Hey friends,

I’m on vacation right now, so I didn’t plan on writing any emails this week.

I’ve got nothing to sell you in this email...

But I feel the need to write something about what happened yesterday with the passing of Charlie Kirk.

There’s a lot of darkness in the world.

If you’re online, you’ve probably seen some of it.

If you open Reddit or even the wrong side of Twitter you will see people openly celebrating his death, mocking it, and even justifying it.

It’s disgusting behavior.

And honestly, it’s exactly why I believe so deeply in the power of building online with purpose.

Not everything is about chasing likes or printing money.

Social media isn’t just a vending machine for clout and cash.

That’s small thinking.

Every single thing you post - every word, every video, every email has a ripple effect.

When I started building here, it wasn’t to go viral.

It wasn’t to make money.

I started my online account during COVID. The world felt dark. The news was depressing. I just wanted to build something that helped people feel more optimistic. Something that reminded people that the world IS a good place.

And I think that’s why Charlie’s death hit so hard.

He believed in building something better and not burning everything down.

He wanted to change the system from within.

And that's what made him a REAL threat.

People don’t get assassinated because they’re grifters.

They get assassinated when they’re a danger to the narrative.

When they start changing minds. When they start waking people up.

So here’s my only ask:

Don’t get bitter. Don’t get jaded. Don’t let the hate win.

Keep building.

Keep showing up.

Keep spreading faith.

Keep spreading light.

Because the future of this country and the future of Western Civilization itself depends on whether or not you still believe there’s something worth saving.

That’s all I’ve got to say...
