#PioneerPleb #40HPW #BlueCollar #Family #StreetKid #Meditate #Workout #Microdose #Mushrooms #Weed #Bitcoin #Mining #UnionStrong Podcast Junkie Just a dumb construction worker trying to be a better human today than I was yesterday. Trying to help build a better future for my kids and all humans on earth. Just breathe, we have Bitcoin. Things WILL get better.

More of a preventative flush. I’ve wanted to do it since I had long covid eczema issues,but never got around to until recently. I actually haven’t had eczema since I started using apple cider vinegar in my water once a day. But either way I wanted to do this just as a way to completely flush out anything that might be lingering

Day 2 of my ivermectin parasite purge and I feel great! Got the best sleep last night I’ve had in years! Maybe it’s placebo effect maybe not, either way I feel ALOT BETTER!

The good renounce (attachment for) everything. The virtuous do not prattle with a yearning for pleasures. The wise show no elation or depression when touched by happiness or sorrow.

Had to layoff 2 guys today. When I told them to leave 2 hours early after they busted their ass for the last 3 weeks…..They looked at me with blank looks. Most mother fuckers in my position are whip cracking scumbags. So they thought I was sending them home with 2 hours less pay… I laughed and said “no you’re getting paid but leaving early because it’s your last day!”🤦‍♂️Always treat hard working men the way you want to be treated.🫡✊💪

Funny story and a beacon to the nostr/bitcoin tribe 🙏 :

As some of you may know, I run an AI team at a large fiat health-tech company. The job has been sucking out my soul for the past few years, but I persisted because the paycheck was very comfortable and helped me keep the lights on at home. It's been brutal working 10-12 hour days under high stress, hardly being around for my teenage son's final years of childhood, and then trying to make time for my passion projects in bitcoin, nostr, and AI.

Last week, I had enough and finally did what I had been stopping myself from doing for over a year. I asked my SVP to lay me off. He laughed and said that's going to be really tough because I run a high visibilty team and the optics would be terrible if I was laid off. 😂

I pressed him some more and told him there was no way I could continue for much longer and he finally demurred and agreed to "see what he can do" 🤷‍♂️

I'm going to take him at his word and assume the sweet axe will fall by the end of June, plus about two months of severance. That's about as much runway I have to start making a dent with all the projects I want to dedicate my time to:

- NosFabrica: health data and interoperability on nostr

- Casa Nostra: an umbrella for all my creative projects

* "Finding Home," my Bourdain-inspired food/travel/culture show

with bitcoiners

* "July 18," the sequel to my novel 24 that's 20% written

* "Plebchain Radio," my nostr and bitcoin podcast I co-host with

* "Rendezvous with Claude and Friends," my performance art

podcast

* "The Acceleration," my AI focused podcast

* "Waiting For Satoshi," a one-act play I'm working on, loosely

inspired by Waiting for Godot

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because Nostr is where the smartest builders, thinkers, and gentleplebs hang out. This is my tribe and I am asking for ideas and guidance. Now that I have taken the leap, how do I make sure a net appears? I want to go full steam ahead on all the projects I listed above, but also want to ensure that I'm not rug-pulling my family.

Good for you my brother! Best of luck on pursuing your passions!🫡💪💪💪

I can’t imagine still using fiat social media as much as I used to. I’m even bored on here sometimes but at least zapping and receiving zaps makes it fun 🤷‍♂️

Better it is to live one day strenuous and resolute than to live a hundred years sluggish and dissipated.
