If you’re not practicing and sacrificing to build the future you want now, what’s the extra stack really doing for you? I cook part-time from home to invest in my kids—stacking less there. I buy from farmers, ranchers, and local grocers—stacking less there. I spend far too much of my spare time tending my hobby vineyard, buying grapes, and making wine every year—stacking less there too.

But that’s the point.

Stacking isn’t just about accumulation. It’s about intention. I’m building a life with flavor, with legacy, with hands in the soil. You don’t hedge against the future by hoarding—you shape it by living deliberately. Build today for tomorrow by building.
