Acknowledgements
I’d like to thank my wife Nomi Correli for her incredible support as a partner and ally in my journey to become the man I am today, and for supporting me in this ambition, which could have serious consequences for both of us. I’m grateful that she recognizes that this is my mission and that she stands beside me through it all.
I also want to thank my incredible team at Simplero. I’m so blessed that I can go totally AWOL and dedicate 2-3 weeks to a project like this, and everything just keeps humming right along. I’m privileged and grateful to work with you all. You are beautiful people.
Elizabeth Barr-Jobson, my Chief of Staff, my right hand woman, and my co-host on the United we Talk Podcast. She’s been handling all the logistics of publishing this book, as well as making sure everything else at the company kept running smoothly while I gave all of my focus and attention to writing this book. I’m so grateful to have you in my life, and it’s been a blessing to get to know you better over the years. You have courage, integrity, and a heart of gold.
Danielle Schalin, my Executive Assistant, who essentially runs my life, and who’s also been heavily involved in the logistics of this book. I’m so blessed that you came back into my life, you’re the reason I can focus on the work only I can do, the work I must do.
Kaden Rhodes, my personal videographer and social media manager, for unintentionally inspiring me to write this book. We went to a Tucker Carlson event together in late September, and it allowed me to experience it through his eyes and see what was grating about it. It made me realize that it was time to finish this book I started writing five years ago, but wasn't ready to write then.
Deanna Buoniconti, who’s my longest-running team member, and who witnessed first-hand my red-pilling in 2017 and 2018. Deanna, I appreciate you so much for your heart, loyalty, and integrity, and for the incredible team you’ve built.
To my engineers and product team for continuing to do incredible work and keep everything running smoothly when my entire focus is on writing this book. You really are the most impressive team in the industry, doing work that’s superior to what other teams ten times our size do.
To my incredible support team for always making our members rave about how supported they feel. It’s about so much more than answering questions fast and accurately—it's about love and connection, and you guys deliver, day after day, even when you’re getting slammed.
And finally to the rest of my admin team who keeps all the cogs running so I rarely even have to think about any of them.
I want to thank my parents, Anne Grethe Pind and Torben Pind, for bringing me into this world, for giving me a safe environment to grow up in, for seeing my talent and supporting me in developing it, and for instilling good values in me.
I remember an episode as a kid when we were practicing our golf swing at the practice range. My brother and I had found that we could gather the balls for practice without feeding money into the machine. My dad was calm and clear: “I love how clever you are, boys, but that wouldn’t be right. These people need to be paid for their work.” I remember that moment vividly. It’s not about doing what’s expedient, it’s about doing what’s right. That’s always stayed with me.
Andrrew Ethen Elliot Mogensen, founder of Body-SDS, is probably the one person, apart from my parents and my wife, to whom I owe the greatest debt for making me the man that I am. I have been using Body-SDS for 20 years, and worked with Andrrew personally for about ten.
All of my biggest breakthroughs, my most impactful journeys into the depths of my being, were facilitated by Andrrew and his body of work. His magic and his body of work is unparalleled. A big part of my mission is to bring Body-SDS to America and the rest of the world, so we can bring this deep, 100% natural healing to many more people.
Palle Gad, my mom’s friend and surgeon who turned to psychotherapy, I owe you a debt of gratitude. You were one of the people who early on confirmed my suspicions about the medical industry, and you were the one I turned to for a referral when I, terrified and lonely and in suffering, decided to seek help from a psychotherapist. You’ve touched my heart more than you know. May you rest in peace.
Bodhi Jeffreys was my first spiritual teacher and the person who opened my eyes to the truth behind my conditioning. You’ll always have a special place in my heart.
Gay Hendricks is another man that has helped me find the person I am. We all have our true self buried underneath the false persona we create during childhood. I hired Gay for 1:1 coaching in 2012 while I was living in India for a whopping $4k for 8 sessions. Yowza. That was a ton of money for me. But it was one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and it became the start of a lasting friendship. Gay, I’m incredibly grateful for everything you’ve taught me.
Byron Katie is my favorite spiritual teacher. What she teaches is so simple, and so irrefutable. I love when logic and spirituality merge, right there at the tip of consciousness. I’m so grateful I got to do a podcast with her a few years back, as I was grappling with how to be spiritual and not be bought into the Democrat dogma. Katie, you’re a true light in the world.
Peter Crone helped free me from a subtle guilt that had been driving me for 50 years. He’s also helped make the spiritual truths I knew in my heart practical and easily understandable. Peter, your ability to speak in quotables is magnificent. Thank you for the work that you do.
Tony Robbins I’ve only talked to in person once, but I’ve been a student since I bought his CDs in the early 2000s. I’ve learned a ton from him, and he’s helped so many people through his decades of work.
Dan Martell was my business coach for many years, and he is the one business coach I’ve followed that focuses on the full picture: Team, health, family, and yes, money. He also is the reason I found Danielle, my Executive Assistant.
When it comes to the world of politics, a few names a worth mentioning.
Scott Adams has been a steady source of helpful frames on major issues. His X feed and his show have shaped my thinking. When I did a daily live stream 6-7 years ago as I started to try and make sense of the world, I named my daily live stream in honor of his show.
Mike Cernovich always provides analysis that is way ahead of others. I’ve learned so much about the real world from you. And his documentary Hoaxed helped me see the lies of the media. Thank you, Mike.
There are many more that I could thank, people I’ve met and people I’ve never met. But you gotta end somewhere.
If you’ve played any part in my life, I love you, and I’m eternally grateful.
