Had a fun chat with Business Insider about my social media business and what my plans are with @ForteSeries

The @IrisFinanceCo team is shipping innovation at crazy speeds. Fin is awesome 👏🏼

Hair isn't "random". It never was. Hair culture has been shaped by war, rebellion and culture since the 1920s. I went down the rabbit hole and broke down everything that caused hairstyles to shift, until now. Watch the full history breakdown: youtu.be/gKprsor8Hjc

I think about this clip when I catch myself being negative, and quickly snap out of it.

@isumantadas Did you win from the comments and send me an email?

@AlexCosta Dear Alex, Happy New Year! I would like to kindly remind you that I am still waiting for the Forte Series hair care product as a gift.

Strong start to 2026 in the Maldives. Bucket list location crossed off ☑️

Posted a video about how war and rebellion shaped your hairstyle today. Here's 100 yrs of men's hair history. Enjoy: yt.openinapp.co/cd6sh

Rubbed the water bottle and this happened 🧞‍♂️ what should I ask for

Book that trip. Focus on your body and clear your mind. Then come back ready to attack.

Outdoor gym in the Maldives. What else does a man need?

why not just raise income tax rates? because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”. you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens. you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.) the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen. the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure. it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking. that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all. i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%. want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes. want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

@chamath I just want to know which wine bottle you popped open to celebrate the big win

Congrats ⁦@LandoNorris⁩ 🏆 well deserved

There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in this industry. It’s easy to feel like you’re missing something. You’re not. Most brands and creators are figuring it out on the fly just like you

Family trip

What men’s workout apparel brands do you wear?

@drewfallon12 Emily is obsessed with this brand

ADANOLA REPORTS 2025 FINANCIALS, REVENUE PASSES $100m Adanola is a DTC athleisure brand in the UK that caught headlines earlier this year when it caught a $530m valuation from Story3 Capital, and they just took down the kimono on 2025 results let's break it down👇

I love our packaging at @ForteSeries. We’re constantly making small adjustments to prefect it. What product packaging caught your eye recently?

December 1st. Last month of the year. This is where most people slow down and undo all the progress they built. Holidays hit, routines disappear, discipline drops, and January feels like starting from zero. Sure, take days off. Enjoy your family. Eat good food. Just keep it all in moderation so you don’t set yourself back. Finish the year with INTENTION!

@andruyeung FlyFish Club is great. They have a private omakase room too

What is the nicest private dining room in NYC? Fits 16 people, <$400 pp, quiet, classy & has a menu that leaves people talking about it for weeks after.
