We could all use some stability.
National Debt going into orbit faster than the Artemis mission, a Congress helmed by literally the worst people you’ve ever seen, and new trends in tech reshaping quite literally everything, the world feels a little unsteady right now.
Your money doesn’t have to be.
Welcome back to gold-backed banking. Yes, welcome back. This may seem new, but this is literally how we’ve done it forever. You work hard, you save in something risk off that outpaces inflation, you use your digital wallet and just go live your life.
It’s how we used to do it. And it’s how we still can, too.

What’s a place named Noodles supposed to do in this Gluten-free, no-carb world? Reinvent the way people noodle, of course.

Housed in Walmart, the spiritual home of getting it done, SmartStyle is making it easier to get hair done for the whole family.

Then, check you out.
Stop Donating to the Homeless

The Beginning:
In the figurative garage in 2023, what began as a side project with some friends to explore AI, digital ownership, co-creation and, and autonomous company design quickly became a multi-year, full-time rodeo in brand building, fractional worker herding, venture betting, and giving away all of our money.
I co-founded this project, acted as creative lead, built and managed the team, established a culture, and have been a the managing director for the last three years.
Some Highlights:
-Launched a digital collectibles brand that raised over 3mm USD and had IP valued at 8mm USD.
-Invited our true believers to build a fractionalized workforce company with us.
-Managed 20+ fractional contributors and helped get them all hired FT or founding their own thing.
-3mm USD invested into our community or returned back to true believers.
-Incorporated into a globally touring art and technology show.
-Our art was collected by professional footballers from S. Korea, Parliament members from Japan, and folks from around the world who wanted a network and a chance to build their dream.
