The 2nd Return of Medici the Golden Khan

A Tale of Dragons

In reviewing my last few entries, I see that I haven’t talked about the effects of Tale of the Dragon.

While there have plenty of instances where I’ve been a great storyteller and communicator, recently two examples stood out for me.

I was hanging out with a buddy of mine and we got to talking about relationships. At one point during our conversation, my buddy commented that I was eloquently dropping heavy game. He further said that everything I was describing was so crystal clear for him.

Last week I was out to dinner with my lifelong friends from childhood. We all try to get together two to four times a year, and this was our first dinner of the year. So we were catching up, as we always do, and everything about the night and conversation flowed.

When the night was over and I reflected on the dinner, the conversations were so engaging, and the ease in which I was able to communicate large swaths of events over the last few months into succinct stories was amazing. And I put zero thought into it while it was happening.

Also an emperor fitness manifestation from that night was I decided to walk 30+ blocks to the dinner when I realized I had over an hour until the dinner and there was no need to catch the subways. 50 minutes later I felt accomplished, energized, and ready to chow down as I had earned my calories.

On a side note, I do get the sense that my stack is still too dense and the inclusion of a stage 4 core may be too much. I will reduce exposure for the remainder of the cycle.

I will be running a third cycle of EOG-1.

Initially I thought I would only run it for two cycles and then move on to the next stage, but the more I run it and review the description, the more I see, there are other areas I still want to work on in Stage 1.

Stage 1 has been awesome. I’ve picked up a new project and steam of income, which has made me appreciate the time is had over the last year with my family in the mornings.

My wife and I have done some more future planning and had some honest conversations about our individual plans and how to pay for them.

I’ve had more discipline around spending and still ease with spending. There’s a financial awareness about my spending, but no longer guilt. I also don’t have negative feelings when it’s not the time to buy something.

And still I’ve been able to get everything I need, oftentimes finding it on sale. For example, I needed new apparel for this project; I found it on sale. Yesterday I went to buy a new fragrance that I want to try out, and the best price was the first ad. I checked three other places before confirming the purchase, and still it was the best price.

So far, the biggest difference for me is that money is no longer a burden or no longer feels like a burden. It feels like a tremendous responsibility in the best kind of way. Like I’m not only responsible for what I do with my stored energy, but even what I do with the stored energy of others.

I’ve been re-listening to an audiobook by a Jewish rabbi explaining what the Torah says about money and certain Jewish customs around money.

One of the things he talks about is that throughout the Bible, wealth is given to wise men. They earned it, and God has saw them fit for using it judiciously to help the most people. If you just take care of your family, that’s fine. That’s the expectation. But if you create such value that you amass great wealth that you can take care of many, many more people, then it is your responsibility to do so.

In the same way I feel called to take care of more people. And I’m not talking about just giving people money, although I’m fine with that through charity and what not, but I’m more so talking about Leaving a legacy of people being lifted up and taking care of their own responsibilities. I’m thinking about how I can get more young people into my profession.

How can I put more people in position to succeed?

So I was listening to a podcast the other day and the guest who is a biologist. He used to run the 10x health company and they did biological or DNA testing and recommended vitamins and supplements based on gene variants.

One of the things he said was that you could take a DNA test, any DNA test, and plug it in to Chat GPT, and ask it to recommend supplements based on your gene mutations.

I did one of those ancestor profiles some years ago, and I was able to download my DNA data, and then upload it to chatgpt and get recommendations.

I’m now in the process of finding supplements in the quantities necessary.

It was very enlightening as on the podcast he discussed the MTHR gene and how mutations in this gene can affect metabolism of certain nutrients and vitamins, specifically folates and B vitamins. The biologists also discussed how the lack of these nutrients could lead to the build-up of something called homocysteine. The build-up of this leads to various issues in the cardiovascular system, as well as anxiety-like symptoms. symptoms.

I discovered that I had this mutation and another one more likely to make me insulin resistant. I would have never known about this. I am extremely grateful to live in a time where this sort of information and technology is available to the masses.

I am now more empowered to manage my health over the long run. I’ll be more likely to make the second half of life more like two thirds of life.

There’s a lot I could write about from the last few days, But I’ll share an example from this morning.

I had a contractor come to my home to give me an estimate for some work. While we were talking, he asked how old I was. When I told him I was 40, he was surprised and told me I didn’t look at it. I joked, saying it must be good genes and maybe my vegan diet.

When I told him how long I had been plant-based, he was even more surprised. Because he said, I looked solid. I told him that comes from putting the work in. And while I don’t do it for the comments from others, I take them as external proof that the work I’m putting in is showing results.

Speaking of putting the work in… Yesterday I decided to do pull-ups and dips for the first time in almost a year.

I’ve definitely gotten stronger over the last year with these X3 band workouts. Whereas a year ago I struggled to do one band assisted pull-up, yesterday I easily did five.

A year ago, I did band assisted dips, yesterday, I did 10 dips, no band. I’m sore as hell because of it, but I’m definitely going to cycle those into my workouts now.

The definition in my back is really starting to improve. I see more mounds and separation and shadows than ever before.

Approaching washout.

I’m coming to the end of my second cycle with ASBR and EOG Stage 2. My most recent third flanker has been AOW.

Adding AOW has definitely enhanced my strategic thinking across so many lines.

If I just look at programming and vibe coding, whereas I used to try and do one prompt to build an app, I now am thinking like an enterprise developer, and I have a front end, a back end, a structure to the APIs, a structure to the folder formatting. Everything now is about maintainability and chunking. I break features down into inputs and outputs, dependencies, User stories and workflows, tests and tasks.

There’s a depth of thinking that’s evolving that feels like what I wish Sub Model Alpha felt like. Maybe part of that script is evolved in AOW.

I also find that AOW has an even deeper calming script than ED. My sense of calm in the midst of chaos is next level. I’m able to find the right words to communicate expectations and next steps to take.

The ASBR / EOG combination is amazing. I’m looking forward to running Stage 3 next month.

I’m still confronting some areas where I’m procrastinating, but in most areas of my life I am getting things done.

I’m curious about the new Hero product. I’ll definitely be reading the copy to see if it’s a fit for my B Day Stack.

Taking a break from the ASBR / EOG combination.

After running every stage with ASBR in order, this has been a transformational year so far filled with many highs and a few lows. Through it all I was very focused on my goals and the very next thing that needed to be done.

And now I’ve cycled back to my most up to date version of Medici the Golden Khan. I look forward to updating it when C&C is released.

The things that are accentuated on MGK are so fun. There is a lightness that has returned that wasn’t present on ASBR. And that’s not a knock on ASBR just a reflection of how my consciousness is expressing the scripting.

I’ve freed up some time for more family time in the evenings already, and the prowess of Khan has returned .

I am still amazed at how listening to a brief audio has such a profound impact in my life.

[Seneca]

I’m a few weeks into my return to MGK, now that Emperor: C&C has dropped.

So now it’s the 3rd Return of Medici the Golden Khan but refined to Golden Khan: Crown & Capital.

So far the confluence is interesting. The new adaptive scripting is prominent and it’s blending with my modules and Khan in some wild ways.

Extreme respect, on the level of deference, from others is a normal daily experience.

Next month I start a corporate path for my industry at my highest base salary yet. While there were hints of this last year, it all came to be since starting my updated GKCC custom.

My apps are the closer to launch ready with or without funding, everything is lining up for a end of Q1 launch. I’m beginning to think about beta users and ways to promote the apps at launch.

Family life is great. I’ve given myself permission to be easy about a lot of things that my parental urges want to get right.

But the desire to get things right is no longer a motivator. Is that what I want to be remembered for?

Here lies Seneca… He got it right

I would rather spend some time playing video games and card games with my kids.

Back from my first vacation of the year, and right in time for the updated R.I.C.H.

I downloaded it this weekend, when I realized it was released. I did a 5 minute loop as that is my personal starting comfort zone for these subs.

While it didn’t put any direct money in my pocket as some other users reported so quickly, I did have the value of an item increase in it’s usefulness to me.

I have had a microbrand watch for bit now and my chief complaint was that the 40 hour reserve never lasted 40 hours, barely ever 24 hours. I was in a watch store trying on a few and talking to the shop keeper, when he asked me about my watch. I told him I loved almost everything about the watch except the power reserve. He gave me such a great tip on increasing the power reserve when I take the watch off at night, that I’m truly blown away I didn’t know about it earlier. That alone restored my joy of ownership for a watch I written off as a great start with a weak finish to an all around great watch.

GKCC is already very high on the wealth generation scripting, but there are some added components to R.I.C.H. that make it a great flanker to my custom. This is now my stack for March.

I love the way Khan is expressing itself. I remember on an earlier run of the older MGK custom, I reached a point where I no longer felt like I want to dominate the world and so I stopped running the custom for a long time. But Khan is not expressing as domination, maybe it is the influence of Emp:CC, or even a module or two, but now the expression is lighter, courteous, jovial, and fun loving. I’m not seeking to dominate, it’s almost like OG Primal, where I’m having a good time and inviting others to have a good time with me.

The amount of strangers who initiated conversation with me this past week was a definite up tick. And it didn’t feel strange or unusual. The Lion IV is definitely kicking in too. Occasionally, I had the feeling of being watched or when I was gazing around and taking in the scene, strange women would make that deer and the headlights look. I stopped looking for it a long time ago, but here it was again. It wasn’t uncomfortable or anything, it was more like, oh no, not this again. A forgotten side-effect of Khan programming.

The EOG effect is also kicking in with Emp:CC. I’m beginning to focus on next steps for wealth building and have long term planning conversations with my wife. I’m also humbled. I feel everything that has happened has gotten me to here, and I have so much I want to put in place before I kick the bucket for my kids, but it all means less if I don’t prepare them for how to use it and navigate this world.

The initial physical security minded, protection strategies I engaged in during the first weeks of listening to Emp:CC have subsided from beans and bullets to buckets and bullion. Security looks like fully funded retirement accounts and other assets that I can leverage over time for more resources.

If i’m lucky I’ll have another 25-30 years to put it all together. I’m focused on what I can do in the next 12-60 months to accelerate that process.

[Seneca]

So many great things have happened, personally in the last few weeks that it’s hard to comprehend how it all came together.

Everything is happening in a way that supports my greatest growth, without growing too fast to support it.

The integration is completely natural and the reflection is laser focused on what needs to change. That’s all I can say for now, but this current run of Golden Khan: C&C is incredible.
