From Dead at Birth to Debugging My Mind
—Here’s My Story

I was born dead—blue in the face and not breathing.

That brush with the edge shaped me: a foot in the divine, a hunger for more.

But for years, I chased the wrong code.

I threw cash at gurus, piled on debt hiring recruiters, consultants, big-shot team members—anything to crack success. I’d taught marketing since 2008, coached since 2007—thought I had it wired. Yet there I was, staring at the ceiling, debt creeping up, wondering why it wasn’t working.

In 2003, an advisor cut through the haze. Over beers, he stared me down: “Calvin, I still don’t know what you want.” Time froze. My mind glitched—Wait, I can want something?

I’d been running buggy software: chasing shadows, too stubborn to debug the real problem—me. I was the boy, not the man, dodging the deep work, praying for a magic fix.

So I rewrote the code.

I dove into the masters—Russell Brunson, Alex Hormozi, Garyvee, Dan Martell—tore through 50 books, asking: Why does this work? What’s the first principle here?

I dissected “unique mechanism” vs. “new opportunity”—same or different?—until strategy clicked, simple and bare.

Then I debugged my mind—Gay Hendricks, Byron Katie, Joe Dispenza, Tony Robbins, Eastern sages, meditation, energy. Years of personal growth had been like patching a prison cell.

This was different: shattering the cage of my old self. Simple, once you see the bugs.

Mind debugging changed everything.

Now, I’ve built a $5M business that hums—predictable, with a team that laughs too loud (our little joke). I wake up grateful, work’s a joy, and I can vanish three weeks to write a book—like I did this fall. My relationship thrives, my health’s sharp—I’ve got the master key. Others have debugged their way free with this too.

I’ve been you—lost, doubting, stuck in loops: Will this ever work? Why can’t I break through? As a software engineer, I learned: the bug’s always in the part you don’t question.

I’m not peddling magic pills. I’ve got what works: next-gen mindset to squash your mind bugs, first-principles strategy to build what lasts.
