In 2012, at the age of 32, with $250 in my pocket, I started out the door on a 7 month journey across Canada (twice). From my hometown near Vancouver (West Coast), to Halifax (East Coast), and back again, going where I was invited, finding my way between those invitations, taking & sharing photographs, hosting guitarties & potlucks along the way, all on a quest to 'Encourage The Awesome' in every person I'd meed along the way, and who would watch/follow online. Incredible things are done by normal people. People who do incredible things are normal people. I intentionally wanted to encourage people to realize their own passions, possibilities, and share that yes, while these things can be scary, the fear is also a guide into the things that we care about, that matter to us, and that are worth doing. For me and for you. It's always one step at a time. It's harder to deify the person who's living out of a backpack, sleeping on your couch, and just sharing stories, food, and laughter around the dinner table. If I could do that, maybe you can do the thing thought out of reach? So, when I say that Empire Builder is for Creators, Builders, and Founders, I really do mean it. The heart of my desire is to be able to help all people, including myself, find and utilize better tools, resources, and assistance in bringing their unique passions, purpose, magic, into the world. I've been walking this road for many years, and I'll keep walking it for as long as I'm able. Together, from Dreams to Empires 🏛️ Sidenote/Sidequest: It is in doing things, in walking down the path, that more opportunities and paths open up. It was on this journey I became sponsored by Guayaki Yerba Mate 🧉. And it was around a year and a half later that I was hired as their 'Tribe Connecting Cebador' aka in charge of their Digital Strategy, Social Media, Ambassador Program development & execution, etc. You don't need my permission, or anyone else's, to pursue your passion, to dive into your hobbies, to find and hone your special spark and secret sauce. But you do have my encouragement and my support. And that of Empire Builder ofc 😉 ... and yes, I was known as The Maple Musketeer 😉 cc: @diviflyy @bribe @statuette @nounishprof @dish @alitiknazoglu @limone.eth @bizarrebeast @push- @pichi

Respect shapes direction. To venerate something is to hold it in deep respect. Not loud respect. Not performative respect. Real respect. Albert Schweitzer put it simply: "Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life." Worth thinking about what you actually venerate in practice, not just in theory. Your calendar knows. Your habits know. Your attention knows. Practical tip: Pick one thing you truly respect and give it a visible place in your day today. Respect shapes direction. ~🧉🐻⚔️

It is my absolute fucking pleasure to tell you that today I finally handed in my resignation at my toxic day job. My full time focus going forward will be building Empire Builder and Empire-aligned applications. My goal is to have Empire Builder V3 live by the end of April (major upgrade), Glonkybot V2 live by mid-May, and the first Empire mini-game ready by June. Love you ❤️

Buybacks can reduce bleed, but they don’t replace new demand. They help when inflation is the issue. Most fixed-cap tokens have a participation issue instead. The better approach is using tokens to support the mission of the project directly through activations, rewards, access, and coordination. That’s what moves people from unaware → aware → participants → holders → buyers. Tokens are strongest when they’re used as tools for alignment, not as price support mechanisms.

Synergy is 1 + 1 = 3 It’s when the sum is greater that its parts. And it’s what happens when two or more people work together. It’s how Empire Builder came to be & continues to grow 🫡 It started with @diviflyy & I talking about an idea. And now every Empire Builder adds to the substance of the whole in increasingly greater ways 🫡

"Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of nature. Where the smaller faction are secure only by the impartial administration of the laws." ~James Madison Impartial systems protect the minority. They stabilize cooperation. They make trust durable instead of fragile. For most of history, impartiality depended on institutions behaving well. Now we can build systems where fairness is transparent, verifiable, and accountable by design. Open ledgers auditable rules shared coordination layers This changes how people relate to power to participation and to each other Builders are not just launching tools... We are helping shape impartial infrastructure for a new era 🏛️

In every individual there lies a vast store of latent energy waiting to be called forth. — William James Not all strength arrives loudly. Some strength waits beneath the surface while you learn. While you practice. While you build. While you become the person capable of carrying what comes next. Builders spend a surprising amount of time working in that unseen layer. Laying foundations developing judgment learning patterns strengthening signal Latent does not mean missing. It means preparing. Keep building. 🏛️
