Starting over? Start here.

A framework for rebuilding when everything resets. What to do first, what to build, and how to keep moving.

From the build

22 months ago I had zero coding experience and everything was falling apart.
Now: 27 projects, 14 deployed, building full-time with AI.

This page is for anyone starting over.
Not theory — a framework from someone who did it.

The Rebuild Timeline

Sept 2023: Started over — new chapter, new direction
March 2024: First line of code — zero experience
Sept 2024: Published 100 AI-generated books

2036: Gold Bugatti for his 16th birthday

Why I Build

Three kids. A vision that won't let me sleep.
Products that solve real problems for real people.

I build because forward motion is the only direction that makes sense.
Not because I have to prove something. Because I genuinely can't stop.

The fuel

My 5yo wants a gold Bugatti.
My daughter wants a farm with horses.
My oldest just wants to feed cows in peace.

That Bugatti? He's getting it. Mark the date: 2036.

The Hardest Parts

Starting over from zero — no code, no revenue, no plan (done)
Learning to build while managing everything alone (done)
Navigating the legal system without an attorney (done)
Shipping products before feeling ready (done)
Filing bankruptcy as a strategic reset (done)
Scaling to sustainable revenue
Building the team

I'm through the worst of it.
Now it's just patience and building.

The Sovereignty Checklist

You don't need to be stable to start. You need to start to become stable. Check these off as you go.

What Nobody Tells You

You can build world-class products with zero funding and zero experience
AI is the great equalizer — it doesn't care about your background or your bank account
Staying calm under pressure isn't spiritual — it's strategic
Build your own thing — your contributions to someone else's dream won't be recognized
Financial resets aren't endings — they're strategic repositioning
Your constraints are your advantage — they force clarity and eliminate waste
The legal system works if you document everything — let the evidence speak

The build continues.

27 projects. 14 deployed. Three kids watching their dad build something from nothing.
That's the lesson they'll carry — not what happened to us, but what we built after.
