  • PMDM | Money, Hustle, and Freedom: Our Pursuit of Financial Independence

    In this episode, Felix reflects on the complex and relentless nature of money and its role in our lives. From the grind of earning to the challenges of saving, spending, and investing, money is an ever-present force, constantly shaping our daily actions. Felix acknowledges the evolution of money, from physical coins to digital currencies like Bitcoin, and the universal pursuit of financial freedom.
    He shares his personal journey, expressing gratitude for the steady income and progress he and his wife have made, but also acknowledging the continuous learning process that comes with managing finances. Despite the ups and downs, the ultimate goal is not just to earn money, but to build a meaningful life, provide for loved ones, and achieve balance—where the hustle doesn't overshadow humanity.

    Felix emphasizes the importance of valuing time and working smarter, not harder, while accepting the reality of financial inequality. The episode serves as a reminder that money is a tool, not the end goal. It's about growing together, supporting family, and striving for financial freedom without losing sight of what truly matters in life.

  • PMDM | Maya Angelou Said... | Some People Can Kick Rocks

    In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of those moments where patience runs out and people show you exactly who they are. Maya Angelou once said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them,” and man, was I reminded of that today. I talk about the frustration of trying to stay grounded while dealing with the reality of holding others accountable. Sometimes, it feels like the only option is to burn it all down. Join me as I vent, reflect, and ask what it really means to keep your peace when everything’s pushing you to your limits.
