Okay. I'm ready to talk about this.
It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me.
Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison.
The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned.
Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns.
In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained.
Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack.
Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed.
It was discovered when I went through immigration.
At first I assumed I'd just be sent home.
Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it.
To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement.
This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying.
The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life.
I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week.
Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better.
Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream.
The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit.
The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years.
It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had.
I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind.
Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets.
I should be euphoric 24/7.
To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one.
Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident.
I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha.
My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away.
I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception.
I'm writing this to help you stop.
It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark.
But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today.
If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise.
Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up.
Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.

Morning & evening sunlight viewing is going to be the best “improve daytime wakefulness & night time sleep” for the time spent (~5-20min & you can do other things during). Overcast = still sunLIGHT. Make it non negotiable.

Morning sunlight & evening sunlight in your eyes entrains your circadian clock to the ambient light dark cycle. The most important of these is morning sunlight. If you miss that 2-3 days, you start to phase shift & will find getting up early more difficult. 1 day is no problem.

I have been bullish about Decentralized Science (#DeSci) for some time and have been knee-deep in researching them with the @Blockcircle alpha community for quite some time, I have allocated a portion of my portfolio across multiple DeSci projects.
#DeSci is not being discussed much at all, and cumulative global search volume and popularity have been at high levels recently, exactly like AI Agents recently, even though it's not as popular as AI Agents.
I will introduce it the same way I introduced AI Agents, which was an excellent pursuit.
Here is the way I view it, there are three opportunity areas:
Key Investment Focuses
* Opportunity 1: Broad-based sector exposure via $BIO
** Opportunity 2: Exposure to Biological DAOs
*** Opportunity 3: Exposure to Biological Web3 Projects
* OPPORTUNITY 1
$BIO is a protocol designed to fund and provide liquidity to Decentralized Science (DeSci) DAOs, such as ValleyDAO, VitaDAO, and CryoDAO, while fostering their growth through access to resources and networks.
Formerly known as “bio.xyz” and operating under the Molecule 1 umbrella, BIO facilitated over $30 million in funding for bioDAOs.
Recently, it has transitioned into an independent decentralized protocol dedicated to science funding and liquidity.
BIO @bioprotocol actually airdropped tens of millions of dollars to most of the biological DAOs which are below
** OPPORTUNITY 2
There are many biological DAOs that will give you broad exposure to a basket of DeSci projects they are supporting, such as:
VitaDAO ($VITA) @vita_dao
HairDAO ($HAIR) @HairDAO_
ValleyDAO ($GROW) @valley_dao
AthenaDAO ($ATH) @athena_DAO_
CryoDAO ($CRYO) @cryodao
Cerebrum DAO ($NEURON) @Cerebrum_DAO
PsyDAO ($PSY) @psy_dao
Quantum Biology DAO ($QBIO) @QuantumBioDAO
Vitamin C CTO ($VC) - more for fun @VitaminCTO
Curetopia - To Be Launched @endrarediseases
Long Covid Labs - To Be Launched @longcovidlabs
For example, one of the interesting ones is AthenaDAO, which works closely with Molecule on IP-NFTs, which bridge Intellectual Property and NFTs.
Additionally, AthenaDAO is exploring other Web3 innovations, including zero-knowledge proofs and decentralized data storage solutions.
I would urge you to learn about IP Tokens (IPTs) as I do believe this will become very popular in the future: docs.molecule.to/documentati…
*** OPPORTUNITY 3
These are four real DeSci projects that have successfully raised capital on the Molecule/Catalyst platform and are being led by actual scientific researchers, doctors, and universities.
This includes $CRISPR from @crisprAI and @Nuclease_DAO, I have written about this before, and will write more soon about why it could be disruptive
I will write more threads soon on which ones are particularly interesting
catalyst.molecule.xyz/projec…
catalyst.molecule.xyz/projec…
catalyst.molecule.xyz/projec…
catalyst.molecule.xyz/projec…
In this area, there are also crypto native DeSci projects which are very interesting to me, like $SciHub @SciHubFans, which was a meme token which donated 20% to the actual SciHub which was worth $20M and SciHub embraced the donation beautifully, they even featured it on their home page.
SciHub is a scientific resource of journals and publications used by 80M scientists worldwide. Monica DAO might end up becoming the DeSci mascot for BIO and the wider BIO ecosystem as well.
There is also CRISPR AI and nuDAO and @Big_Pharmai Big Pharma ($DRUGS) DAO etc etc, will share more on these soon

This is still happening FYI. An no its not my meme coin. It's an entire other monster.
Cool point will be important because its for cool people.
Should prob like/share/comment so that you keep getting mo coo ponts.
