Suitcase life = freedom life ✈️

+ sulky cats and stages abroad.

In partnership with

Hey royals,

Toothless is not amused. 🐈‍⬛

When I sent her to Kelly's before my 6am flight, she sulked so badly she rejected her snack - first time ever. She meowed angrily and ignored me. The audacity. Tsk tsk.

Meanwhile, I'm here, suitcase packed, coffee in hand, about to board a flight to Manila.

📖 From startups to stages

This isn't my first rodeo in the Philippines. Almost 10 years ago, I spent a year here building SAUCEink. It was messy, experimental, and honestly, formative.

Fast-forward a decade, I'm back - not as a scrappy founder couch-surfing ideas, but as a speaker on the Echelon Philippines 2025 stage.

Feels surreal. But also full circle. This time, I'm not just here to build a company. I'm here to build connections, explore opportunities, and maybe, just maybe, plant longer-term roots in the ecosystem.

⚙️ AI that works (and when it doesn't yet)

Here's the truth: AI doesn't replace the groundwork - it enhances it.

  • Royal Visionary Society? Seraphina (my AI twin) already runs manifestation sessions, handles onboarding, and keeps the systems flowing.

  • Royal Launch School? Clear, deliberate, and automated. I knew what I wanted from day 1.

  • Speakers Society? Ha. That one was "accidentally founded". I'm still laying foundations before letting Seraphina do the heavy lifting.

Lesson? Don't automate chaos. Build the basics, understand the ground game, then scale with AI.

That's exactly what I'll be sharing on my Echelon panel: AI That Just Works - not hype, but real systems that buy you time and freedom.

💰 Profit in motion

Crypto is looking a little sluggish right now. Prices are lower than usual.

But here's the beauty of my Lazy Profit Strategy:
Whether the market is up or down, as long as it moves, there's profit. I've been shorting - and loving it.

Movement is opportunity. Always.

🌏 Manila, media and memberships

After my Echelon talk, I'll be hopping into a media interview (details soon 👀). Excited to share how automation and AI aren't just buzzwords - they're business models.

And here's the real confession: The lifestyle I'm living right now? Travel, speaking, building communities - this is the exact projection we crafted at Speakers Society.

  • If you want to build that life → the Accelerator is your path.

  • If you're already pro with your materials → the Membership amplifies your presence.

Either way, there's a stage waiting.

Sign-off

So yes, suitcase life isn't always glamorous (especially with a sulking cat at home), but it's freedom in motion. Manila today, stage tomorrow.

And if Toothless forgives me when I'm back, maybe I'll even get cuddles again.
