Five years ago, I was trapped. Not physically. Mentally.

I had ideas about the person I wanted to become—an athlete, a builder, someone who created things that mattered. But there was a gap between the vision and reality.

I grew up terrified of water. Literally couldn’t swim. I tried business multiple times. Failed. I had energy but no system. No leverage. No understanding of how to scale.

Then I read “The 4-Hour Body” by Tim Ferriss. A single idea stuck: You don’t need extraordinary genetics. You need an extraordinary system.

I decided to test this on something concrete: Learning to swim. If a system could override apparent inability in swimming, what else was possible?
