I'll cut the shit.

This is a solo mission.

Six months ago i finished school. I finished ahead of 95% of the students in Australia for 2024, but i didn't feel complete. I could've done more. I could've spent my time better. I could've learnt more.

I could always had of done better.

Three days after my final exam of the year, i entered full time work. A laboratory assistant. During peak season, i was working 56 hour weeks here. But that's not all. I still kept my casual high school job - managing a retail store.

Juggling these two often took up 70+ hours of my week. And even after entering the off season, I was working around 50 hours a week minimum. But i still wasn't content.

I've always been intrigued by the methods of investing and wealth building outside of a typical job. SO around this time is where i banked a good chunk of moneuy into crypto. However, this was a gamble - with real money. money id already earnt. If i made a profit, i was gaining a percentage of the money I'd already worked for. This income still depended on the hours i clocked in.

I began intensely looking into side hustles. Amazon FBA, drop shipping, copywriting, cold calling, selling online products. Full "crypto bro" shit.

My parents - right from a kid told me how money never comes easy. And i never really understood how difficult they meant. Through days of setbacks, i started my first drop shipping store "carisma" - Selling car gadgets.

Now don't get me wrong - this felt big. But after 50,000 views and 0 sales, i realized it wasn't big. I gave up on the goal; 100,000 dollars in sales before i turned 18.

This kind of hurt. But i knew one day id have everything i always dreamt of.

But through days of working, where the days are long and the weeks are short, i couldn't help but think how the fuck there exists people that will spend more than my extended families net worth on a car? or a holiday? or a boat that they use once every three years.

This shit kept me up at night. It still does. I cant sleep knowing how far the gap between me and the top is. But that's what it took.

I began looking into the psychology of money. the way assets deplete and the way money decreases in value. The stuff that - trust me after winning at school - they don't teach you in school.

I realized if i wanted to make it - i needed to generate more income.

Everyday i spent hours thinking about how that could happen. I'd work 8 hour shifts on autopilot trying to answer the question. I'd get an idea, research a little about it, and see it had already been executed - or it was extremely difficulty to do.

That was until i was looking for posters online. It was shocking. It hit me like a ton of bricks.

I couldnt find anything funny. What i could find was extremely mainstream, expensive, and boring. I decided i would give POD a shot.

And that's where we are today. You see, CrackedPOD isn't some slap together shit show of a guy trying to make a quick buck. It's a message, a motto, a lifestyle even.

It's a sign to me. Your time will come. You will achieve everything you're meant to. But you need to work your ass of until your there. It's a message - to chill the fuck out every once in a while. It's my empire. Something i can contribute to everyday, whether i want to or not.

And at the end of it - I'll have everything i want.

Until then, i'm an uncontent piece of shit that wont take a breath. and i fucking love it.
