life update:
bro everything is awesome in a way I wish everyone could experience.

Ridge will GROW more this year than we did in TOTAL revenue in 2024.

Podcast network helping thousands. Making millions.
Shows are now more popular than ever.

Beautiful wife. Perfect son.

Its a level of blessed that I wish on everyone.

WE ARE ALL SO FUCKING BACK.

no joke, 3 of these brands play tennis every week.

"but what if strangers on the internet are mean to me?"

gen z have a huge advantage right now.
they are fine being stupid online.
they are always shameless about getting the bag.

will say whatever, do whatever, to advance.

goes off the rails sometimes.
breaks the law sometimes (bad)

but they grew up making content.
a bad comment doesnt ruin their day-
its just more engagement.

say whatever, post whatever, be yourself.

none of this shit really matters all that much.

Dont equate a brands success with some random employee who worked there.

we had a department lead get poached this year.
they were fine, department was functioning.

but Ridge is crushing, the name meant something on a resume, and they got recruited.

The department currently doesnt have a leader...

AND IT IS FUCKING RIPPING.
2x the performance as before.

A rising tide lifts a lot of boats.
Inside and outside your org.

Brand success can cover up for a lot of mediocre sins.

In an ironic twist of faith, there are currently 1,000ish paper billionaires all living in California, who NEED data centers to realize that wealth.

Right now, no state has a larger financial incentive to build data centers than California.

It’s over 100 BILLION dollars in capital gains just sitting there… as long as the compute comes online.

Maybe that’s a strong enough incentive to start building here again!
