What Is Authority Building?
Chakras are the body’s main energy centers. Most teachers today include seven of them. Other models include 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, or 13. Whichever model you choose, “the chakras” are considered the most important of 100s (or even 1000s) of energy centers in our bodies.
My Two Cents
Money is one of my Tier 1 Topics.
That makes it an entrance to many rabbit holes.
These profiles are largely for me. I use them to record and reference. In the future, I may make them more meaningful to the outside observer.
No guarantees. Let’s start small.
The Basis of Commerce
This is an odd way to put it. But it’s the only phrase that captures the entire bucket. Gary thinks like a Scorpio.
Plans to Destroy It
Many of my heroes talk about company culture. Gary’s idea of a “Honey Empire” is one of the best.
A Game to Be Played
Most people know Gary as “that social media guy.” Makes sense. He’s one of—if not the—best at it on the planet.
Not the Root of Evil
Gary wants to buy the Jets. Big dream, but he has a practical plan for it. Luckily, he is documenting the journey.
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?
How I Think About Authority Building
For me, Money Mastery is basically one half of the overall Money puzzle.
On the same level, I have Economics. It’s the practical side whereas Economics is more about curiosity.
It has many sub categories, already 4 or 5 tiers deep–and growing as more knowledge does. Like it’s parent category, I break Money Mastery into two big chunks… Playing Markets and Financial Literacy.
Here’s a quick look at those.

Markets
There is a lot that goes into. I can’t make up my mind whether to focus on the writing or the designing. I guess it doesn’t matter. The daily content challenge marches on.

My Top Three Authority Building Teachers
I stand on the shoulders of giants.
As I chase after true money mastery, I’ve constantly got an eye out for perspectives.
These are the three who have made the biggest impact on me to date.

My Progress So Far
More than anyone else:
Gary is the reason I started creating hero profiles.
Now that I’ve started, I see that his profile may be less useful than my other heroes to other people. But his will likely always remain the most important to me.
I fucking love this dude. He changed my life.
More accurately, he teamed up with Nahko to save my life.
I’m not quite sure when I found him. I featured him all the way back in one of my first posts for Greensboro SEO Pro.

2020 Content Challenge Week 10 Review: Smash Mouth
This was a strong week. On script. Dominating time of possession. It's not a blow out yet. But it is setting up to be. I'm getting a little Carolina Panthers 2015 vibe from this one. This is that "go out and hit 'em in the mouth" ish. 👊🤩💪 Smash mouth football has...
2020 Content Challenge Week 9 Review: Championship Mentality
This week we finished the game strong. February was truly one of those character-building games. Overall, it was a tough, come-from-behind grinder. We had a really strong second half. And we definitely needed it after that first quarter. But we showed the heart of...
2020 Content Challenge Week 8 Review: Stealing Momentum
This was a successful week. I'd say I'm just barely losing on my monthly goals. After Week 6, that's an accomplishment within itself. I'm still not ahead though. I have to be clutch in the fourth quarter. 😁😁😁 My favorite. Third Quarter of the Second Game Truth be...
2020 Content Challenge Week 7 Review: The Bounce Back
This week we got back in the game. If last week was a 14-0 first quarter... This week I brought the deficit down to something like 24-14. It wasn't pretty but I definitely closed the gap. To a large degree, we're back on script. But we still have another half to play....
2020 Content Challenge Week 6 Review: Smacked in the Mouth
This week was a tough one. Execution was nowhere near crisp enough. Now, we're down on the score. Fortunately, I was able to get a few points on the board. At least my content streak is still alive. Despite getting smacked in the mouth, First Quarter of the Second...
2020 Content Challenge Week 5 Review: The Right Intangibles
This week I made it harder than it had to be. Yet, a win is a win. I don't mind winning ugly. And close games build character. Not to mention, I was able to make some massive deposits on the future. Winning a championship often comes down to intangibles. This week, we...
2020 Content Challenge Week 4 Review: Down to the Wire
This was a stop and start week. For me, it was meetings on meetings and meetings. This kept me from being able to lead as effectively as I wanted to. I'll need to make some adjustments—as I plan on more such weeks, not less. In effect: This was a quarter of football...
2020 Content Challenge Week 3 Review: Grinding It Out
One of my favorite morning Affirmations: "I yearn for the daily grind." The path to success isn't glamorous. It's grueling and monotonous. You have the same mandate everyday: Take the next step. Wherever you are along the journey, you must continue to move forward....
Setting the New 20s Off Right: My 2020 Goals
New Year's Resolutions get a bad wrap. It's not their fault though. It's yours. The truth is: The beginning of the year is a perfect time for a reset. You have to execute though. Do it right and this year could be the best year you've ever had. No guarantees. Because,...
