I wanna do bigger time shit with my music project. I played this big show  one time that probably had like 200-300 people there and it was pretty electric. So more of those but in different cities like a legit tour would be epic one day.

 

There’s 5 “physical” activities on my bucket list. They are as follows:

1) Swim across English Channel

2) Climb Mt. Everest

3) Boston Marathon

4) Bench 315

5) Iron Man

I know that I probably won’t do all of them, but I’ll at least try sometime in my life & that’s alright for me.

Nice. Climbing Mt. Everest is the hardest among these and sometimes takes multiple attempts with expensive costs that go along with it.

BQ is a noble race among runners. I’ve done an Ironman. It was harder than I thought.

Here are a few of mine:

  • Get married and stay married, bonus points for having kid(s)
  • Become a C-level Exec at a MM or larger company
  • Clear an income level where I can retire my partner and afford toys I want without having to think too much about what I'm giving up in exchange ($100K car, some watches, flying business consistently on international, etc.)
  • Travel for leisure consistently (1-2+ months/year)
  • Get to 15% body fat or lower + significantly improve my health
  • Complete -- Hiked up Kilimanjaro and was going to continue working the 7 Summits (started before 14 Peaks came out an got everyone on the topic of mountaineering). Was booking for Elbrus when the Russia/Ukraine battle started, needed that one to do Aconcagua in South America.... but now very out of shape and have too many issues to deal with (outside of cost) .... definitely bucket list though.
  • Complete -- MBA
