This is a reflection on 2025, a year where I restructured my $7 million information business, became a dad for the second time, lost nearly 40 pounds, and completely redesigned how I approach building businesses and life.

I share what I learned from navigating major business changes, personal health transformation, and family milestones while staying present.

Specifically, I dive into why energy is the foundational asset that everything else depends on...

The shift from building someone else's empire to building your own...

Why "going all in" is actually the easier path (and why integration is harder)

What alignment really requires and why it takes courage

How creating structure and space unlocks opportunity

The importance of having a clear North Star vision

I share these updates as part of documenting the Quiet Empire, a long-term approach to business, capital, and life.
