The top 5 US banks just reported combined 2021 *profit* (not revenue) of...

💰 $145 BILLION

Let that sink in for a minute 🤯

Where did that profit come from? You and I.

What has your bank done to help YOU get ahead? Probably not much.

Do we deserve better? Yes.

👇
I'm a capitalist & believe companies have the right to be as big & profitable as they choose.

But I also believe in free markets & disruption of oligopolies that take more than they give.

💥 How to Kick Ass at Everything

For 30 years I've been obsessed with health & fitness. I've spent over $100k & tried 100's of things (some wacky) to overcome illness & become stronger & sharper at 51 than I was at 30.

Here's what I’ve learned—maybe 1 thing will inspire you👇🧵 Image
🤒 My journey began out of necessity after being struck by a mystery illness (probably viral) in my 20's.

It utterly wrecked my health—within just a few weeks I went from being a vibrant, athletic adult to essentially bedridden, with symptoms ranging from crushing fatigue to...
... panic attacks to recurrent infections. It's hard to look at pics of myself from that period (but I included one below).

Conditions like this (including "long COVID") are poorly understood. At the time the best traditional medicine had to offer was psych meds & steroids.

💰 7 Simple Ways to Build Wealth in 2022

I’ve spent 20 years in finance & have seen just about everything. Because of my unusual upbringing (more on that below), helping people get ahead financially is a personal mission.

TBH I have a chip on my shoulder...

🧵👇
...against our financial system. It's rigged against regular working Americans in ways that most aren't even aware of.

Rich or poor, hear me out & I bet you’ll pick up at least one strategy to beat the system.

But first, a short personal story:
I grew up in a home that operated on a cash-only basis—my parents literally kept stacks of 💵 in a safe in their closet.

In their whole lives they never had a loan, credit card, insurance, or investment of any kind 🤯

🏔️The Myth of Accomplishment

This morning I read a tweet that contained a stern warning for young people:

“If you focus on work-life balance, you won’t reach the top of any discipline.”

Don't buy it—this statement is a false dichotomy, a trap. Here's why...

🧵👇
Firstly, I hate the term “work-life balance” because it implies that life is a zero sum game—that to be great at one thing you have to suck at another. That you can have either career ambition or a healthy, multi-dimensional life but not both.
Ironically, those with the most “balanced” lives don’t use that term—because they don’t seek balance, they seek to kick ass at everything. It's a pursuit, not a state of being.

Beware of those who use that term (esp in critical way) because they aren’t the ones to emulate.

💥Fab Five Follows under Five-K

Nothing sharpens thinking like writing—I think everyone should tweet, mostly for themselves.

But it sure is fun to have followers. The relationships I’ve made here have changed my life.

Early on, tweeting can feel like… 🧵👇
…shouting into the void 📢

But if you stay at it you’ll find a voice & followers will come. Early on, a few kind people gave me shoutouts & inspired me to keep going.

So I’m going to pay it forward.

Here are 5 of my fav accounts with < 5k followers:
1️⃣ @NikkiRogersOP — Queen of the side hustle. Nikki is raw & honest (she regularly shares her net worth) & her energy is infectious. A must follow!

2️⃣ @friedmandave — A big 🧠 with deep knowledge on a wide range of topics. Dave has a huge vocabulary & teaches me new words.

🔐The Unlock

About 15 years ago I had a very strange encounter.

I was at a backyard party and an older man—he looked to be in his 70’s—came up to me and said…

“You don’t know me but I’ve been watching you all evening and... 🧵👇
...I think you’re going to do big things in life. But fear is holding you back.”

He caught me completely off guard—one of the rare moments when I’ve been speechless. He continued…

“Here’s what I’d like you to do:
Go to a river or lake and pick up 7 stones. Hold each stone and think about one of your fears. Then toss each stone into the water and let those fears go.”

Now remember, I grew up around hustlers & was taught that if you don’t know who’s being hustled then it’s you. So...
