Hi All,

A little about me, my name is Kwad.

Age: 34

Job: product manager @ a tech company.

Family: wife + 8 month old (my wing man)

Goal: to have financial freedom, more time with friends and family. Ability to help parents and siblings financially. Plus freedom to travel. All this by 40. I want a legacy for my son.

Current situation: earn enough to stay a float but no sports car yet. I also run a weekly salsa class. Just before my wife fell pregnant, I began a tech blog and podcast. However, that's kind of on the back burner.

Why I'm here: I have no problem with finding ideas for a business. My issue is taking the correct action and turning the highest value idea into something great. I need accountability, guidance, sanity checks and to meet other makers/doers.

Fast laners, I need to stop the dreams I have at night dying in the day.

Kwad
