A little about me:
I was homeschooled, and my parents had no friends, so I didn’t really interact with people until I was 18.
At 12, I got my first computer and became obsessed with design, HTML, and selling things online.
Growing up, I’d see GQ magazine at Kroger and dream of dressing like that one day.
I was told college wasn’t an option, but because I was making money online and good with computers, I convinced myself I’d be the next Zuckerberg.
After high school, I started building websites. I failed miserably. I was also naive. At 20, I accepted the truth about myself and started reading 100 books a year.
Not having friends most of my life taught me to value people. I realized I loved being around others and felt most fulfilled when I was.
Eventually, I found some success and built a team. But the highs and lows of no recurring revenue took their toll. I prayed for a way out, and in 2019, God gave me one.
I started a company called Rabbit, a network of phone chargers you could rent and return anywhere. I raised $1M in 10 days over the phone, without a pitch deck.
We launched in October 2019. For the first time, I experienced instant success. But in March 2020, our next round of funding fell through, and COVID killed the business. I went back to the agency.
I launched software that created affiliate links for gym members. That helped us build enough revenue to qualify for a loan and go all-in on something I’d been trying to make work since 2017: Website Management.
The premise was simple: Everyone has a website, but not everyone has 24/7 access to someone who can handle everything from new designs and features to hosting, speed optimization, and security.
In 2021, I turned on Google Ads for website management. On the first day, we got a lead that closed the next day for 2 subscriptions. From that moment, I’ve spent every day growing the business.
Building an agency that manages hundreds of clients while delivering the support of a $5K/month service, all while charging only a few hundred dollars, has been a grind. But I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built.

Mostly true. Shazam was founded in 1999 (before the 2000s) by Chris Barton (spelled Barton, not Burton), Avery Wang, Philip Inghelbrecht, and Dhiraj Mukherjee. The music ID service launched in 2002 via phone calls/SMS, years before smartphones or the App Store. The core tech was pioneering for its era.

Okay, so I thought FSD freaked out and drove into the wrong lane. Turns out the car next to me came into my lane and it reacted.

Also it will arrive slowly since Delta is the only major US airline who said it’s not interested in supersonic.

No one has heard from me
That’s because I’m building something that highly productive people will describe as life changing
