If you screw up this one life decision... It can hurt your financial future. 👉 Talk about money with your partner👈 Managing your money solo is hard enough. But managing joint finances... • How much you save & invest • How much house you can afford • How you spend your monthly income • How you plan for life in your later years • How you navigate big financial decisions The list goes on and on. Make sure you talk about these things. Money problems are a leading cause of divorce. But idk if these are "money problems" They are "communication problems" 🗣 Here's my advice: ✅ Talk about money with your partner ✅ Schedule weekly money dates ✅ Get + stay on the same page This is massively underrated for a happier financial life.

I left my 9-5 about 30 months ago. 𝗠𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁? 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. Instead of: Playing it safe Figuring it out later Putting off a financial plan Thinking financial freedom is a pipe dream I started planning my exit 15 years ago. Here’s how I did it: - Worked for equity compensation—maximized my earning potential beyond just salary - Invested in assets that pay me—built income streams to replace my paycheck - Built my portfolio as a business—structured it like a CEO, not a hobbyist -Protected and grew my wealth—used proven systems to scale, not just save It all started with a 10-year vision. 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗷𝗼𝗯—𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. My W2 was a tool, not a trap.

And it took me straight back... Back to when I was knocking on the doors of elite wealth managers after my first IPO. Thinking: “𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀.” But what they offered wasn’t what I needed. Most of it was some version of: ✔️ Draw it down ✔️ Wind it down ✔️ Hope it lasts 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. I wasn’t trying to coast into retirement. I wanted to build 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 the wealth. Something structured. Something lasting. A legacy play, not a lifestyle drawdown. That’s why I built 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗢𝗽𝘀—an operating system to run a Micro Family Office for $1M–$30M net worth founders. Because the traditional model wasn’t made for creators. It was made for preservation, not innovation. And building alone? That’s heavy. But building with others? That’s when things take off. I write about the journey—real-time—over on Substack.

She had Meta stock. She didn’t have a money strategy. She was a Senior Director at Meta. Pulling in a strong salary. Equity-rich. On paper—crushing it. But her wealth? Scattered. Unclear. Exposed. Too much in a single stock. Too many opinions flying in from podcasts, Reddit, coworkers. No real strategy. Just motion. She was making money. But not managing it. And that’s a problem no paycheck can fix. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗽𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆. She wrote her legacy statement. Defined her mission and vision. Mapped exactly what her wealth was 𝗳𝗼𝗿.

Corporate gave me a title. Taking control gave me freedom. I sat on the sidelines, laptop open. Emails. Project Deadlines. Meetings. The company was growing fast—and so was my stress. I was waking up at 4:30 to stay ahead. Balancing a young family, a hyper-growth role... …and a portfolio I barely looked at. And that’s when it hit me: 💡 𝗠𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀. - I was exhausted. Frustrated. - Grinding to build someone else’s dream… - While my wealth sat idle in the background. Not because I didn’t care. But because it was a side project. A “someday” priority. Until one Saturday in 2013, I was answering emails while watching my sons play. That’s when everything shifted. 👉 𝗦𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 -> 𝗶𝗳 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 -> 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁.

Everyone wants a bigger portfolio. Few think like a Family Office. Most people build wealth.   Very few learn how to manage it well.   And almost no one talks about it. But they should. I sat down with Ronald Diamond —  A guy managing wealth at a scale most people never touch.   While I manage a Micro Family Office ($1M - $30M),   He’s working with 9-figure portfolios. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. No fluff. No recycled tweets.   Just hard-earned frameworks.   From someone who’s been there. And it reminded me: If I want to grow, I have to learn 𝘂𝗽𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱  I need to listen more than I speak.   To stretch my thinking with people playing a bigger game. This week’s podcast was exactly that. 🎧 Listen @ Managing Tech Millions Link 👇

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀👇 I came into wealth feeling one thing: Lost. Not because I lacked drive. But because I didn’t know who to trust. Everyone had advice. Hot takes. Quick wins. But none of it felt right. So I studied the people who 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 about wealth—they 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 in it. Found someone who’d been there. Studied how the ultra-wealthy think. Single Family Offices. Generational strategies. Then built my own Micro Family Office. That became WealthOps—an operating system for long-term control. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻? You don’t need to guess your way forward. You can study your way there. 🧠 Here are some lessons I learned in this article: “𝟱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆” → Link in comments.

Emotional investing drained me. Intentional learning empowered me. 𝗜𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟮, 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝟵𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸. Every day felt like emotional whiplash—up, down, panic, relief. But mostly? - I felt trapped. - I wasn’t investing. - I was reacting. And I didn’t know what to do next. Here’s what I’ve learned in the 13 years since then: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁. I͟t͟ ͟w͟a͟s͟ ͟n͟o͟t͟ ͟k͟n͟o͟w͟i͟n͟g͟ ͟w͟h͟a͟t͟ ͟I͟ ͟d͟i͟d͟n͟’͟t͟ ͟k͟n͟o͟w͟.͟ ͟ So instead of making a move, I made a plan. 𝗜 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, here’s how you can do the same: 𝟭. 𝗦𝗵𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲. - Mute the market headlines. - Stop doom-scrolling. - You can’t make smart decisions when you’re surrounded by stress. 𝟮. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝘂𝘁—𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲. - Don’t rush to sell. - Just give yourself room to think clearly. 𝟯. 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄. - For me, it was tax strategy. - For you, it might be creating a divestiture plan, or understanding your concentration risk. 𝟰. 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻. - Choose a single area where you need more clarity, and start there. 𝟱. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. - The fastest way forward is borrowing wisdom from someone who’s already done it. - Ask questions. - Get real-world answers. You don’t need to move fast—you need to move intelligently. That’s why I write Managing Tech Millions. A weekly newsletter helping tech professionals confidently make better money decisions.

I wanted to sell everything. It was 2008. The market was tanking. Every instinct screamed: 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁. 𝗡𝗼𝘄. But I paused. And I asked myself: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘁 𝗱𝗼? That question changed everything. Not because I suddenly knew the future. But because it gave me something stronger than panic: 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲. Buffett wasn’t selling. He was calm. Clear. Focused on executing a long-term strategy. While everyone else was reacting emotionally, he was thinking rationally. And that helped me stay in. I didn’t sell. My portfolio recovered. And I learned something I still carry today: 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁. 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻. Since then, I’ve diversified beyond the market—real estate, hard assets, multiple income streams. But one thing hasn’t changed: When the market shakes, I still ask... 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼? Here’s what he recommends—in any downturn or volatile market: 👇 🧠 What Warren Buffett Recommends in a Down Market 1. 𝗕𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 Don’t react emotionally. Stick to your long game. Remember: “𝗕𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹.” 𝟮. 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Making moves out of fear often leads to regret. Zoom out. 𝟯. 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 Cash isn’t trash—it’s your opportunity fund and how you weather the storm. 𝟰. 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗢𝘄𝗻 If the market closed for 5 years, would you still want to own it? 𝟱. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Look for strong businesses with real cash flow, strong brands, and long-term moats. Buy them on sale. 𝟲. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 Downturns are not a time to panic—they’re a time to shop (for good companies). 𝟳. 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 Downturns don’t last. Great companies do. These principles helped me then. They guide me now.

Hustle builds income. Systems build freedom. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻. I was making $500K a year. From the outside, everything looked great. But inside?

I was doing “all the right things.” But I still didn’t feel any closer to financial freedom. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲: 𝗪-𝟮 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 ≠ 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. I wasn’t building wealth. I was maintaining momentum. I was in the grind and hustle daily. Grinding felt productive—but it wasn’t strategic. I had no clear plan, just motion. And motion without a mission? It burns you out. 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲. Managing wealth is a business. Most people treat it like a side project—or worse, a hobby. But once I started leading my money like a CEO, everything changed.

How to "retire" before 50 The new financial freedom path: ❌ Instead of waiting 40 years to enjoy life ✅ You start enjoying it right out of school ❌ Instead of a career at 1-2 companies ✅ You work wherever opportunities are ❌ Instead of trading your time for salary ✅ You trade rare & valuable skills for equity ❌ Instead of stuffing all your $$ in a 401(k) ✅ You buy assets that create cash flow ❌ Instead of needing $3M in the bank ✅ You need $10k-15k in monthly cash flow ❌ Instead of retiring to the beach forever ✅ You "retire" early to build impact projects -- Most people in #tech don't want to retire. They want the option to no longer work for a W2 paycheck. - More flexibility - More freedom - More options This is the new path. Do you think you'll ever retire? 💸 I have a few openings left in my masterclass next week! Link 👇
