Last video I did something pretty stupid. You might've already seen it, but maybe not so I'll address it here. There was a clip with the action cam of me test driving a car and going way to fast. Absolutely inexcusable and dangerous.
I've since cut it out of the video with YouTube's editor tool. I also understand that this looks like covering it up, but I think it's the right thing to do.
There's no reason to leave that clip in (there was no reason to include it in the first place) and I would never want to make it seem ok by leaving it in the video. I'm well aware of the Streisand effect, and I know everything on the internet lives forever, but I think that's the best decision right now.
All I can do apologize and promise never to do anything close to that stupid again. That's a terrible example to set and I'm sorry for it.

@venturetwins I will write a check into the company that replaces the DMV with you.

@RealCasinoKing @PokerNews not exactly the same thing, but reminds me of when dylan mulvaney did a brand deal with bud light that caused such an uproar of hate for months and then bud light never made a public statement or even said a WORD to dylan about it

@abbypoker_ you're busy making content and trying to do something interesting and other people are busy talking about what you're doing :)

from my observation she's constantly pumping out content so, ofc not always going to be bangers. trying to come up with constant ideas to feed algorithms and deliverables is really difficult. i think abby does a great job reaching a younger audience...i've actually been surprised at the amount of random people in my life who don't play, have seen her content pop up.
it's easy to criticize people when you're not the one making the content for a living, and as an influencer she's of course opening herself up to said criticism... but the way you're coming at her like this is just giving mean girl.

Sorry but enough is enough. I’ve had to watch insufferable content after insufferable content but THIS!! THIS is fucking embarrassing @abbypoker_ .. do better. Poker deserves more than this garbage “content”.

I thought the reporters traveling with Kamala might be a little lonely given that she never answers questions from them, so I figured I’d come say hello and check out my new plane while I was at it.

JD Vance after physically walking up to Kamala Harris’ plane to ask why she’s hiding from reporters: "Hopefully it's going to be my plane in a few months. I also thought you guys may get lonely, because the VP doesn't answer questions from reporters."

I sold my business for $52,000,000... now what?
One year ago I owned 3 businesses:
- Boutique hotel in downtown St. Louis
- 7-figure e-commerce business
- 150+ person agency
Fast forward today and I've sold all 3.
1. Somewhere[dot]com – May of this year, I sold a controlling stake in Somewhere (formerly Shepherd) at a $52m valuation. I stepped down as CEO and took a $26m payday. I still own ~13% and have a seat on the board as an advisor.
2. Peel – September of last year I sold Peel, the e-commerce brand I’ve owned with my buddy Jon since 2013. It was a very modest acquisition.
3. The Ludwig – In June of this year I sold The Ludwig building, our boutique hotel / mixed use building. We started it in 2017.
Now what?
After divesting of my main 3 businesses, I’m taking time off.
I’m “retired” which means I’m spending more time with my wife and 2 kids, investing more time in forgotten (and new) hobbies, playing with my cars, and tinkering on projects. I’ve always loved writing and sharing lessons learned, so here we are.
It’s been about 3 months since I had my big exit. I’ve bought a few cars, took a bunch of vacations, had a lot of nice dinners and cocktails.. and now life is back to normal again.
What am I doing with the money?
For me entrepreneurship is the “risk” bucket of my investment portfolio. Now that I’ve made money, I’m taking the boring conservative approach and putting it all into index funds and bonds. If I can grow my investments at an average of 8% for the rest of my life, I’ll be very happy
I've made some small real estate and PE investments as well.
What I did to celebrate
I absolutely love cars. Always have. So I indulged and bought a few I’ve had on my list:
1. 993 Generation 911 Carrera S. blue interior with the hardback sport seats.
2. 911 GT3 in PTS British Racing Green with buckets, 6 speed manual, and carbon ceramic brakes. This was my dream color find. It nearly matches Somewhere’s colors.
3. AMG G 63 for Jaimie... but who are we kidding, I drive it a ton too.
I also bought my parents a new car as a THANK YOU.
I took a bunch of trips
- Cabo with my old college roommate
- Colorado Springs with my wife and kids
- North Carolina for 2 weeks (city, mountains, ocean)
- Booked a 2 week trip to Europe with my wife and parents to celebrate my mom's retirement.
Today
I had a lot of fun in the aftermath of the acquisition (I still am!) but it’s time to focus on my health. In my opinion, if you’re rich and have a lot of time on your hands, there’s absolutely no excuse for being unhealthy.
We did a lot of indulging but now I’m going hardcore.
- I’ve been working out with heavy weights 3 days a week in our home gym and eating a much more strict diet. The goal? Get ripped.
- I’m trying to go from 16% body fat to under 13% while packing on more muscle.
- I’m headed to get my blood drawn to get a baseline for a lot of health markers, but mainly checking my testosterone levels. I’m 34 and aiming to increase my T levels naturally.
- I just signed up for a stem cell treatment for my hair. I’m not balding, but my hairline has receded. Apparently stem cells have been proven to reinvigorate dying hair follicles. I’ll report back in 6-12 months with how that worked.
Question for you: what would you like to see me write more about?
