38 few controversial things I believe:

1) I hope my kids don’t go through a hip hop / rap music phase like I did. That stuff is garbage for the mind.

2) Holding your boys back in school is really important. Also getting your kids braces. People really disagree with me on this and it doesn’t make any sense.

3) Chipotle is good again, I like it. It sucked for a while.

4) Stocks are gonna drop over next 6 months.

5) Rates are going to drop over next 6 months.

6) Once your friends kids get into sports, you will see your friends a lot less.

7) The south in the summer sucks. I need to make more money so I can spend June-August in Colorado.

8) I think Christianity is going to come back hard over the next 20 years.

9) I’m glad DEI and the woke bullshit is dying. I don’t think that stuff helped anybody.

10) Politics is a total waste of mental energy. I will follow very little over next 3 months. I know enough to vote, that is enough for me.

11) Riding a bike is really fun. Adults should do it more often.

12) Being a fit 35 year old gives you a ton of confidence because it is so rare. Worth investing here.

13) A badass wife is such an asset. Mainly one who doesn’t get all worked up about little stuff. I see so many other wives who are a huge pain in the ass because of that one thing and they are tough to live with.

14) Owning a little less of a business or asset is worth it if it means motivating awesome partners to kick ass and make the pie bigger.

15) Not giving a shit what people think about you is hard but something I’ve improved upon. It is a superpower.

16) Business is hard and stressful. It doesn’t get easier, you just make more money the better you get at it.

17) Kids are babies today. Their parents fight every battle and do everything they can to make life easy. I think this is bad. Raises weak, entitled kids who can’t hack it in the real world.

18) For maximum career potential find a growing company with an aggressive owner. More on that here.

19) Having kids is super rewarding. It’s hard but so amazing when you see a mini you do something well or learn. Not enough people value this.

20) The south is a way better place to raise kids. They are more respectful and better communicators. It rubs off on your kids.

21) A sauna was the best investment I’ve made recently. Sleep is 10x better. My setup here.

22) I think people should supplement vitamin D, fish oils and magnesium. No brainer.

23) Getting a colonoscopy at 35 should be the norm for people with a lot to lose. $1500 to check a major killer off your list. It was also insanely easy.

24) Porn lowers sex drive and ruins marriages. Avoid it.

25) Mountain biking sunglasses are better than normal ones. I wear mine all the time.

26) Low cost of living cities are great. I bought a 3,000 sf new build for $289k in 2018 and I still live in it today. Allows for more investing and less stress.

27) I don’t know any mentally stable people who are vegan. I look forward to meeting one someday and changing my mind.

28) A house cleaner is a no brainer $150 a week. Best investment ever.

29) Drive a large vehicle. They are safer. Physics matters. Teslas sit too low.

30) There is nothing better than a golf trip on the schedule to look forward to with good buddies.

31) People need to get married earlier and have kids younger. Too many choices nowadays isn’t good for people. Meet somebody you can trust who doesn’t freak out about small stresses and get married.

32) Nobody is going to give you permission to kick ass and make a lot of money. Actually they don’t want you to do it because it makes them feel bad about themselves.

33) A grown man who makes over $150k a year should never climb a ladder or get on a roof. You can pay somebody $30 an hour to take that risk for you. A fall is a top 10 life risk and can mess up everything. Stupidity.

A few tweets from this week:

Have you ever wanted to estimate how much money you could save in taxes by doing a cost seg study and taking bonus depreciation on your specific property?

Well, now you can. The team at RE Cost Seg built an interactive calculator where you can input the details of your exact deal to find out how much you could potentially save.

About Me

I started the Sweaty Startup in December of 2018 because I believe the Shark Tank and Tech Crunch culture is ruining the real spirit of low-risk entrepreneurship.
