I believe one of the most interesting things we can learn about someone are the frameworks they use to become the person they are.
Personally, I used to study Sergei Fedorov and would watch him skate in slow motion as a kid so I could imitate his framework and become a great skater like he was.
Fortunately, skating became my best attribute as a hockey player and helped build the foundation for my career playing internationally and as a pro.
This has led me over the years to thinking about my frameworks on money, investing, psychology, selling, persuasion, politics, and the first principles I have used to build the foundation of my life and my decision making.
I have been blessed with my life and success I have had, and hopefully my children can learn something and start further down the road.
I don’t want 2nd or 3rd generations to have to make the mistakes I did. Some are good but I want them to have a head start. I want them learning the skills necessary so they aren’t losing the freedoms they were granted.
Going to continue to share my journey and the things I am thinking through to document mental models etc. (Ongoing feedback welcome and wanted.)
For example, I use to think the answers to fixing the human world lay within politics, then I saw the events of the last 15 years and the “uni-party” unveiled and it radically changed my views.
I realized the fight wasn’t "red versus blue," but instead "the state versus you."
Once I had the correct lenses everything started to make sense, just like getting the right prescription from the eye doctor.

This led me to studying the destruction of money in to fiat currencies and how our communication layer of money has been distorted to steal from the productive in society.
I initially thought gold and silver were the answer for years as I started my studies, because of course the metals backed real money for thousands of years.
I kept learning and studying, building businesses, investing, and the problems I saw still persisted.
Polarization, hate, division, and disparity continued to grow and I began to study a new world where people had ultimate control over their lives, wealth, property and was no longer in the hands of a few.
This video is one of the foundational pieces to the next step in that journey that I started in 2009 and then had to question my beliefs again in 2017-2018.
Alvin Toffler in his 1970 book Future Shock said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
I have had to question long held beliefs of mine and many have been shattered over the last 15 years.
Unfortunately, the further in to your studies you go, the less you feel you know.
If you have any models or frameworks that have really helped in your life that you would like to share please do, always looking to grow and refine and polish my own thinking.
Stay strong,
