Heroes &
Role Models
I value good role models. I use these “heroes” pages as a catalogue of the men and women I look up to (and the things they have to teach). They are an easy outlet for my content challenges. And while I don’t necessarily look up to all of them, I am not above learning from any of them.
Ground
What's in a Hero?
not just a savior… in this context, someone to look up to… a role model
The credit card game is a way to think about using credit cards. Players of the game build financial literacy skills while earning rewards. Played well, the credit card game can help you save money, earn free travel, and more—all while increasing your credit score.
What You’ll Find Here
For the time being, this site is mostly just a data dump. Over time, it may become more useful to the outside observer. Who knows?
My Own Research
I am the definition of a know-it-all. Hopefully, someone else can use that to their advantage. These pages are to cataloging my learnings.
Opinions of Same
I am a master of unsolicited advice. Frankly, it’s annoying. An outlet for self-expression, I hope this site will help me become a better listener.
Video Breakdowns
I consume hundreds of hours of video training, keynotes, and other education content. Timestamping content helps me learn and teach others.
G.O.A.T. Rank – My Top Teachers
01
Jordan Peterson
If you ask me, Jordan B. Peterson is probably the most important man or woman on the planet right now. His impact on society will be felt for generations to come. There is probably no one I look up to more than him.
02
Gary Vee
Gary Vaynerchuk is the first man the adult me could acknowledge as a “hero.” Without Gary Vee, my hero profiles might not even exist. Certainly, the whole idea of a G.O.A.T. Rank is a tribute to my admiration for him.
03
Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto is the most inspiring character I’ve ever come across. What I’ve learned from him is unique. And yet, his story seems inevitable, almost perfect. Watching Naruto, I felt as if it was written from my own heart.
04
Jesse Lee Peterson
05
Vishen Lakhiani
Vishen is a visionary leader. His mission of education reform is one of the most important of any of my heroes. Before Jordan Peterson came onto the scene, he was my favorite for the top spot over the long term.
06
Les Brown
Much like Brendon Burchard, Les Brown’s voice has filled my home on many occasions. He is a staple of many of the best moticuts. There is true power in his words—and the personal stories those words invoke.
07
Brian Johnson
To this point, I might have learned more from Brian Johnson than any other person on the planet. He has created a library of classic and modern teachings on becoming the best you and living your best life.
08
Nahko bear
Nahko is probably my favorite musician today. I use his music to heal and connect with my highest self. There are others I use in the same way. Yet much Naruto’s story, Nahko’s music often feels written just for me.
09
Patrick Bet-David
Patrick Bet-David is one of leading entrepreneurial leaders of our time. Through his brand, Valuetainment, he has helped educate millions of business owners (and aspring business owners) around the world
10
Brendon Burchard
Brendon Burchard is one of the world’s leading high performance coaches. Before I met Gary Vee, I filled my house with Brendon’s voice almost everyday. His content was the first I used to brainwash myself.
11
David Goggins
David Goggins may be the most inspiring person on the planet today. He’s definitely in the running for toughest. This man sets an example few could truly follow but almost anyone could learn from.
12
Tom Bilyeu
Tom is one of the dark horses for top spot over the long term. Similar to Vishen, much of that has to do with the weight of his mission. He wants to “break people out of the Matrix” through entertainment. Smart and strong.
13
Grant Cardone
Grant Cardone makes this list because he is one of the most important voices for financial freedom on the planet today. This makes him another dark horse for my top five over the long-term. After all, money is hard.
14
Greg Plitt
15
Alex Hormozi
Elite/top tier 2020s entrepreneur… so naturally a fountain of information on mindset, productivity, biohacking… as well as more nitty gritty things like marketing automation and funnel development
16
Andy Frisella
biz building gangster… turned culture warrior?
15
Huberman
most famous (mainstream?) neuroscientist
16
Ragnar Lothbrook
Me in another life
15
Elon Musk
Still fairly skeptical but looking like one of the few “good” billionaires/billionaires on the side of common sense
16
DONALD TRUMP
Extremely skeptical but has the potential to top the list if he gives the libertarians what they want LOLOLOLOLOL
15
Tony Robbins
The personal growth GOAT… so many people talk about listening to his tapes
16
Ray Dalio
one of the most decorated/norotious/successful modern investors
15
Alex Becker
one of my biggest personal influences, especially in the work from home/SEO, then investing/entrepreneur/crypto spaces
16
Jesus Christ
The actual GOAT
Types of Heroes
don’t necessarily ‘look up to” all of these people
Everything you need to learn about goals is online.
I’m no high performance titan. I stand on the shoulders of giants. I simply listen to what my Heroes say and apply it. Not everything sticks. But enough does to make a lasting impact.

All of My Heroes
Lifelong Learner
The voices of my heroes fill my life.
Eventually, I hope that their presence does as well.
My ability to make that happen depends largely on my application of their teachings. I thirst for knowledge. I consume it in all forms and across various topics.
That’s how I became an elite Internet marketer.
Thanks to the Internet Era, digital marketing won’t be the last topic I master.
