I'm hiring an Executive Assistant and paying a competitive salary. This will be an important role in supporting my Bitcoin, entrepreneurial & personal adventures with dozens of projects across various industries from venture capital to video games to non-profit work. I’m not an organized person by nature, I’m a “move fast break things” type of person. I’ve been very successful as part of a bootstrapped team and also as a lone wolf, relying on both my instincts and my long term convictions to create success. I’m a connector and my super power is seeing the future. I need to find my very own Alfred who loves to create order from chaos & doesn’t mind giving me advice when I need it. Someone who loves meticulously architecting, priority sorting, crafting & maintaining to do list while interfacing with many people to keep projects moving forward. I have a lot of passion projects on the go, including: Fitness: I started a challenge to get abs and learn calisthenics! My goal is 165 lbs, 10% bodyfat & to eventually learn to be a calisthenics master. I’ve hired multiple coaches to help me get to this goal, and I’ve been exercising every single day, and eating clean. I hired a full time meal prep person and have been building a solid team of exercise friends. I’m committed to a new lifestyle of fitness. Family: I want to spend as much time as I can doing relationship strengthening & fun activities with my wife & daughter like travelling, sports & hobbies. I also want to influence and encourage my extended family towards healthy habits & financial literacy. Learning: I have conviction in my beliefs but I spend as much time as I can learning new skills, I’m a life long learner. I’m open-minded, coachable and flexible. Currently focused on learning about my own limiting beliefs & developing a new way of thinking to live a happier, healthier life. I’ve also invested in multiple business & mindset coaches to make me a better leader & life a more frictionless life. Film: I was recently the executive producer of my sister’s award winning environmental documentary (which we finished with Bitcoin) & I'm producing/helping with multiple Bitcoin documentaries. I'm starting a film production company where we will be developing more educational documentaries as well as comedy films. Podcast, Speaking, Events & Coaching: I run a Bitcoin education podcast & coach dozens of people on Bitcoin. I want to level up the events I do. I’m also a speaker at Bitcoin conferences & I am ramping up my media production team to create more educational content for social media that I'm passionate about. Writing/Book: I’ve written a lot on financial markets, banking & money. I’ve got a first draft of a non-fiction book on financial literacy education and Bitcoin over the last few years, as well as working on a fiction book recently. Advising: I’ve joined the advisory board / board of directors of a handful of companies and political groups including founding the Bitcoin Coalition of Canada, a non-profit aimed at educating policymakers and journalists in Canada about Bitcoin.. Investing: I’m a seed investor in dozens of Bitcoin startups, investing alongside prolific investors like @jack & others, with a focus on investing in entrepreneurs globally in Africa & Latin America. I plan to start a fund & raise money to support early stage bitcoin entrepreneurs building bitcoin & bitcoin adjacent companies on bitcoin layers globally. Charity & Philanthropy: As I mentioned, I started a non-profit in Canada to help increase financial literacy. I’m raising for the non-profit while also supporting multiple financial education non-profits internationally as well as donate to dozens of global groups supporting human rights & fighting financial oppression globally. I also donate to local initiatives & desire to show up more in the local communities where I spend time. Real Estate: I own an AirBnB that my mom runs, we plan to continue doing AirBnB projects, which require some attention now and then. Travel & Lifestyle: Since my wife is Portuguese, we're interested in getting citizenship, buying property & starting a business in Portugal. We want to start taking more trips to other interesting countries, including family trips to places like Iceland, Jamaica, Japan & El Salvador. I want to mix my fitness & bitcoin education goals with this trips to make sure I’m also maximizing the opportunity to educate, speak & do podcasts in other countries when I visit. Fun: I love to play video games, D&D, watch movies in the theatre, listen to comedy & play sports. I love to ski, surf & try new things. I desire to integrate more fun activities into my life in a healthy way to make sure it also fits in with my family & life goals. With all of these projects plus more continually being evaluated, you can image my inbox & calendar is in need of someone to help wrangle everything and unlock hidden value that I have not had the time to even read. This role is not just about administrative tasks; it's about becoming a key partner in achieving strategic business and personal growth goals.  Our journey will be one of continuous growth and organizational structuring. I’m looking for an EA who will be pivotal in helping me level up in all areas of life. If you know someone that sounds qualified, please send them to bradmills.ca/careers and have them apply. Please share this post with anyone who you think might be qualified to join me.

PSA: @OpenSecret PWA version does not work in lockdown mode as it disables webassembly. I had lockdown mode on for 4 weeks as I was kinda stress testing Mutiny to see if I’d lose my funds leaving it on so long. After turning lockdown mode off 1 month later, everything was fine. No errors, no forced channel closes etc.

Does anyone use the Bitkey? What’s the best use case for it?

Day 1 of the Canadian Bitcoin Conference in Montreal. Started it off right, went to bed early last night, up at 5 for a 630 gym session. Plate @PLATE LICKING PLEB paid for our day pass like the great guy he is. @Tahini’s wants me to stay up later tonight to hang out with everyone … I kinda want to but I’m also enjoying my early routine! What do!? image

I’m on day 14 of the 16 day cleanse I started. It’s about 900-1200 calories a day, mostly raw vegetables and black coffee 😂 No salt, seasonings or sauces. Lots of dry salad, lots of grapefruit and 4-5 eggs a day. I went through the full emotional rollercoaster doing this, I woke up depressed one morning about 6 days in. “Why the hell am I doing this!?” I am working out 7 days a week as well, lifting weights and doing HIIT and yoga. I almost passed out multiple times at the gym in the first week, but my body has adapted and I’m even making rep gains on the cleanse. This was more of a mental challenge than a health challenge. 2 days left and I’m starting to see abs which is kind of mind blowing to me … I never thought I would have defined abs. I thought I had too much stomach fat. In 2010 I started exercising for the first time in my life and did P90X 3 times in a row and lost 40-50 lbs, that was my peak fitness level around 160 lbs. Over the last decade I yo-yo’d up and down between 190-165, mostly sitting around 175-180 … gaining weight then losing it to make sure I never got back to my peak fatness. I’m about to surpass my peak fitness level now at 41, and it feels surreal. The next 3 mths is a muscle building phase. My goal body is within reach. Proof of work 💪

Stay humble. Stack Sats. Such a great mantra. When it comes to wealth preservation and Bitcoin in general, your ego can be a major hindrance - my goal is: 1) to understand what is the best way to preserve and grow my personal net worth so I can have a life of abundance, success and love that I don’t have to ‘retire’ from. 2) to understand bitcoin and why it is the key to the above. 3) to acquire as much bitcoin as I possibly can while staying in consensus with my desires to help others. 4) to live a life of expanding authentic creation, using bitcoin as an abundance amplifier, inspiring others around me to do the same. If you discover this path, your ego has no place. There’s no need to get even, get invited, get offended, get noticed, get praised, get pissed, or any other “get” based things the ego is so good at. When you understand bitcoin, and understand what your unique superpower/ability is … the thing that gives you purpose, and doesn’t feel like work … the ego is not required at all. You must tame the ego, because it will try to take control. Stay Humble. Stack Sats.

Day 64 of #1002100K Yesterday I went to grab a coffee with a fitness coach friend. He’s very fit. The owner of the coffee shop said to me “you look very unique, you must be a hockey player or a boxer!” WOW what a confidence boost that was. She said I had the shoulders of a boxer. Probably was the coat I was wearing, but still - I probably wouldn’t have gotten that compliment if not for doing 100 pushups a day to $100K! Join us! image

I feel closer to tapping into the energy of inevitability … what does it mean to be powered by bitcoin? No setbacks, moving forward every 10 minutes. Producing value, slowly converting energy into wealth for the next 100 years, attracting more allies daily, operating on a system of optimized rules that are superior to anything before. Not just unstoppable but unaware of the concept of stopping because it’s not in the ruleset. Failure is literally not an option if you’re powered by bitcoin energy.

Going to the movies is tough when you’re a food addict trying lower your bodyfat % & your weakness is popcorn with layered butter & dill pickle topping…but I found a solution. I went undercover as a fanny pack fat guy & like a true Ninja, I snuck in a Covert Creami. Pounding peanutbutter protein ice cream during a movie held the popcorn cravings at bay. #NinjaCreami #CovertCreami #CreamiCult #Creami2Dreami

After a long sauna session I realized I was only living at about 3-4 out of 10 of my potential for the last ~4 years. I’m improving every day but I’m not even at 6.15 out of10 yet. It’s exciting to think about what it will be like when I’m living to my full capacity as my 10.0 self, empowered by Bitcoin. I’m going to have so much more fun, create so much more and help so many more people.
