I didn't think I would be taking these professional jumps at my age — but here I am, rewriting my own rulebooks on life.

I've been using Stark Black for almost a year — standalone for the first four cycles, then in a custom with Mogul. When I started, I was a C-level executive at a large financial organization, managing several billion dollars in risk. By my fourth cycle, I was asked to join an advisory board for a VC Fund. By my seventh, I went from advisor to partner, overseeing an entire sector of the fund. My discretionary investments with two partners became far more strategic — the returns on a few plays were so ludicrous I won't even post the details. I've also been invited to speak at a government conference in Europe, and am actively building a formal partnership with that country's government to identify startup deal flow. The biggest realization is that I haven't even scratched the surface of my potential. I know this as factually as I know the sun will rise tomorrow. I'm 48 this year — and I'm rewriting my own rulebooks on life.
