Two quiet hours from 5am, five tasks left by 9:30
I do not wake at 5 as a personality. I turn it on when the week is overloaded. This morning that meant new courses to push, clients still running, and a new hire to train. The sauna and steam room were empty. I woke at 5.
Two hours from 5:00 to 7:30 with nobody in them
5:00 to about 7:30 is two or two and a half hours with no interruptions. Then I go to the gym — sometimes 7:00, sometimes 7:30.
I will not tell you that 5am is the only serious time. I do not believe that. If you feel overwhelmed, a short protocol like this gives you a head start. By about 9:00 I had already finished a few tasks, done a few investments, structured the day, answered emails, and completed almost all of the daily habits I want every day. The workout was in. The sauna was next.
By 9:30 the only work left is five daily tasks
By 9:30 the only thing left on the day is five daily tasks. A new staff member starts today. The early block is what makes that possible: I finish the work that cannot be interrupted, then I spend the rest of the day training her.
The courses just went out. Content still has to ship. Clients still exist. The 5am block is how I stay strict on the day-to-day when that pile stacks up. When it does not, I drop the protocol.
Sixteen days off porn after running OnlyFans
I am about 16 days into giving up masturbation and pornography. I have done this stretch before. The trigger this time is the OnlyFans inbox: men paying to sit at home, the messages they send, how fake the industry is. Actresses. Girls who are sick of what they hear. Housekeeping walked in while I was saying this on camera.
I am not running a challenge. The business makes the habit look stupid. I am 16 days in and I feel better.
AirPods in the sauna, phone on the bench, 30 minutes on the Watch
People keep asking how I listen to audiobooks in the sauna. There is no hack. AirPods Pro go in. The phone stays on the bench outside. They play remotely. Cheaper wireless headphones work the same.
The app is Scribd. It has an Apple Watch app. The Watch comes in with me and runs the 30-minute timer — that is how long I stay. I have done this for over a year without killing a device. If you do not want electronics in the heat, set a 30-minute alarm outside and take cheap headphones, or play out loud from the Watch.
I walked out of the sauna very red.
OHM at $105 and capital that would not move
Olympus (OHM) is a DeFi protocol. I called it a Ponzi that morning. That does not mean you cannot make money on one. It had crashed to about $120, then $105. I had $50,000 I wanted in. I could not move it across fast enough.
The thesis I was looking at: OHM is backed by real coins — Ethereum and a treasury of other tokens — so the claim was it cannot print itself to zero. Backing that morning was about $70. Ethereum was down with the rest of the market. They were paying about 40% a month APY. If ETH came back, OHM would follow. I thought there was a decent chance of a bounce toward $200 plus the coupon, because it should not sit far below backing for long.
That is the same problem as the Zero to $1 Million series: capital that is still clearing is not capital. The trade looked obvious and I could not take it.

Morning guys, as always we have the sauna and steam room to ourselves um so I'm just about to hop in there. I woke up at 5 a.m um this morning as well. Like generally I'll implement some type of like protocol if I feel I've got loads of stuff to do or I'm not accomplishing quite as much as I want to, and because we have these like multiple courses that I've just released I'm um like in the process of pushing out content for plus I have the other clients and I've hired some new staff need training um I will generally get a little bit more strict in how I manage my like day-to-day.
So by waking up at 5:00 a.m it just schedules it, gives me about two hours, two and a half hours of sort of uninterrupted time um between 5am to about 7:30, which is then when I'll head off to the gym um sometimes at seven it really depends. And it just, it's not like I don't want to be one of these people who um preaches by like the 5am you must get up at this time so I don't believe that, but if like you're feeling a little bit overwhelmed um I think it can really help to like implement a little protocol like this. You feel that you have a real head start on the day.
And you know it's just about to come up to like 9 a.m I've already completed a few tasks, I've done a few investments, I've structured my day, I've gone back to some like emails and other things um I've completed almost all of my daily habits like I want to complete every day, I've got a workout in, I'm about to jump into the sauna, and by like 9:30 in the morning the only other thing that I have to complete today is my like five daily tasks um I have a new staff member starting today as well so it also helped that I had a couple of hours free in the morning that I can get everything done that I need to do without any interruptions and then I can focus on training her up um during the day.
Another little update as well, slightly personal, but it's definitely like a personal development um thing that I think everyone should try is I think I'm now about 16 days into like a complete of like giving up masturbation and pornography um and I'm feeling quite good. Like I've done this quite a few times before actually um but it's just like essentially from the OnlyFans business, from seeing how sad these guys are and how they message and approach to girls, like and they're just paying money to basically sit at home masturbating, it just completely like turns you off from anything like that and you realize like how fake the whole I don't know the pornography industry is. It's all actresses. Like these girls is like sort of being sick um with like some of the things that the guys are saying to them.
Housekeeping just came in whilst I was talking about porn and masturbation. I didn't want them to get the wrong impression. Um anyway another question that I've been getting quite a lot is how do I listen to audiobooks inside the sauna, and like there's no hack or trick or anything there. I literally just take in AirPods, I take an AirPods Pro. Of course you could use like a cheaper wireless headset if you want. I leave my phone outside like there's this little bench and um and it will play remotely, but there's also the app I use is called Scribd and they have an Apple Watch app. I will take the Apple Watch in into the sauna with me as well and it's how I run like a 30 minute timer which is how long I'll spend in the sauna.
Um today I've never had any issues with it. If you're worried about breaking or harming one of your devices you could just set an alarm outside for 30 minutes and take in some cheaper wireless headphones or you can play out loud from the Apple Watch. But I've for over a year now. Sorry I'm straight out the sauna and very red.
Um there's a little opportunity at the moment with like Olympus or OHM. It's a DeFi protocol. It's quite, it is essentially a Ponzi scheme, but it doesn't mean you can't make money off of a Ponzi scheme, which I think most people forget um. It's basically crashed this morning down to about 120 dollars. Uh in fact it was down at 105 and I had fifty thousand dollars I wanted to put in but I just couldn't move it across quick enough. OHM is actually backed by Ethereum um it has like it's backed by real coins so essentially it can't actually go to zero uh and currently it's backed by about seventy dollars based on the various different coins that they have in the treasury, and Ethereum is down as well as long as various other coins, plus they pay out about 40 percent per month APY.
Essentially as Ethereum starts to come back up, because the whole market is down, OHM will automatically follow with it because again it's backed by these tokens so it can't actually fall below it and it just follows the market same as every other crypto. So I think there's quite a high chance of this um bouncing back up to about two hundred dollars plus you will also get your 40 percent interest because it technically can't go much lower than this. So if you're liquid and have some capital, something worth looking into. I'm thinking of moving about 50k into it. And also on part of the Zero to One Million Dollar series um this is one reason that I wish that my money was clearing faster because there's opportunities like this as well presenting themselves which for me are a little bit of a no-brainer um which I'm unfortunately unable to take advantage of. Anyway just something worth
