Common Questions
Why don't you have a form?
I don't want one. I've also made my email unclickable, so you have to copy and paste. Consider it a slight hurdle, just to see if you're serious. What's a little copypasta? Surely, you can do it.
BTW, I will delete and block you if you waste my time.
Do you sponsor XYZ?
Entirely dependent if it is something that I use. I can review your product or service and write about it.
Unfortunately, you may or may not like what I write, I have vested interest in ensuring that my association is true and accurate.
I will not recommend otherwise and there is no pay-to-play access here. You have the best product or service? Sure thing. You want to pay me to give you good PR? Bugger off.
Why should I listen to you?
Don’t! I don’t care. My life is not your life. My experiences are not yours and vice versa. If we butt heads on certain things because of XYZ, so be it, that’s your life and it doesn’t make a difference in mine. I have nothing to prove to you, I don’t even need to build this website, who knows, I may nuke it off the internet whenever I see fit.
My income is not dependent on whether you buy from me. I already have equity deals, investments, and other ventures that I do not require your money from this site. This is for fun!
What's your story?
Nothing fancy. Lived life like anyone else. Did I grow up incredibly poor and have a heroic rise to the top? Nope.
Besides, what I consider successful is not in line with what others would consider a success. I want a ranch, food from the ranch for my own family, and have fun with a slow life. Completely self-sustained without worry of any supply chain issues.
What I consider “fun” is building things from scratch, buying and selling things, and scaling the odd unicorn. Rinse and repeat. Fail and learn. Succeed and get wealthy.
Do you do podcasts or interviews?
Not really. If your platform is in line with what I preach, there may be something we can work out. Shoot your shot and we’ll go from there.
Why did you build this website?
Selfishly: provide clarity and organization of my ideas in written form.
Selflessly: provide a shortcut with simple language for newbies that want to get to my position without all of the mistakes.
Overall: prove a point that anything can happen and anybody can do it.
