Come to Mexico City!
If you're an entrepreneur making 6/7 figures, there's no better group to join.
I've been in the Dynamite Circle for over a decade and it's changed my life.
It's like summer camp for online entrepreneurs - we takeover the hotel and have a blast.

🇪🇸 Our Barcelona chapter had an event just last weekend, with over 20 entrepreneurs meeting up for masterminds, amazing Catalan cuisine, and outdoor activities.
Check out all events for 2025 here: dynamitecircle.com/events

This weekend we're closing down applications to DC Accelerator, a program designed to help companies grow faster.
60+ companies have already applied, our team is excited about all the talented founders joining us.
We get started in June. If you're curious, book a call with us (link to info in bio).

Dynamite Circle Playa Del Carmen event was great - wish I could have stayed longer.
Caught up with friends, learned some stuff, and heard great stories.
Strong recommend for any other online entrepreneurs wanting community and encouragement scaling their biz.

I built my business while traveling the world for 7 years.
I definitely would have been more productive if I stayed in 1 location...
But that's the tradeoff I was willing to take.
You don't always need to prioritize the fastest growth.
Play your own game.

Stoked to get the chance to be on stage at the Dynamite Circle's Playa del Carman event in May, courtesy of the @TropicalMBA crew.
Long time listener, and stoked to get involved in the community more!

I'm hiring a producer!
If you know somebody who’s creative, loves podcasts, and would like to work with me on a daily basis (remotely), please share this tweet with them.
We’re hiring a producer for the Tropical MBA podcast.
We’ve been publishing episodes nearly every Thursday since 2009.
Our goal is to highlight lifestyle business concepts and the founders who bring them to life through their businesses built outside of the traditional silicon valley scripts.
Our listeners love business, but also traveling, hobbies, and spending time with friends and family.
If you know somebody who’d can help the TMBA reach its full potential, we’ve love to hear from them.
Here’s the job post:

Woke up a 5AM last week to nab a ticket to DCxLondon 2024.
Sold out in less than an hour! (100 spots). Incredible work by our hosts.

10 days ago we opened applications for a DC-like community reserved for founders actively operating 7 and 8 figure businesses.
So far we have received over 60 *qualifying* applications.
The largest company has projected $50,000,000 in sales in 2023.
9 companies had over $10,000,000 in sales in 2022.
11 companies had over $4,000,000 in sales in 2022.
The average revenue of applying companies is $4,900,000.
The average # of employees is 14.
The most common business models are:
-Ecommerce
-SaaS
-Agency
-Service Provider
Some others: marketplace, fund, digital publishing.
Some common challenges we’ve observed so far:
deploying capital effectively, staffing and scaling teams, navigating macro economic changes, growing a business while also being a good parent, partner, person.
We’re looking for a few more companies to join us in our founding group.
If you know somebody who’d be a good fit, we’d love it if you’d send them our way (my DM's are open!).

And just like that, the kickstarter for my new book is live. 🚀🚀
(If you do nothing else, check out the awesome video that Producer Ron spent hours hand-crafting)
I'm hoping to crush the funding goal today. Your support and RTs appreciated!

I have mixed feelings on FIRE. Got on train when I was 25. Got off at 38.
On one hand, helped build $$ to do what I’m doing now.
On other hand, kept me in jobs I didn’t love & created mindset of scarcity.
Better path = find work you enjoy & will lead to FI. RE is overrated.

Incredible group of Dynamite Circle member-led meetups happening today.
This is our largest amount of monthly entrepreneurial hangs since COVID.
If you're a DCer, head out today or help us host one in your city next month!
(Currently adding San Diego and Phuket).

Starting this week, we're uploading our podcast episodes to Youtube.
Nobody sent me the memo.
