The Rise
At 17, I invented LED bottle stickers in my basement.
Stick them under bottles, the liquid glows. Nightclubs loved them.
By 21, I was supplying 500 bars across America and Europe. Monaco. Ibiza. About to sign a deal for 100,000 units a month.

Then a London corporation with 500 patents and a legal team that could bury me in paperwork decided my invention was theirs.
I lost everything. My business. My savings. My girlfriend of seven years. All of it.
Rock Bottom
So there I was at 22.
Living in a basement apartment with a mattress on the floor, a laptop older than some of my beliefs, and a camping chair I'd found in my dad's garage.
That was my furniture. That was my life.
I got a job as a door-to-door salesman. Selling internet and TV packages I didn't believe in to people who didn't want them. Making maybe $600–900 a month.
My grocery budget was $50 a week. My credit card had $4,000 on it. My savings account had less than $100.

The voice in my head

You're not cut out for this.
You peaked at 21 and it's all downhill from here.
Remember Monaco? Remember when you had a real business? That was cute.
Why even try? You're just going to fail again.
Every night I'd come home, trying to control my impulses to self-destruct — smoking, drinking, anything to shut the voice up.
Sometimes it worked. Most times it didn't.
The Voice Recorder
One night, out of pure desperation, I did something that felt completely ridiculous.
I grabbed an old voice recorder, locked myself in my room, and recorded five minutes of affirmations.
I am travelling the world.
I am running a successful online business.
I am making over $10,000 a month.
I am confident.
I am bigger than my problems.
Then I put it on loop. Everywhere. In my car driving to work. While I slept. When I woke up. All day long.
I bought fake $100 bills from China and plastered them on my walls. Post-it notes on my fridge, my coffee machine, my bathroom mirror.
My actual affirmation wall — handwritten goals and mantras

My actual affirmation wall.

And at first? It pissed me off.
3 Weeks of Hell

I am financially free.

No, you're not. You literally just bought ramen in bulk.

I am confident.

Really? You got three doors slammed in your face today.

I travel the world.

Your world is a basement and a camping chair.

I felt like a fraud. A broke guy muttering delusions while eating instant noodles.
But I had nothing else. No plan B. No backup.

So I kept pressing play.

The Shift
After three weeks, something shifted.
I went to work and closed three sales. $485 in commission. The next day, three more.
Then something weirder happened. One night, cleaning files on my laptop, I found an old Shopify theme I'd built during my previous business.
A year earlier, I would have deleted it. But this time, I started looking at it differently.

The new voice

“I focus on opportunities. I trust myself.”
So I hired a developer. Started building. Launched it.
The first two customers hated it. Both wanted refunds.
One guy said he'd give me one week. Fix it, or he wanted his $99 back.
I paid $4,000 to fix a product for a customer who had paid me $99.
Make it make sense.
Cha-Ching
That Friday, I sent the fixed file without even testing it. Then I panicked.
I drove an hour and a half to my grandfather's house in the middle of nowhere. No cell service. No internet.
I spent the weekend hiding from reality like a coward.
Sunday evening, I drove home. As soon as I hit cell service...

United States 🇺🇸Cha-ching! 💰
Argentina 🇦🇷Cha-ching! 💰
France 🇫🇷Cha-ching! 💰
Australia 🇦🇺Cha-ching! 💰
United Kingdom 🇬🇧Cha-ching! 💰

$12,000+

In one weekend. Without opening my laptop.

The Takeoff
Two days later, I was on a plane to Bali. Even though I was still broke on paper.
And while I was on that flight — sitting there with no network — I made enough money to pay for my entire month in Bali.

We eventually sold $6.9 million worth of that Shopify theme.
One out of every three Facebook ads I clicked led to a website using my product.
The camping chair? Long gone.

What Actually Changed
I didn't get lucky. I didn't find a mentor. I didn't read a secret book or attend a magic seminar.

The only thing that changed
was the voice in my head.

I replaced what it was saying with something different. I repeated it so many times that the new voice became louder than the old one.

I didn't change my circumstances to change my thinking.

I changed my thinking to change my circumstances.

The Realization
As I met people from all walks of life around the world, I realized something:

I wasn't the only one dealing with negative thoughts.

We ALL have that annoying inner voice that never shuts up.

If we want to create a better world, we need to start with the voice inside our heads.

We sold the business.

Went all-in on Innertune.
