Everything here earned its spot
On January 2, 2008, I stepped on a scale and saw 256 pounds. I was a golfer who could rarely break 100. A few years later I was carrying over $200,000 in debt while making good money.
I didn’t fix any of that with one big purchase. I fixed it with a routine I repeat every day and a short list of tools that make the routine easy to repeat. That’s what this page is. Not a catalog. The stuff I actually use, in the order I use it.
If you came here from The Saturday Morning Blueprint, the coffee and the workout programs are the first two sections. Everything is marked: (Paid Link) for Amazon, (Affiliate Link) for my other partners. If you buy through them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That’s how this site stays free.

Morning coffee: Nespresso Intenso and Double Espresso Scuro
Black coffee, dark roast. I brew it while I stretch and drink it with my notebook, 20 minutes, no phone, no screen. At about a dollar a pod, it still beats a Starbucks drip.
I rotate two Vertuo pods: Intenso and Double Espresso Scuro. My machine: the Nespresso Vertuo Next.

The workout programs I stream (BODi)
I did Fire and Flow, 10 Rounds, 21 Day Fix Real Time, 21 Day Fix Extreme Real Time, #mbf, #mbfa, and 9 Week Control Freak during my 2026 Ramp. I’ve done numerous others in the past, including Power 90, P90, P90X, P90X3, Insanity, T25, and Tai Cheng. There are so many options to fit your current season. Plus I used Shakeology and Energize every day.
My morning shake
There’s a Shakeology that says Zero Sugar right on the bag. On the BODi site it’s listed as Shakeology 0g Added Sugar. Café Latte is my flavor.
My Ninja blenders live in my PA and North Myrtle Beach homes and make the morning and evening shake easy. Blended with milk and ice, it’s something I look forward to every day.

Fitness gear outside BODi
My post-workout shake is Vega Protein + Creatine, mixed in a BlenderBottle. My Shakeology gets blended in a cordless Ninja Blast. And for tracking the Ramp, I use a Slimpal scale and tape.

The condo gym
A set of light dumbbells and a rack in my North Myrtle Beach condo, so a hurricane can’t cancel the workout. Bought October 2026, tested the first rainy morning with Power Ignite.
Golf: speed training
In 2008 I could rarely break 100. Today my handicap is in the 12s, and I’m chasing a 10. In the winter it’s Tathata drills in the condo, The Stack System speed routines, and the range on weekends.
Money: the apps I use to buy and earn Bitcoin
I still save every week, the way David Bach taught me in The Automatic Millionaire. These days that weekly savings goes into Bitcoin. I use Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Fold. Education, not advice. Details and risks on the page.
Before the apps, the system. The Weekend Wealth Blueprint is the five moves, in order, with the numbers I use. Free.

Books that changed how I run my life
The Automatic Millionaire built my savings habit. The Power of Now changed how I think about being present. And my own books (The Ramp, Accelerate Your Money and Prosper, and Protect Your Money and Prosper) are the systems I run on.
Is it on sale right now?
I keep this month’s BODi offers, Amazon deals, and book promos on one page.
Earned Leisure
Coffee and other rituals live on the Earned Leisure page.
The one tool I’d delete before your Ramp starts
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or any social media app that spirals you into hours of scrolling. Everything above makes the routine easier. That one makes it harder.
Start with the system, then the tools
Tools don’t build the habit. The routine does. The Saturday Morning Blueprint is the exact morning, workout, and savings system these tools plug into. It’s free.
Want to watch it happen live? I’m posting every weigh-in and workout on My 2027 Ramp. I’ve kept most of my weight off for years, and I’m driving back under 170 on my 2027 Ramp.
