@crystalwizard You definitely misinterpreted my post then. My marketing agency helped me generate nearly $2m in sponsorship revenue last year (across YT, IG, newsletter, and speaking/appearances).

Neuralink will start high-volume production of brain-computer interface devices and move to a streamlined, almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026. Device threads will go through the dura, without the need to remove it. This is a big deal.

@jonmorrow Hey Jon. Just read through your post about everything you've been through, and it has truly inspired me to keep moving forward. I'm also quadriplegic. C7-T1 Spinal cord injury. Not too good with talking in public. Would it be okay if I messaged you for some advice?

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: Your excuses are lies you've told yourself so often you believe they're truths. For years, I told myself no girl would ever want me, so why even try to date? Excuses justified loneliness, excuses protected me from the pain of rejection. But the reality? I was just scared—scared of being vulnerable, scared of feeling unwanted, scared of my own worthiness. I decided to challenge my own limiting beliefs. I started asking six women a day to join me for a coffee date. Within 30 days, I'd gone on dozens of dates, had ten women texting 'good morning' daily, and ended up dating a beautiful Southwest flight attendant who fell head over heels in love with me. Stop lying to yourself. Face the truth, drop the excuses, and finally change your life.

Doctors said I would die before I graduated high school. Nobody thought I would go to college. Nobody thought I would ever have a girlfriend. Nobody thought I would even survive. And I realized I had a choice: I could believe they were right, and I would die… … or I could decide for myself what my life could be and maybe, just maybe I could prove everyone wrong. Now I'm 42 years old. I graduated college at the top of my class. I've made millions of dollars from my wheelchair, I get more girls than Leonardo DiCaprio. (Okay, maybe not quite that many.) The point? I don't care how low you are right now. I don't care how many people have given up on you. You can prove everybody wrong. You are the only one who decides your future.
