I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self

Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…

Here are my top 8:

7.

Bonus (he’s 63).
Notice how they all say what's most important/they regret not prioritizing is:

• Health
• Family time
• Experiences
• Relationships
• Enjoying each day

& they realized money & working hard is not important...
Thankfully, I've realized this at 34.

Which is why I retired from my 9-5 at 30 & now spend my time:

• With my daughters & wife
• Prioritizing health
• Traveling

My biggest fear is having regrets at 70-100 years old.

I'm living my life now so that won't be a problem.

Everyone should have a vending machine that makes $600 a month.

It takes 30 minutes a week to manage (& can even save you on taxes).

Here are 7 steps to launch in the next 30 days: Image
Step 1: Finance your machine.

You don't need $5,000 upfront.

Most vending distributors offer 10% down & the rest paid monthly (~$200/mo).

That's $500 out of pocket for a $5,000 machine.
Step 2: Find your location.

I look for…

→ Stationary audience
→ 50+ people passing daily
→ Limited food options nearby

Best spots: Urgent cares, warehouses, apartment complexes, and gyms.

Don’t buy Bitcoin.
Don’t buy an ATM.
Don’t buy a laundromat.

Instead, buy this little smart cooler that turns any apartment complex into a cash machine.

Let me show you exactly how it works: Image
Apartment complexes are desperate for modern amenities right now.

Most still have broken vending machines collecting dust from 2015.

Property managers want solutions.

Residents want convenience.

You can be the bridge between them.

This is your moment.

Here's the exact process:
Step 1: Find apartment buildings on Google Maps

Search your area.

Look for complexes with full parking lots (high foot traffic indicator).

Make a list of 30-50 properties.

Don’t spend $5,000 on a nice watch.

Instead, invest in a Micromarket that can pay you $5,000 every month.

(One of mine makes $22k+/month).

Best part?

No big down payment needed.

Here's how you can start yours: Image
1. What are Micromarkets?

Micromarkets are the future of passive income.

They're basically high-end vending machines:

• 0 employees needed
• High profit margins
• Unlimited earning potential

I've placed 5 myself & helped countless others do the same.

Now, to get started…
2. You first need to find the perfect location.

Look for high-traffic areas like:

• Office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Manufacturing facilities

Reach out to property managers by email, phone, or in person.

I asked AI to design the perfect diet for living to 100.

But with one catch:

It had to cost less than $200/week.

Here’s the exact meal plan it gave me (step by step). 🧵
The prompt I gave AI:

“Design a 7-day diet for maximum lifespan. Budget: <$200/week. Must be realistic, filling, and based on the best science.”

No supplements. No gimmicks. Just food.
The rules AI followed:

1. Anchor every meal with protein
2. Prioritize whole plants + fiber
3. Limit processed junk + sugar
4. Healthy fats from fish, nuts, olive oil
5. Stick to realistic portions

Total spend: $180–190/week for one adult.

This Ex-Google exec says AI dystopia starts in 2027.

He predicts:

• Jobs vanish overnight
• Power concentrates in few hands
• Most people fall into UBI dependence

The good news?

He broke down EXACTLY how it’ll happen (& how you can protect yourself): 🧵 Image
He calls it the FACE RIPS era.

Freedom, Accountability, Connection, Equality, Reality, Innovation, Power.

All ripped apart.

But there's one thing he doesn't mention: Those building assets NOW won't need to worry.
"Most jobs won't shift, they'll vanish."

Legal assistants, marketers, developers - gone.

Your only protection? Income streams that don't require your presence.

Because assets pay you whether AI exists or not.

You can purchase a micromarket or smart cooler for $0 down, place it in an apartment complex in your city & make $3,000-$22,000/month in passive income.

Here's your exact step-by-step blueprint to do it: Image
Image
I have 20+ of these smart coolers & micromarkets.

They’re basically modern versions of a vending machine.

They're also a lot bigger...

This means instead of just chips & soda, you can stock:

• Salads
• Smoothies
• Sandwiches

& make a lot more money.

Here’s how:
1. Find a location.

Unattended retail is in high demand right now.

I’ve placed 10+ & have helped countless others place their own.

You want to target locations that have high foot traffic.

Places like:

• Office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Manufacturing facilities
