I've shared a lot of personal things over the years. Some may say too personal. But social media and the blog has not been about wanting fame or following but a daily journal. A journal about living life and how I do it. It's not right or wrong, merely showing how it's working for me.
Keeping your expenditures and wants down while still having drive and goals. Everything is a result of the work you put in and the people you associate with.
Rich comes in all forms. Money is an important one. Rich only comes from sacrifice, working hard, saving, monitoring spending, staying healthy, minimizing wants, surrounding yourself with love, and finding time to do things you enjoy.
I received this DM and it's the kind of thing I look at and know I've done the right thing sharing. So many people took their time to say thank you and let me know they enjoyed and were inspired by my words. You don't have to be better or wealthier than anyone. You only have to be better than you were yesterday.
Succession (yeah, the tv show) convinced Shane Cultra to quit the family nursery his great‑grandpa started.
On Moneywise, we talked about his $10M net worth and why his dad didn't speak to him for a year.
The numbers:
-$10M net worth
-$500k in cash
-$3M+ liquid asset
-12 Bitcoin (avg cost $11k each)
-$1.5M domain portfolio generating $200-300k/year
-Half his wife's $2M 401k
-$300k in trading account
His family business went from $70k in retail sales to $7M annually under his watch.
Despite the success, his dad only paid him $30k/year for years. what'd he do?
Side hustles: trading, buying domains, NFTs, and a blog he sold to Lionsgate for $75k.
said his dad hated it. "My dad thought side income made me less hungry."
One of the crazier parts:
When Shane sold a bored ape NFT for $1M, his dad was furious instead of happy.
After 25 years, what finally broke him?
"I'm not gonna lie. I think Succession is the reason I left."
Says he watched the first few episodes and realized: "Oh shit. This is us."
His dad's response? Complete silence for one full year.
The thing that finally brought them back together?
A book of stories from all his father's friends about why they loved him.
On the pod we cover how even multi-generational family businesses can't survive forcing someone into a role they've outgrown.
