This is my second Boot Camp. The first one was so good and when they said they were gonna go into teaching us about agents I got so excited I signed up before I found out. They gave me a discount for being a returning boot camper, but they just let you know how good it is. I’m here now because I got smart and decided to let somebody take notes for me. That way, I could focus completely on the presentations in the content and sit back and relaxing, and enjoy it, and I take more in that way and have better recall. So I’m gonna end this message and wish everybody a welcome if it’s your first time you’re in the right place and these instructors are a blessing. I’ll go see if the notes are ready. But I’ll keep a lot of patience because otherwise I’d end up being like one of those unemployed doctors! He he he

I’ve had to 2 Mongolian BBQ restaurants.

I worked from the time I was 14 until I retired at 62. After that, I made a decision—I’m not working for anyone else again. For the last 20+ years, I’ve been deep in research—studying sovereignty, American history, and how systems actually work. Over time, I realized I didn’t just want to learn this stuff—I wanted to build something with it. My focus now is creating content around a central theme: awakening and empowering the sovereign individual. A big turning point for me was during my time working in the federal system during COVID. I saw contradictions that didn’t sit right with me, and it pushed me to dig deeper and think for myself instead of just going along with the narrative. That period sharpened my perspective and strengthened my resolve to pursue truth as I understand it. Now I’m at a point in life where I don’t just want to earn—I want to make an impact, and I want to build what I feel led to build. One of the biggest breakthroughs for me recently has been using AI as a “clone” or thinking partner. When you give it real context—who you are, your background, your goals—it stops giving generic answers and starts producing output that actually fits you. Context really is king. I’ve been using AI heavily for content creation—especially to explain complex ideas visually and simply. Before, I had to rely on outside help to bring concepts to life. Now I can describe something and get a solid visual or structured output almost instantly. A big area I’m focused on is monetary systems—how they work, and how they could work differently. For example, I explain it like this: Imagine a table where everyone is bringing real value—time, labor, goods, services. But there are also two “500-pound gorillas” at the table—the government and the banking system—who aren’t bringing real value in the same way, yet they control the system through the currency. Once people see that dynamic clearly—especially through visuals—it clicks. That’s the moment I’m after. My goal is to build content and systems that help people see things differently—and realize there are alternatives.
