I Help People Secure the Bag
By the Billions

Sometimes I collect jets and produce music.

It started with $1.25

My Story


The bottom

Losing Everything

At twenty I lost everything. Fifty grand in debt, back in my parents' basement, selling phone service door to door through bulletproof glass in a Detroit winter with a hole in one shoe. Some days I didn't eat. Every night I came home and built anyway. Then, past midnight one night, my first commission arrived: $1.25. It was everything.

The build

Building Ringba

Another business died overnight and nobody was coming to save us. In 2015 Harrison and I built Ringba with our own money, no investors, no salary for years, and one mission: leave everybody better off than we found them. Terrible plan. It worked. I know what $1.25 can do for a person. The wall of plaques now starts at a million.

The life

Another Life

Sixty-five countries. Kilimanjaro, winter Rainier, sunrise on Fuji. Dinner at Jiro. Dancing sober at EDC while strangers film me. I collect jets now. I spent twenty years head down, building. I live in Miami, I make music, and my debut album is called Another Life. That is exactly what this is.

“You cannot guarantee you’re the smartest person in the room, but you can guarantee you’re the hardest working.”
