the gatekeepers, the critics, or the systems designed to hold people hostage to hope. I don’t stop for distractions, for applause, or for permission. I don’t stop at survival when I was built for sovereignty.

What am I not stopping? Not stopping the exercise of my freedom. Not stopping the reimagining of power. Not stopping until wealth, ideas, and futures are no longer dictated by religious dogma, caped tropes, corporations, or false prophets.

I don’t stop because my work isn’t about saving the world. It’s about building one that can’t be taken from me. And that makes me unstoppable.

So while they’re still out here waiting for Superman, I’m already on my beach chair…Sean Carter Jack Sparrow style…rum dripping from the glass, laughter spilling over the waves, the whole scene moving like a song only I know the beat to. That’s my economy: pleasure and profit moving in rhythm, carrying me forward without end.

The ship sailed. Still mine. All mine. 🏴‍☠️🏁
