Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where wealth, opportunity, and leverage collide.

I’ve lost everything.
Not once. Twice.

And when I say everything…
I’m not just talking about money.
It was bigger than that.
Deeper.

Most people won’t talk about this stuff.
They’re too busy pretending they’ve got it all figured out.

But I’m telling you the truth in this week’s Making of a DM.
And if you’ve ever wondered what happens after you lose it all…
You need to hear this.
👉 Listen to the episode now.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

  1. What you think is “everything” might not be.
    Sometimes losing is exactly what clears the path for winning.

  2. Hard times aren’t the problem.
    Your perspective on them is.

  3. Nobody’s coming to fix it for you.
    But you’ve got everything you need to fix it yourself.

  4. Rock bottom has a basement.
    But it also has a door—if you’re willing to look for it.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

  1. Starting from zero is a lie.
    You’re never really starting from scratch—unless you let yourself believe you are.

  2. Big challenges require bigger thinking.
    Small thoughts create small solutions. Think bigger.

  3. Focus creates freedom.
    When you lock in on what matters, you’ll be shocked at how fast things can change.

  4. Proximity is power.
    The right rooms will remind you who you are—and what’s possible.

4 Challenges to Tackle This Week

  1. Audit your thoughts.
    Are they moving you forward… or keeping you stuck?

  2. Define what “winning” really looks like for you.
    Most people don’t even know. Figure it out.

  3. Get clear on what you bring to the table.
    Your unique ability might be the thing that changes everything.

  4. Put yourself in a room where people are playing bigger.
