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.

For me personally, he’s a lot more.

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.

My Month in Personal Growth – December 2018
December has been one of the best months of my life. Rather: I've been around my all-time best this month. Experientially, nothing beats the days with my boys. But I am turning myself into a monster. It really showed this month. Much of the pay off will come later. ...
365 Day Content Challenge Week 6: First Little Hiccup
This was easily the toughest test for the daily content challenge so far. In fact, the test was so tough, I failed. My consistent content streak broke on Christmas Day. I actually started the day well. I started so well that I built on a new dev site instead of...
365 Day Content Challenge Week 5: Markets Hold Support
Apologies on the investing theme. It's a major theme in my life right now. It's also relevant here. This daily content challenge is largely a mandatory investment in my future. I'm making deposits into my online portfolio every single day for the next 330 or so. For...
365 Day Content Challenge Week 4: Checkpoint Complete
This seems a major milestone. Though I decided to start my Daily Content Challenge on the 17th, I included content started from my birthday. That makes today the one-month anniversary. So far, it's been surprisingly easy. The hardest part has been deciding what to do...
365-Day Daily Content Challenge Week 3: 1000s of Words
I'm doing fairly well on my daily content challenge so far. This week included a couple meaty posts and my first public SEO video in over 3 years. Then, I went on a design tear over the weekend. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to keep up the pace in January as my...
My Month in Personal Growth – November 2018
November was strong. It might have been the strongest month of my life to this point. It makes sense. I turned 30 last month. I'm pretty sure Zach Bradshaw's thirty-first year will be his best. That's because I get to make that choice everyday. The post you're...
How the Worst Thing That Ever Happened to Me Was Actually the Best
The title is a great exercise. But this is more than that. This is the truth. It's the story of how my greatest pain became my greatest strength. And it starts with a... Cardboard Box From the time I was 12... I used to say: "I could live in a cardboard box as long as...
365-Day Daily Content Challenge Week 2: First Couple Tests
A few weeks ago now, I put myself up to a 365-day daily content challenge. I've never done anything like it before. The closest I've come is committing to monthly personal growth updates for 2018. I still have two of those left. For some reason, I decided to up the...
How Gary Vee and Nahko Bear Teamed Up to Save My Life
Once upon a time, I was in a deep, dark place. It was completely self-imposed. I loved a girl. She gave me the world's greatest kids. But I was a dick. So she ran away with them. Good on her. It fucking huuuuuuuuurt though. It almost did me in. How? It took me so...
