Communist regimes killed more people in the 20th century than both World Wars combined. Over 100 million. And yet 34% of young Americans have a favorable view of communism. This is an education problem โ and Kansas can now do something about it.



For a quick project overview now that weโve broken ground: Townsend is a ~1-acre mixed-use infill project in a growing, walkable district in the Oklahoma City metro (downtown Edmond). It includes 2 live-works + 18 townhomes for sale, plus ~13,000 SF of mixed-use commercial that weโre holding long-term with investors and operating as a professional workspace: apolloworkspace.com We call this โinner-block development.โ We arenโt just lining buildings along a street โ weโre shaping a sequence of inner-block spaces. When youโre standing inside the project, you're in your own little world. This is where the magic happens. And itโs why we love ~3/4-acre+ sites: you can create a real, coherent โplaceโ. A pocket neighborhood with its own identity. Do this within an already growing, walkable district, a place within a place, and thatโs our thesis at Building Culture. Walkable places are the most valuable real estate over the long term. In walkable places, demand often increases with supply. The more people move there, the more businesses and services the area can support โ and the better it gets. We want to leverage this by focusing our efforts on several walkable districts across the OKC metro, building the undersupplied โmissing ingredientsโ of great walkable places. Weโve broken Townsend into three phases to manage risk and use equity efficiently. We just broke ground on the Phase 1 commercial: demo โก๏ธ grading โก๏ธ utilities โก๏ธ foundationโฆthen the structural masonry starts this spring. Thatโs when things start getting reeeally cool. Building Culture is the architect, GC, and lead developer on the project. We have 30 individual investors whoโve joined us to help make this happen, and weโre immensely grateful. More to come as we build.










On January 23, Iโll be free soloing Taipei 101 in Taiwan. Itโs been a long time goal of mine and itโll be the most ambitious urban climb that Iโve attempted. Itโs a nearly 1,700 ft tower! Whatโs not to like?! And Iโll be doing it LIVE on @netflix. Tune in Friday, January 23 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT



The top researcher on effects of different light wavelengths on mitochondrial health says LED bulbs are as problematic for health as asbestos. People will kick & scream about this, but Dr Jefferyโs lab has strong data on harmful effects of LED bulbs & the benefits of red light.









How many pictures of blue city slums do we have to post before they get embarrassed enough to stop with this stupid talking point they all keep copying from each other?

This was the first Starship to be static fired on the orbital launch mount, which was modified by engineers and technicians at Starbase


The Artemis missions are going to take astronauts back to the moon for the first time since Apollo 17. Check out the SLS rocket itโs going to launch on. This is what our country is capable of when we work together.
