Howdy,
This is my monthly update email. Just like companies send updates to their investors, I send updates to you all.
If you are reading this it is because, in some form, I have met you on my path.
I am grateful for you.

Accountability
My future
____________________________________________
First, as always, please let me know what connections, deals, etc would be valuable to you.
Now without further ado:
Wisdoms Collected:
- ‘There are years where weeks happen, and weeks where years happen’ - It’s never an equation of time, and always an equation of Input/time.
- My definition of success is internal peace
- Pain -> Perspective -> Gratitude -> Peace
- Your Internal is your external, but does not have to be vice versa
- The only thing impressive is character.
- I need little to live.
Accountability that I am taking action:
People I had the privilege of talking to:
(Each of these people impressed me with their character, and then their achievements)
Dr. Bailey - Former President of Exxon Arabian Gulf
Xiaochen Zhang - Executive Director of AI 2030
Jessica Greenwalt - Founder of Nice.Industries, Ex Creative Director at Vayner3
Patricia Mangialini - One of the world’s Youngest Diplomats, now a CoS @ an FO
Arielle Shih - Curated Experiences, IR, World Traveler
Hector Djibaou - Founder of Globalpolitan, Ex-Deloitte, US Intelligence Services
Austin Moss - Founder of Capital Collab, Connector/Investor Extraordinaire
Anoop Kansupada - Advises families on emerging technology and ecosystems
Alicia Long - Connector on BIG deals, Shark Tank Season 14, IR at Artest Mgmt
Daniel Puder - Ex-WWE, UFC Fighter building schools, Partnered with Tony Robbins
Among other royalty, storied families, etc who I’m not sure of character.
Events I attended:
Las Vegas F1 - Capital on Track, F1 suite viewing party
Art Basel - Scarface Mansion, Bit Basel, Family Office Forum, Robb Report, Venture Investor Forum x Art Basel
Grant Cardone 10X Hangar Party
Notable Projects completed on top of main work + travel:
- JamesFloyds.World Updated to a new, classier experience.
- Crossed 100 poems written. (Lmk if you would like to see one!)
- Gave a talk on The Third Door
- Created an art piece for an auction {see video on instagram (@ end)}
- Continued Building in Public on Instagram (3 more videos posted)
The next step for me:
- Join a team of the best. I’m interested in experiential marketing, community building, events, chief-of-staff, and other roles well suited for an intrapreneur.
- Starting a Scalable Startup. Some options I’m looking into. - Schools, Portfolio Management tool, Connection Management tool, and some others.
- Deal-Making: I am connecting investors to investments in all kinds of asset classes like Sports Teams, CRE, Energy, etc, and more lifestyle things like jets.
How you can help:
Intros to:
- People who design or host extraordinary experiences (events, retreats, gatherings)
- Chief-of-Staffs and operators inside fast-growing, healthy culture companies.
- Family Offices/Investors @ $100M+ deal size (sports, energy, CRE, Infrastructure, etc)
If you think of anyone I should meet, feel free to forward the short intro below:
Especially in NY!

• Helped run Jets & Capital events in Vegas, Miami, and New York, bringing together founders, investors, and family offices managing trillions in AUM.

I’d love your honest feedback or introductions — even one sentence would mean a lot.

P.S. I do not ask without being willing to give, if there’s something I can give you, let’s have a conversation.
P.P.S. If you’d rather receive this a different way, or not at all just reply - ‘Not my jam’ or ‘too busy’.
