today is my birthday. i won't be leaking how old i turned because i think a lot of people would be frankly surprised by how young i am. looking back this has honestly been the greatest year of my life. i went from running my own failed crypto card startup to joining the team at @flexsuperapp, helping scale crypto and global banking alongside some truly exceptional people. working with our ceo @zaidrmn, our head of crypto @randombankguy, and the rest of the killers on the team like @thetimhe, @emmanuelgkamau, @nickparis3, and @pixelatedvince has completely changed how i think about life and business. not just because of how exceptionally smart they are, but because of the standards they hold themselves to and the intensity they bring every single day. it's made me a much such a harder worker and a much better person. i am blessed to have the privilege of sitting in rooms with founders and ceos i never imagined i'd meet. people building multi billion dollar companies that i used to only know from the internet are now people i get to speak with on a regular basis thanks to my role at Flex and the community i've built on X. over the last few months, close to 6,000 of you have decided to follow me on X. never in a million years did i expect so many people to care to hear me yap about my thoughts on crypto, neobanks, fintech, and business. thank you to each and every one of you. every follow, reply, dm, phone call, and conversation means more than you know. a year ago i never would've believed i'd be where i am today. if there's one thing i've learned, it's that almost anything is possible if you're willing to keep showing up every single day. keep dreaming. keep working. and most importantly, never give up. life is amazing.

as a business owner, there's real pride in a boring month where nothing goes wrong.
