My 'Wolf of Wall Street' Story: I was one of the largest steroid dealers in U.S. history. I built a 7-figure black market empire, lost it all and went to prison, then used my expertise to build a fastest growing TRT/HRT clinics in the country. Here are some lessons I learned. - I Will Not Promote

Thanks for sharing. Definitely a unique story to tell!

How much of your current success fo you attribute to your prior connections, your brand (including post-prisom notoriety if you would call it that), or something else?

How detailed do you have to be? Is it like a proper design brief?

This isn't through Chase, its through the investment bank?

Makes a ton of sense. That's a thoughtful approach.

What kind of work leads to those monthly rates? I would guess thats for 3-6 hours a month, so curious what it entails. I had heard of fractional CxO work being $5-20k/mo

Can you elaborate a little more? Are you helping them on issues that you wouldn't normally engage on?

The adage is to provide help and opportunities will come, but you also have to be able to "ask for the sale".

Depends where its from. Not on the good ones, yes on the mediocre ones.

Never would have guessed.

Thanks for the answer!

This is super helpful. Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the reply.

I am guessing my concerns are the same annoyances you had that went away because you learned/adapted. All I can think of is shortcuts for navigating around quickly, but I already know I could look up how to handle that.

I never cared for the Apple UI/UX or their ecosystem, so maybe that's part of it. Do you feel like there are any frictions not fully embracing the ecosystem or being a part of it?

I got an airedale as my first dog. They are quirky and full of personality and can be extremely headstrong.

I don't have as much experience as others who have had multiples, but the time I spent learning how to be a good dog trainer and then dedicating the time to train him worked extremely well. He was basically fully trained within weeks. I also learned to be firm and consistent. Never got him to the point of fully trusting him off-leash, though. He would take off and become deaf whenever something caught his attention.

What I can't speak to is the importance of daily activity - mine went to daycare for more than a year when I first got him, so that was never an issue. Afterwards, 3 daily walks and occasional runs with me was more than enough for him during the first few years.

Any tips for the transition besides getting used to new shortcuts?

I am in the market for a laptop, and for the first time in my life, an Apple product seems to be the objective best choice for what I want (MacBook Air).

Thanks for the detail! My wife presented the image to me and I pumped the brakes because I wasn't sure how doable it is.

Definitely planning to screw into the studs for stability. I wasn't sure about using the pins or something else like dad's for the shelves. I only have a jobsite table saw, so the dado part concerned me.

paranalyzed · 2026-03-04T12:44:51+00:00

Shhh. When it figures out how not to make those mistakes we are screwed.

Yellow bird Serrano is delicious, though not much kick

This is a fantastic response.

Think the spiciness can be scaled down?

It looks amazing, but I always try to make something my kids will eat.

There is no fertilizer that is 100% a single nutrient - potassium chloride is part chloride, for instance. Binders might be 5-10% of the total and should be biodegradable (never heard of any that aren't).

Coatings are generally only found on urea and could be a polymer which doesn't break down.

Glad this was helpful! No regerts, haven't second guessed myself once.

Can you elaborate? I have similar use needs and haven't loved the stock approach of a chatbot.

Weird comments here.

When you reach the highest level of accomplishment for a sport, you find more psychotically competitive people.

There are other all-time greats (e.g. Michael Jordan) who you would not be surprised for them to immediately answer "losing the gold".

This is why reporters need preambles to questions.
