Welcome Anons and Happy Sunday
There is nothing more that I love more than the Migos.
Not the new age Migos that most suburban white kids know today but the ones that were gritty and still hungry on the come up. There is nothing better than the memory of bumping No Label 2 pulling up to my high school parking lot drowning in the skewed confidence of rap music.
Growing up, I learned to be very observant and started noticing patterns that people would not. I would notice the little things that were going on in my home life that other, more well-off kids, did not have going on. It fueled me.
Having no father figure or really any kind of role model around always felt like a burden. Even today, when the topic of childhood comes up or I just try to find common ground with people, I side more with having almost nothing in common with most people.
Finding the Jungle has been a saving grace for me.
I knew from a very young age that I always wanted to be rich. I knew one person my entire childhood who had got filthy rich through selling a business and always deemed him as the person I wanted to emulate my life after (from a business perspective, everything else I will take a hard pass on).
Through this side of the web, I am learning what is possible with the right amount of tenacity and focus. From a financial perspective, we are well on our way to making it but just getting rich is not the point. What we are after is the whole package, to be at the peak of existence, the proverbial — Handsome AND Wealthy.
Being a single guy in a large city has its perks. I answer to absolutely no one in regard to how I spend my time. I have the complete luxury to go absolutely autismo on things that I deem important, I have the freedom to fail, and the ability to work and hone skills that will help me in the future. I am preparing for the Male Advantage, the time when I am well-aged, money is right, and society sees me as “having my shit together”.
One thing I battle with though is this greater sense of being jaded towards the way society treated me as I was on this journey to the Male Advantage. Being ridiculed, ignored, and not being taken seriously was a driver for me up to this point but it came with a cost of feeling as though no matter what I am doing I was not doing enough.
There truly is a mental cost that weighs on you thinking the way I have for as long as I have. This journey will be well worth it but finding peace within myself will be what comes out the other side. For now, we push the soft shit out the way and run over obstacles like we are Marshawn Lynch.
I am not rich yet but I know I will do anything to make it happen.
The idea that “rich people are bad” and “being rich won’t make you happy” was a total psyops created by lazy people who failed to realize the assignment.
The goal is, and always will be, to live a great all-around life. Focusing on the four pillars that build the home that is called your life gives you the highest probability of doing so(Health, Wealth, Love, and Personal Happiness).
Have money, have a good relationship with your family/friends, and be healthy. The only way you do this (at least in my head) is if you are intentional with the things you say and do on a daily basis.
The things you do daily make or break the direction your life heads in. The best part about that is that you have the power to steer it.
Handsome & Wealthy; Rich > Famous
Anons. It is imperative that we morph ourselves into the Chads (and Stacys) that this world needs. Degen Island is calling for a society with people that are in shape, create a life on our own terms, and take no shit from bullies.
I got some pretty awesome feedback on the direction I should take this substack and have been brewing some ideas in my head. It will probably morph from time to time so bear with me, this is a work in progress.
With that being said I will from time to time just spew the thoughts going on in my autistic brain on this digital canvas and let you all have at it with my mind. I like to write in ways that make you feel like you are having a conversation with me.
Go get your bag and run through the noise like a bat out of hell. We are not getting any younger and the time is going to pass so why not.
Get after it today. No Label, No VC, just work.
And next time you listen to the Migos, just know that Grappler is out there somewhere doing the same thing.
Building Brands - Updates
Grapplers Graveyard will be launching its first consumable product within the next month (hopefully) — soon the e-com store will be available for you all to check out!
I cannot wait for what is to come!
Thanks for being here! Happy Sunday
