After 10 years of bad nutrition and poor exercise, I made a radical change.

90 Day Results:
🧠. Clarity
πŸ’ͺ Six Pack Abs
🧈 Lost 8% Body Fat
πŸ“‰ Blood Pressure
πŸ“‰ Resting Heart Rate
πŸ“› No inflammation
🦠 Mild Covid-19

Can you guess what I did? πŸ‘‡
Years ago, @saifedean introduced me and some of the @casahodl team to the #carnivore diet.

This sounded totally contrary to anything I'd learned in college. How could someone survive on just meat?

I was perplexed, but fortunately I kept an open mind.

Since then, I've been a big lurker on #carnivore #keto Twitter and watched the evidence pile up from accounts like @KenDBerryMD, @KetoCarnivore, & @Mangan150.

When I finally decided to get serious about my health, there was only one option, πŸ₯©.

The results blew my mind. 🀯
On day 1 of my 90 day experiment, I built this cardboard & pvc dehydrator and filled it with 6 lbs of flank steak.

Soon I had a steady source of beef jerky. I was becoming a meat eating machine.

πŸ‘†Thanks to @bitstein's justmeat.co for DIY jerky maker instructions.
This went well for a few days, BUT by the end of week 1, my resolve was weakening.

The jump from carb-ivore to carnivore felt unsustainable, so I dialed it back to a meat-based keto diet. This gave me some more variety: non-animal fats, some vegetables, and up to 20 carbs/ day.
It's hard to commit to something if you're not seeing progress, so I recommend regular ketone testing to track your levels.

Urine test strips are inexpensive and easy to find. They'll give you a rough idea of how you're doing, but the results aren't real-time.
For accurate data on how your levels fluctuate throughout the day, you should use a ketone blood meter. This will give you a better real-time report.

It only takes a small finger prick and a drop of blood, and you can buy one for $40 on Amazon.

Here's my reading after fasting.
Keto is like finding the "cheat code" to fat loss.

My experiment was from June 1 - Sept 1, and I used @roamresearch for tracking daily vitals, mood, and energy levels.

90 Day Results:

πŸ’ͺ Ripped Physique
🧠 Mental Benefits
❀️ Healthier Heart
πŸ“› No Inflammation
πŸ”‹ Stable energy
After 100 days of keto, I took my first cheat day. The next morning the soreness was back. I'm pretty confident the culprit is processed sugar.

Now I'm planning to stick to a ketogenic diet long-term.

WE SOLD WAVVE. 🀯

It started as passive income dream... that one day we'd earn enough to pay our mortgages.

Now, it's going to change my entire family tree.

Here's a BIG THREAD with all the juicy details about selling @wavve. The moment the wire hit our...
Let's start with that time we almost sold Wavve (way back in Jan 2019).

We were at $30k MRR with no plans to sell when we got an email from someone interested in buying.

If you're a founder and suddenly get an offer with all those zeroes, it's very hard to turn it down!
Now our business had a fixed number tied to it, and I suddenly had this newfound fear of loss.

@BairdHall and I met for coffee and explored our options. The cash sounded great, but we took our time deliberating. I built some models to compare the offer to our future cash flows. Calculating NPV and Project...

I got pretty aggressive will goal setting recently.

βœ… 90 Days of #Keto
βœ… Write a book & earn $1
βœ… Launch new SaaS biz & earn $1
βœ… 6 Pack Abs in 6 Weeks (this started as a joke)

Here's what happened.πŸ‘‡
Goal: 6 WEEK 6 PACK

This one started as a joke.

But then I wondered, what if it's actually possible?

I decided to go for it.

Changed my diet. Strict #keto for 90 days. Got serious about exercise & sleep.

RESULTS:

βœ… Visible 6 Pack in just 6 Weeks
βœ… < 12% Body Fat
Goal: Write a Book & Earn $1

I've been interested in Info Products for years but never made the time.

After paying off $250k in student debt, I decided to write a guide for others struggling with this.

RESULTS:

βœ… Earned $1 on 8/30/2020 (now free)

I was drowning in $250k of student debt with no idea how to repay it. It took years and I made every mistake along the way, by last year I paid them off.

Now I've written a book to help anyone else struggling with student loan debt.

100% off code πŸ‘‡ Image
I want to get this to people who actually need it, and don't really care about generating profits. I've listed it for sale with a β€œpay what you want” price tag.

gum.co/RZPSo

If you don’t want to pay the $1 minimum, feel free to use the code, 'bootstacker'.
$3.2 million borrowers have 6-figure student loans, and until now there was no guide for paying down large sums of student debt.

Odds are high that you know someone under a ⛰️ of debt.

Please share this link or download the eBook to send it someone who could benefit.

Embarrassing confession that I haven't shared publicly until now.

A few years ago, I owed $250,000 in student loans.

Mega thread on:
- Student Loans
- America's debt addiction
- Learning to code
- Bootstrapping a Business
- Asymmetric risks (ex/ #Bitcoin)
I felt sick. It was Christmas 2016 and I'd logged in to Navient.

balance: $244,957

daily interest: $51/day 😭

How did this happen?

Easy. Borrow $160k @7.5%. Enroll in income based repayment. Pay what they ask. Continue for 5 yrs. PRESTO - $85k to my tab.
LESSON 1: Don't be on the wrong side of compound interest

SallieMae required $1600/mo just to keep it from growing. I was burning money and missing years of compound returns. When I realized I was imprisoned by them, I got ANGRY enough to do something.

I've been skeptical of the whole narrative that "Robinhood + Retail + Stimulus checks" are driving this market rally.

BUT, Robinhood API data actually backs this up.

1 - The same that's been borderline junk for years, grew 3x in popularity in 90 days. Image
2 - AT&T ($T), the most indebted corporation in the world, has doubled in popularity since March. Debt is also BBB rated. Wonder how many buyers know that? Image
3 - American Airlines ($AAL) appears to have more than 10x'd during over the last 90 days. Image
