At the age of 16, I began playing online poker with $50. A year later, I'd turned it into over $100,000.
At the age of 19, I had become one of the strongest heads-up no-limit Hold'em players in the world, a sponsored poker pro, and a self-made millionaire. I quickly learned that money does not produce happiness.
At the age of 21, I permanently retired from poker. I haven't played a hand since then.
At 23, I wrote a best-selling poker book about the philosophy of poker. I then gave away all of the money I'd saved up as a poker player, about half a million dollars, and started over with $10K.
At 25, I decided to earn-to-give (to pursue a lucrative career so I can donate more to charity). I'd always been interested in technology and software engineering. So I moved to San Francisco and joined a top 12-week coding bootcamp.
8 weeks into the bootcamp, they asked if I'd help teach it. I said yes. Then a couple months later they asked me to be Director of Product, and I said yes to that too.
About a year later I got a job as a software engineer at Airbnb, where I worked on payments fraud.
About a year after that, I left to go chase the blockchain. Yes, I'm now an annoying blockchain person. Sorry in advance.
Today I'm an investor at Dragonfly Capital. I write, I invest, I code, and I drive myself mad. I give away 1/3rd of my pre-tax income to charity.
I'm not all work though! The fun* stuff: I eat a paleo diet, drink nothing but water, adore stand-up comedy, train Crossfit, have given up on meditating every day (you should try it!), and I only belong to clubs that would have someone like me for a member. Which is very few.
* note: not actually fun
