I quit on 3/31—and I’m building

I quit my job on March 31st.

Not because I had a six-figure cushion.
Not because everything was perfectly planned.
I quit because I couldn’t unsee the truth:
I was surviving, not living. And I was tired of confusing a paycheck with peace.

Over the past few years, I stacked the kind of skills the system never taught us:

  • Closed over 140 real estate deals

  • Completed two years of law school—sharpening my knowledge of contracts and strategy

  • Got licensed in multiple lines of insurance (life, health, annuities, P&C)

  • Learned how to be the bank—not just borrow from one

  • Built frameworks, coached others, and watched lives transform

And yet… I was still shrinking myself.
Still sitting on a mission while knowing I was built for more.

So I walked away.

On 3/31, I chose freedom over familiarity.
And within weeks, I joined a mastermind led by Tony Robbins, *************, Lisa Nichols, and other icons—because if I was betting on myself, I was going all in.

This isn’t just a story about quitting.
It’s about stepping into a mission:
To teach real estate, financial literacy, and digital strategy to those who’ve been overlooked, underestimated, or simply over it.

To build something that outlives me.
To help others remember what thriving feels like.

For the first-gens.
For the legacy-minded.
For the ones who know they were never crazy—they were just early.

What we do next is everything.
