I’m having such an incredible time here in Madeira. I’ve been working out every day, eating lots of delicious meat, fish and vegetables and doing 100 pushups a day to $100K. I have rarely travelled to Bitcoin/Nostr events but that’s about to change. It’s so great to be surrounded by Bitcoiners. I’m actually coming back from this trip in better shape mentally and physically. I’ve lost 3 lbs of fat while I’ve been here for 8 days and I’ve been waking up at 5-6 am. I’ve gotten so many positive messages from people I met for the first time at the conference and side events, surprisingly many even listen to my podcast 😅 I’m going to record an episode for the first time in 5 months tomorrow with @PABLOF7z who really surprised me when he said he was a fan of my pod and encouraged me to record again 😀 Some exciting belly to belly things happening here with FREE Madeira, Sovereign Engineering, lots of bitcoin folks have moved here, and it’s no wonder why. Plus what a great location it was for the Bitcoin Film Festival & the Startup Pitch Fest which I got to participate in! I’m lucky to be in a position to have such a close proximity to people like @Samson Mow and @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 who I consider close friends and advisors as well as co-investors in great bitcoin companies. Also got some great 1 on 1 time with people I look up to a lot like @preston who gave me a great framework of thinking about how to be a good leader and focus on delegation and taking responsibility. A great cliff side sunset walk with @UNCLE ROCKSTAR which I’ll never forget, and a protein packed Damus BBQ with @jb55 and his family & friends discussing webs of trust and nostr redaction. I got a great sauna session in with @miljan and his son Marko discussing overcoming fears and limiting beliefs, health and the future. I have missed many opportunities and offers in the past couple of years because I had a “ceiling of complexity” … but because of my new daily health & mental level-up routine, i am choosing @Jeff Booth's PICNUF framework to focus on the positive. I also hired a coach, Dan Martell, and I’m fired up! I was talking to Aleks Svetski and he said he could feel my shifted energy 😀 I’m going to build a team and build my citadel (figuratively for now) and be more proactive about expanding my impact to help lift up my community, my family and as many startup founders and bitcoin culture contributors that I can. I went through a thought exercise in January- if BTC was at $1 million tomorrow, would I be able to build an actual citadel? The answer was no. So I’ve been making big changes in my life to make sure I am the person who can building a citadel one day. Who can? Brad Mills Can 😀 I also got a chance to briefly shake hands with (but not yet spend any time with) @Michael Saylor and @jack who have inspired me greatly over the last few years. Saylor’s “cheerful and constructive” message has been in the back of my mind as a self correcting mechanism for how I interact with bitcoin critics and shitcoiners. Jacks commitment to right the karmic scales and be a net positive for freedom and free speech has inspired me to invest in many educational and bitcoin tech companies in Africa and Latin America - which surprisingly, Jack followed on to 2 or 3 of them in later rounds, showing I am on to something with my investing strategy. I shook hands with and/or hugged and spent time with or broke bread with many many awesome people, and a bunch I wish I got to spend more time with. I have a massive list of selfies with beautiful people and notes on the exciting things they are doing. I’m going to start going to more of these events so I can develop closer relationships with all of you who are my tribe! Excited to also be spending time with my wife and daughter while I’m here, because my wife is Portuguese and I’d love for us to get passports! Thought I would share my positive thoughts as I’m driving to the west side of the island to see 15 foot waves 🌊

100 Pushups A Day Til $100K has evolved into me being committed to making not only financial all time highs with the inevitability of Bitcoin, but also committing to get into the best physical shape of my life. Coming back from Bitcoin Atlantis after a 12 day workation, I’m going to be in the best shape of my life. I’m making cycle lows in bodyweight and bodyfat %. When BTC is at $150K I will to have added 5-8 lbs muscle mass. 1800 - 2000 cals a day, 175 G protein a day (thanks to @HODL for that tip.) Join the push up challenge 💪

Got the Nostr crew hooked on Bitcoin Trading Cards in Portugal 💪

$65K is a good feeling. @Samson Mow and I decided to help contribute to pumping up the price with pumpjack pushups in Portugal. 100 Pushups a day to $100K ✅

I’ve got laser-eyes for 100 Pushups To $100K. Yesterday during the push up challenge in Madeira, I beat my previous person best of 46 pushups in a row by 10! 56 in one set 💪 100 in one set is within my sights now.

Someone give @UNCLE ROCKSTAR a beard

On the walk from the hotel to the Bitcoin Atlantis venue in Madeira.

What a great turnout for @Lyn Alden @Michael Saylor @preston and Larry Lepard at Bitcoin Atlantis.

Congrats to the King of Atlantis and his dad @jb55 for winning the Bitcoin Atlantis Startup Challenge.

Dandy room at Bitcoin Atlantis at the Savoy Palace. It has 3 bathrooms! We should do a group afterparty cleanse together! 45 pushups in 1 set today, new PB!

Check out this track @reelrichard just released. I’ve collabed with him on this, it turned out 🔥

I overshot yesterday and did 185 pushups. 27 days down 💪

I decided to get rid of the “living under a bridge” look and go for the “building a citadel” look. Thanks to Joao for the wonderful cut and beard trim.

I was operating from FEAR. Fear of missing out. Fear of the government. Fear of wasting sats. Fear of failing as a father. Fear of leading. I have strong hands that were forged in the fires of financial tectonics. I’ve been slumbering, telling myself I’ve been practicing stoicism & delayed gratification, conserving energy. The time for sitting on my hands is coming to an end, we are entering the 5th epoch of Bitcoin. Bitcoin will awaken giants, but who among us will actually build a citadel? Are you ready to build your citadel? Building your citadel is about being a leader, a provider, a positive force for your friends, family & community. Holding and sitting on your hands is not building the skills required to build a citadel and operate it to help the maximum amount of people around you. I’m ready to level up, I’m preparing my body and mind. 100 Pushups a day to $100K was a great simple nudge to show me I had work to do. Now I’m setting goals and gaining momentum. I’m not sure where my ceiling is but I’m excited to find out.

$50 sat tip bounty to the person who find me the closest a AI Executive Assistant tool that does the following: calendar management: -integrates with Google and Apple calendar to be able to create events in free time spaces -communicate autonomously (via my simple command) with meeting attendees via email, text, telegram, WhatsApp to coordinate meeting times and put them in the calendar and send invites -able to act on requests to reschedule and adjust calendar appropriately Goal setting: -able to use a vivid vision / achievement framework to help set goals, personal and business. -Helps chunk goals into tasks. -Chunks tasks into micro tasks. -knows who should do the task if it’s not me, can adjust the person responsible. Task Management: -keep track of micro tasks (Trello, reminders app, etc) and nudges me or the team member responsible via email, phone calls, tweets, text messages etc to remind me about important tasks that need completing. -Asks me “Did you do x” and updates the project Managment system accordingly (Trello, etc) -able to respond to replies in these conversions, takes no bullshit. Meeting summarization: -joins meetings and summarizes them. Integrated with Google docs or Apple notes to create organized note entry on appropriate document related to the company the meeting was with.

I’ve accidentally restricted myself complete from using the Twitter app. I guess I’ll be using Damus more 😅

Has anyone created an AI executive assistant that manages your calendar by coordinating meetings through chatting on various platforms like email/telegram etc, and summarizes meetings?

What is your favorite sleep app?

My daughter and I often go to the coffee shop and play Pokemon. She’s gotten much better at the strategy behind the game and often whoops me. Is there any sort of advanced deck I can purchase that would teach her more strategic thinking ?
