In today's issue:

Ever been attacked for being successful?

Not just judged. Not just envied. I’m talking about an all-out emotional sniper shot to the heart—wrapped in a 1,000-word email essay.

All because… I hired a personal assistant.

Not a virtual one in the Philippines. I’m talking real-life, boots-on-the-ground help. Someone to handle the logistics of everyday chaos—Amazon returns, kids’ pickups, travel planning. You know, life stuff.

Now here’s where it gets messy.

This assistant was a super practical, penny-pinching woman from Poland. You could say she carried the trauma of the Great Depression in her DNA. Saving pennies like it was her religion. So when she got a peek into how I live—how I spend a few hundred bucks without blinking on coffee, or how I don't flinch at dropping cash to save time—it was like she saw the devil.

She ghosted for a week.
Then dropped a novel-length email on my wife, telling her to leave me.
I’m not kidding.

Apparently, being financially abundant made me toxic, evil, inconsiderate… even dangerous.

And I’ll be real with you—I took that personally. Because I never disrespected her. Never mistreated her. But to her, my abundance was an offense.

And that right there is the ugly side of money that people don’t talk about.

We all say we want to get rich.
We all say we want freedom.
But when someone around us gets it… the claws come out.

Like that student I had who bought a Cadillac to celebrate a promotion and never heard from his best friend again. Not jealousy, per se. More like... cognitive dissonance. “If you have more and I don’t… are you better than me?”

That kind of emotional friction with money is why most people stay broke.

Because deep down, they believe having money makes you a bad person.
That wealth is corrupt. That rich people are cold, greedy, or fake.

Which is absolute B.S.

I’ve met broke people who are petty, mean, and emotionally clueless.
I’ve also met multimillionaires who are generous, humble, and deeply empathetic.

Money doesn’t change you. It magnifies you.

If you’re a good person, more money means you get to help more people.
Take care of family. Solve bigger problems. Be a greater blessing.

That’s what happened in our family.

We’ve paid for dental work, bought apartments, covered bills—for siblings, parents, and in-laws. Things that only money could solve.

So, no money isn’t evil.
What’s evil is refusing to address the emotional baggage you have around money.

Because of that baggage?
It’s the exact thing standing between you and your breakthrough.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting to be rich… or judged someone who already is…

You might want to pick up a copy of The Trick to Money Is Having Some.
It’ll rewire your money mindset before it sabotages your future.

Because until you make peace with wealth, it’ll never want to make peace with you.

Forget the dry lectures and techno-babble.
This is not your average crypto content.

Uncensored Crypto is a high-stakes, high-production docuseries that rips the lid off what’s really going on behind the scenes of money, power, and the fight for digital sovereignty.

It’s gripping. It’s controversial. And for now, it’s 100% free to watch.

Have you ever felt like hitting the reset button on life?

Like scrapping everything, vanishing to Bali, and starting over with a new name and a coconut side hustle?

Yeah… don’t.

You don’t need a full reset. You just need one smart move.

That’s it. One solid decision.
Not five. Not fifty. Just one.

Because momentum doesn’t come from clarity—it comes from action.
And the second you take that next right step, something shifts. Your brain lights up. Your body loosens. That cloud of “stuck” starts to clear.

Now, here’s how you find that one move:

And if you really don’t? Ask.
Mentor. Book. AI. Hell, ask me—I’ll probably yell the answer at you in all caps.

See, we’re not in the Information Age anymore.
Thanks to AI, info is a commodity. Anyone can get it. What’s scarce now is wisdom—knowing what to do, when to do it, and why it matters for you.

You’ve got the knowledge. Now you need the guts.

So stop waiting for the stars to align.
Make the move. Send the email. Launch the funnel. Say “no” to the wrong thing. Say “yes” to the scary one.

Just do something.
Because action breeds momentum, and momentum makes you unstoppable.

If you’ve ever felt like money just slips through your fingers faster than you can make it, this book is your slap in the financial face—with love, of course.

The Richest Man in Babylon may have been written nearly a century ago, but its money lessons are so sharp, they’ll make your modern-day wallet weep. Told through ancient parables (because apparently, people 4,000 years ago were already better with money than most of us), it delivers timeless truths in a way that sticks.

Like:

It’s a short read. But don’t mistake short for soft—it will call out your financial laziness and inspire you to clean up your money habits faster than your accountant can say “tax write-off.”

My advice?
Read it once.
Then read it again with a highlighter.
Then make every person you care about read it too—unless you want to keep lending them money.

I’m not a billboard, yet I’m seen by all.
You pay to show me, but only when they call.
Click by click, I climb the bid.
Guess what I am—you’ll flip your lid.

What am I?
