Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where truth, growth, and real connection collide.

Today’s topic?
Following up after one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever shared.

If you watched the Dealmaker Documentary premiere, thank you.
Seriously. That meant the world to me.

There’s so much junk floating around online, and it’s tough to know who’s real anymore.
So the fact that you took time out of your day to tune in? That matters.

If life got in the way (I know how it goes), the replay is still up.

4 Thoughts I’ve Been Sitting With

1. Time is the most valuable thing we’ve got.
   If you used yours to learn something that can build your future, you’re already winning.

2. Most people won’t do what you just did.
   They’ll keep scrolling, guessing, and hoping. You didn’t. You showed up.

3. Truth isn’t always sexy.
   But it’s what creates real breakthroughs. That’s why I told the whole story.

4. Everyone says they want more—but few are willing to face what it actually takes.
   If you’re still reading this, I know which camp you’re in.

4 Lessons I Hope Landed

1. Wealth isn’t just cash.
   It’s control. Peace. Ownership over your time and future.

2. Playing the long game is the real shortcut.
   If you can zoom out, stay patient, and keep building, everything changes.

3. Most advice out there is noise.
   The stuff I shared in the doc? It’s the blueprint I still use today.

4. You don’t need to do more.
   You need to do what matters. That’s what moves the needle.

4 Challenges for You This Week

1. Watch the replay again.
   You’ll catch something you missed. I promise.

2. Share it with someone who needs it.
   Not someone who “likes business.” Someone who’s ready to stop playing small.

3. Write down the moment that hit you hardest.
   Whatever it was, there’s a message there for you. Don’t ignore it.

4. Hit reply and tell me what stood out.
   Good or bad. I want to hear it.

I poured everything into this documentary.
The good, the hard, the wins, the mistakes.

And I made it for people like you. Builders. Dreamers. Real entrepreneurs ready to play for something bigger.

I appreciate you more than you know.
Let’s keep building.
