Warrior Philosophy
I love martials arts, especially Muay Thai and BJJ (as they're the most practical). But more than that, I love the philosophy of great warriors, of strategy, of combat. I think it teaches you a lot about your mind, courage, calmness under pressure, and business. I made a channel breaking down the lessons and takeaways from greatest warriors throughout history. I grew it to >40,000 subscribers + 2.4 million views in about 5 months. Would've kept it going but there's not much advertising money in the martial arts space + the UFC kept copyrighting my videos (totally fair, but still annoying), and I needed money.

Ben Stevenson (Personal Channel)
I love self experimentation and trying extreme things. The main videos on my personal channel were me trying successful people's daily routines, and teaching what I learned. I covered people like Mark Zuckerberg, Jordan Peterson, Lex Fridman, Andrew Huberman, Conor McGregor, and more. Grew it to >15,000 subscribers and 2 million views.

Pursuit Of Better [TikTok]
Here, I created short videos about productivity, self improvement, and philosophy. Grew it to 100k followers, the bulk of which came from 1 month when I decided to create 1 video every single day. (note: total followers is now below 100k because I haven't posted in a while).
Other Projects
- The Founders ETF — As a project to teach myself to code, I created an "ETF" (I didn't actually create the ETF, I think you have to be a billion dollar financial company to do that, but I created the grouping) to compare the returns if you invested in companies covered on Founders podcast by David Senra on the day the episode was released, vs investing in the S&P 500.
- The Self Improvement Almanac — Especially in my late teens/early 20s, I was very big into self improvement (if you couldn't tell from my YouTube/TikTok channels.) So I wrote a book about what I learned from all the self improvement books I had read, to make it easier for others to learn the same things.
