A letter from Jan 30, 2026

Hope you're reading this at an EVEN better time in your life. The past 6 months have been wild to say the least, October I felt like i was at the bottom of the hill dealing with getting my mental health back on the right path. With some patience, and some therapy I feel like things have been on the up for the last 2 months. Was dating alot but took a little reset and it was a nice break from the monotony of it all and now it feels a but more fun. Ran 2 (official) half marathons and am constantly running 20 miles per week with long runs being 10-14 miles, hoping to zone in even more and make 15/16 miles a normal weekly thing, full marathon in 79 days. Today I received my largest check so far of 60K (35K after tax) from Altruist. Im hoping soon this will be a normal occurrence as Dimz and I are 2 weeks into High West Partners. This new venture is what I've been hoping for for the last few years and now that I'm in it, it feels a bit scary. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all of the nuances and knowledge in this industry and want to make sure I'm bringing value to the table, its pretty confusing but I trust that by the time I'm reading this all of this will be second nature and the fund is rolling in business. Im also trying to walk the right rope of both jobs at once, I'm a bit bummed that I need to leave Altruist given that its been one of my favorite jobs and i've just been promoted to sales executive meaning ill be earning more and traveling more, but I think that feeling mainly comes from being happy with constants rather then embracing change, this is the path I want and need to go down to have the life I want for me and for my family. This next 6 months will be the most pivotal time in my life. You now have something to lock in for, you've always wanted something to lock in to and have said "but I don't know what" well this is it, Period, make this ****** happen. Current net worth (before this check) is around 205K. Hope you're well brother <3
