🧗🏽‍♂️ THE CLIMB — 001

Welcome to The Climb

This isn’t a recap. It’s a field journal.

I’m documenting the real-time systems, lessons, and mindset shifts I’m using to build a life anchored in impact, community, creativity, and freedom. I share what I’m learning while I navigate business, family, wellness, and legacy-building.

But this isn’t just about me.

I’m writing to find and build with others who are climbing too — people who care about sovereignty, service, sustainability, and showing up as the version of themselves they’re here to become.

If you’re walking your own path toward purpose and pressure-tested success, I hope this helps you keep your footing.

Let’s climb.

🗺️ This Week on the Mountain: How I Turned Chaos Into Clarity

This week, I did a lot more than work out or check boxes.

• Lost 2 pounds

• Ran 2.13 miles at my fastest pace in 10 years

• Got voted back onto the board of STOKED

• Recovered my stolen bike

• Built my own NYC Marathon training plan using a custom AI GPT

• Held space for tension, dreams, and decisions that used to unravel me

And at one point, I was standing in the Delta Sky Club — paid for with miles I earned through work I’ve done in the past — and I had this moment of stillness:

⚙️ System of the Week: Copy/Paste What Works

This week’s biggest shift came from a small realization:
I lost 3 pounds not by suffering, but by applying a system I could trust:

• Track everything (food, activity, progress)

• Prioritize what fuels you (protein > empty calories)

• Move every day

• Don’t panic when things fluctuate — adjust

So I asked:
What if I apply this to my business? My money? My time?

No new goals. Just new applications.

🧠 What Surprised Me

• I had a dream where my father was alive. He died in 2021. We were outside. Smoking cigarettes together. No words — just presence.
  That dream hit me. It reminded me I’m not doing this alone. He’s still with me.

• I overdrafted my account by $5–6K… and didn’t panic.
  I tracked it like I would a meal. Observed the data. Adjusted.

• I created a full marathon training program with AI — tuned to my needs.
  I’m no longer waiting for someone to show me how to train, grow, or lead.

🛠️ 3 Takeaways You Can Apply This Week

1. Translate your discipline
   Already consistent with fitness? Parenting? Writing?
   Reverse-engineer what works and apply it to what feels stuck.

2. Neutral data = powerful clarity
   Tracking without emotion — food, money, mood — helps you make better moves with less drama.

3. Legacy lives in motion
   Whether it’s your father, your future, or your work — the legacy lives in what you do, not just what you dream.

🧭 Where I’m Climbing Next

Week 2 Theme:

This week I’m focusing on:

• Repeating the meals that fuel me

• Tracking money with the same clarity I use for macros

• Clearing one room of my home every day

• Creating from a clean mind, not from pressure

• Sticking to my AI-designed run plan — and staying in motion

💬 Final Word

You don’t need to chase a new version of yourself.
You just need to move like the one who’s already doing the work.

If this resonated, reply and let me know what you’re working on this week. Or forward this to someone building in real time, too.

We’re not doing this for attention. We’re doing this for alignment.

See you next week,
