Start Here

On October 25, 2025 I published Ben Franklin Blueprint: Rich Evergreen Lessons on Health, Wealth, and Relationships. 

Since then I have been focused on utilizing AI for the handwritten book's distribution. 

November 12, 2025, I came up with an experiment to let Grok help optimize this mostly-dormant blog. It's basically the world's smartest and most versatile production assistant. 

Until 2026, I'll be the creative director and editor while AI is a primary co-producer and co-writer with me. 

The intention is to document the AI prompting process from a daily user with years and a variety of experience while seeing if together we come up with a successful strategy for a basic blogger site. 

Ben Franklin Blueprint is 305 of the great thinker's best axioms, curated and translated from Poor Richard's Almanac, Franklin's 13 Virtues, and modern notes. Selected by human eye and crafted by hand after 23 years of experience with the source material. 

Blog has the latest (breaking!) updates, where I investigate and write about Health, Writing, AI, Marketing, and more.  

I invite you to explore, Considerate Reader.

Grok suggested I tell you:

Start Here

I made 6 figures as a server. Wrote a book on Ben Franklin. Summarize Attia, Robbins, Rohn. 

Goal: Help you live longer, earn more, master yourself.

The Difference Between Understanding and Doing

Is the difference between 0 and 1.  It's not some incremental improvement. It's crossing a chasm--going from nothing to something.  Over the past couple weeks I've brought this blog back online after unpublishing all of it several years ago. This entailed going through dozens of old posts.  I deleted all the haiku. Most of them were trash; all of them were a lazy way to fulfill my self-imposed one-post-a-day quota. Several longer posts were unproductive rants from a hurt, angry young man. These were deleted as well.  However, the majority of the non-haiku posts were (in my opinion) worthwhile, positive insights that I still believe today.  The problem? Aside from writing brief blog posts, I did nothing to execute on these valuable sentiments. There was a (shallow) understanding with no action.  Don't let 6 years go by (and it really does fly). Start doing things that are in accord with your highest values. Today .  The do more tomorrow. And the next da...

Money Master the Game by Tony Robbins [Book Summary #18]

This book   contains the information they should have taught you and me in high school business classes. It sheds a light on how brokers get rich while pillaging their clients' nest eggs through excessive fees. It's also a labor of love; Tony Robbins is donating 100% of the proceeds to Feeding America. Please utilize the information contained here (and more thoroughly in the book) to take back your financial destiny. If you find the information useful, please pay it forward by sharing it with others who can benefit from it. Introduction V2MOM [Marc Benioff]  1. What do I really want? (Vision.) 2.

Cultivate an Inner Witness

Image
  This is the third time this concept has popped up in my life in the last couple weeks. Dr. Nicole LePera, in her great book How to Do the Work , says we are not our thoughts, we are the thinker of our thoughts.  David Goggins talks about creating Goggins , his alter ego that pushes him to accomplish incredible feats, in the inspiring Never Finished .  A couple more related sentiments: Meditation philosophies often tell us that we are not our thoughts, we are the observer of our thoughts.  Creating a fictional board of directors for You Inc. has been recommended by [I'm blanking on which famous business guru said it]. I've made it a point to focus on remembering lessons that show up in multiple places--especially ones spanning diverse cultures. This one certainly fits the bill.  In order to reach our full potential, we should cultivate an inner witness. One that pushes us to act (with responsible detachment) according to our virtuous goals.
