Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about purpose.
Not in the abstract or overly philosophical sense — but in the real, boots-on-the-ground kind of way. The kind that makes you pause mid-stride, look at your calendar, your inbox, your kids… and ask: Am I doing the work I’m meant to do?
If I had to distill it, I’d say this:
My purpose is to inspire and guide future generations to live well and give well, creating a legacy of abundance and kindness.
I didn’t come to this overnight. Like most meaningful things, it’s been refined through experience, reflection, and trial by fire. I recently explored this on PurposeFinder.ai — a tool worth checking out if you’re trying to articulate your own MTP (Massive Transformative Purpose).
What I’ve realized is this: I’m a conduit of opportunity. I’ve had the privilege of helping dozens of people make transformative changes in their lives — whether through career breakthroughs, business moves, personal finance clarity, or just being the right person at the right time with the right nudge. That’s not a flex — that’s fuel. It reminds me why I do what I do.
And it’s just the beginning.
The Channels That Light Me Up
The things I’m most passionate about — and where I believe I can make the greatest impact:
- Personal Finance – because financial literacy is the ultimate unlock. It gives people options, freedom, and control over their lives.
- Entrepreneurship & Business – because building something from scratch, solving problems, and creating value is a kind of alchemy I never get tired of.
- Fitness – because without energy and health, nothing else matters. And because discipline in one area tends to bleed into all the others.
- Technology – especially now, as we’re living through one of the most disruptive periods in human history.
We’re Living in the Age of Augmented Intelligence
AI is the big buzzword, but I think we’re missing the point if we only talk about it in terms of jobs lost or cool tools. We’re not in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Not yet.
We’re in the age of Augmented Intelligence.
Tech today isn’t replacing us, it’s amplifying us.
If you’re already great at something, AI makes you even more powerful. If you’re curious, it accelerates your learning. If you’re disciplined, it scales your output. The real question is:
Will you use AI as a tool to expand your potential or lean on it as a crutch that weakens your ambition?
This is the fork in the road. Some will become victims of the tech wave, sitting back and watching it all happen to them. Others will become victors, riding the wave to new heights, using it to create, contribute, and compound in ways we’ve never seen before.
The difference won’t be talent. It’ll be mindset.
Abundance Is Coming — But It Won’t Be Evenly Distributed
As we unlock things like abundant energy (fusion, solar, battery breakthroughs), we’ll also unlock abundant intelligence. And when that happens, the floor will rise dramatically.
But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: Even in abundance, some will still feel poor.
Because abundance isn’t just material — it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual. It’s earned, not handed out. It’s built through struggle, intentionality, and the decision to be a creator, not just a consumer.
This is what I want to teach my kids. This is what I want to model for their friends. This is what I want to build into every business I touch, every relationship I nurture, and every project I pour myself into.
The Legacy I’m Building
I want to build a world, or at least contribute to one, where:
- Living well (by one’s OWN design & definition) is the norm, not the exception.
- Giving well is second nature.
- Struggle is something we choose in the pursuit of greatness, not something imposed by broken systems.
- Legacy isn’t just what we leave behind — it’s what we ignite in others while we’re here.
There’s so much we can’t see yet. So much that’s coming fast — both risk and opportunity. It won’t all be easy. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy or without risk. That’s the nature of any powerful shift. But I sincerely believe that the net effect will be overwhelmingly positive. If we stay grounded, curious, and intentional, I believe we will unlock a future filled with abundance, creativity, and human flourishing on a scale we’ve never seen before.
It won’t be perfect.
But it will be possible.
And that’s more than enough to get to work.
So that’s the path I’m on.
To inspire.
To guide.
To compound good.
To live well and give generously.
Let’s build the future — together.
