99% Failures
1% Still Here
The good news? I’m still standing — and apparently, that counts as progress.
So yes, I trip a lot. But somehow, I manage to fall forward.
Graduated From the School of Oops
And in practice, money is logical. People aren’t.
I still believe in people — not because it’s easy, but because it’s the only way any of this makes sense.
Numbers Don't Lie
Data looks clean. Life doesn’t. But I keep counting anyway.
Years Of Glorious Fails & Comebacks
Every year taught me something no degree could. Success gave me dopamine, but failure built the muscles to try again.
Ideas That Looked Brilliant at 2AM
Some made money. Some made memes. All made perfect sense - until daylight showed up.
Emails That Changed Nothing
But a few started friendships, which changed everything. Not ROI, but ROH: Return on Humanity.
Crazy Ideas Backed & Executed
Everyone said “too risky.” I said “why not?” Some crashed spectacularly; all reminded me to believe when others don’t.
Pivots, Only a Few on Purpose
The best plans? Usually stubborn accidents. I eventually called them “strategy.”
Goal That Never Changed
To keep trying, even when logic says stop. Because hope is a better fuel than fear.
I stopped chasing wins when I realized failure had better stories. The bruises fade, but the lessons don’t.— Philosophy 101: Taught by life, graded by time.
Someone once gave me a chance I didn’t deserve. I promised myself I’d pass that luck forward — one person, one coffee, one “you’ve got this” at a time. Most won’t remember me, and that’s fine. I just hope they remember how it felt to be believed in.
Fancy Papers & Real Scars
Where academic achievements meet street-level bruises
Academic Overachiever (Recovering)
Ph.D. Financial Economics
Learned every model. Then watched reality ignore all of them.
B.S. Business Administration
Learned textbook strategies. Real business never read those books.
B.S. Psychology
At least this one explains why I keep doing this to myself.
Professional Certifications
Collected like trading cards—entertaining, rarely profitable, but kept me curious about everything.
Supply Chain Management
To study global chaos — and accidentally join it.
Real Estate
Teaches two things: timing and therapy.
Health Insurance
Basically an advanced course in patience and paperwork.
Fixing laptops is way simpler than fixing people.
Each certification: A reminder that learning never stops, even when profitability does.
Principles I (Try to) Live By
The compass that sometimes points north, sometimes spins wildly
Truth over Comfort
Awkward truths age better than sweet lies. Failures, flops, and rare wins — better shared than hidden.
Progress by Stumbling
Falling forward still counts as motion. Every crash is just experience in disguise.
Lift as You Climb
Every failure taught me empathy. Every win taught me gratitude. Climb higher, but leave a hand reaching down.
Actions Prove Everything
Words are auditions. Actions get the role. Talk less. Show up more.
Things I Learned By Doing Them Wrong First
Every disaster came with a lesson attached. Some I ignored. Some I actually listened to. Here's what survived the filter and might actually help you avoid my specific brand of detours.
Critical Thinking & Team Management
Learned that problems don’t solve themselves — especially the ones you avoid. Stripping issues to their core hurts the ego but saves the team. Logic isn’t sexy, but it keeps the chaos at bay.
- Find root causes, not scapegoats
- Decide from data, not drama
- Build habits that outlast motivation
- Process > panic
💬 Real “leadership” mostly means listening longer and reacting slower.
Brand Building & Storytelling
I never planned to do this — I just liked figuring out what makes people care. Now I help teams talk about what they actually do — not what the pitch deck says they do. Still figuring it out, but here’s what usually works better than buzzwords:
- Simplicity does more work than slogans
- Honesty sounds messy, but people remember it
- Real data beats nice adjectives
- Consistency beats cleverness
💬 Marketing is easy. Making people care is the hard part.
Blockchain & AI Innovation
I chased both tech waves — fell off a few. Stopped worshipping buzzwords, started shipping things that worked.
- Tokenomics with a survival instinct
- AI with utility, not just vocabulary
- Filter noise from actual opportunity
- Integrate without overcomplicating
💬 Innovation’s fun — until someone asks for ROI.
Startup & Venture Survival
Built startups, broke a few, learned that optimism needs math. Coaching founders taught me that hope is a strategy — just not the whole one.
- Pitch decks that survive investor silence
- Know when to pivot before it’s heroic
- Financial models with actual decimals
- Fund creatively when “no” becomes background noise
💬 Startups don’t die from failure. They die from denial.

I’ve stumbled enough times to know progress rarely looks graceful. But if you’re still here, odds are you believe — like I do — that it’s worth trying anyway. Let’s make something real. Even if it explodes, at least it’ll be interesting.
