A worthwhile read:

A father congratulated his daughter on her graduation, gifting her a car he had purchased earlier. 'First, take it to a city car dealer and see how much they'll offer for it,' he instructed. The dealer offered $10,000, citing its age. Next, he told her to visit a pawn shop, where the offer was $1,000 due to needed repairs. Finally, he advised joining a car enthusiast club, where experts valued the rare, well-maintained vehicle at $100,000. The father concluded, 'If you're not valued, you're in the wrong place. Know your worth and where you're appreciated. Don't stay where your value isn't recognized.'

SOOOOO my fellow CRYPTO lovers!!!!
What if ELON MUSK is the creator of SHIB and is preparing to buy and burn ALL the SHIB coins in circulation? 🤷‍♂️ I reckon that would be off the chain 🤯... or should I say, “off the collar?” 😂🤪🤙

*this is not advice, just my theory!

Anyone been told “You Can’t make 💰 in Crypto❓”
Anyone been told “You Can’t” in any part of life❓

📣 Launching on April 1; a Podcast:
Slap “You Can’t” in the Face!

YES, launching on April Fools day, to “Slap the Fools in the face”

Today I opened my physical coins and felt an overwhelming since of happiness, but my happiness is predicated in achieving my #1 goal: I’m chasing success to be able to DO MORE FOR OTHERS!

Backstory on crypto and podcast:

Since 2021, when I jumped in, I’ve heard people say “crypto is fake, never will take off, or won’t make you money”…… and I’ve had plenty of people tell me “you can’t” or “you won’t be successful doing” whatever…….

As for crypto being real or folks not being able to make money, this is not true at all and “in my, and many others opinion” this will be the newest sector of the S&P….. so buckle up! It is true that it’s hard to make money in crypto, BUT, by being told “I couldn’t” I took it upon myself to learn how it all works by reading, watching videos, creating test wallets, creating cold wallets, then learned how the programs are written, what they different types are achieving and lastly how to buy before them BEFORE they become mainstream…….. Bitcoin for instance is definitely here to stay as well as a few other very well established cryptocurrencies. Then, there are definitely some existing and yet to come that “CAN” make you very wealthy if you take the risk…….. BUT….. as any risk, you can lose it all as well. 🤪

Then, I am sure plenty of people will be able to relate to the other aspect of what’s coming in my upcoming podcast………. I plan to talk about, and to folks that have been told “it couldn’t be done” or told “you won’t be successful.” My plan is to start small and grind it out. Then, the bigger the podcast gets, I HOPE to eventually interview folks like Elon Musk, CEOs of various Biotechs, Small Business Owners, and lots and lots of people in general that have blown up all over the world, but ESPECIALLY in the Shen Valley! For the record, Blowing Up doesn’t always mean financial success; it just means making a difference in a big way against the odds of not being supported or believed in. AND, as aforementioned I also plan to use the platform to talk about crypto!

So……. buckle up! We launch in less than 22 days! 🙌

Top Investment of 2023: AD Engineering LLC

Check out AD Engineering! www.ad.engineering

When I founded BFAM in 2019, it was my goal to invest in businesses, but more importantly to listen to, believe in, and then invest in AMAZING PEOPLE! So, in the spring of 2023, I took a chance on a high school Best Friend that I think is brilliant; his name is Ashley Driver!

A lot of you know this young man, but what makes Ashley different and special is the fact that he can do it all: All aspects of the manufacturing line was designed by him, he’s working to patent aspects of the line that are unique and far more innovative than current industry. He then led and performed most of the construction of the fabricated components and equipment himself. Ashley, Jasmine and BFAM employees have worked to establish the business, startup the manufacturing lines, and AD Engineering is now delivering coast to coast with near term plans to expand inside VA and in other key states.

It would not be a proper shout out if we didn’t recognize nor, would the business even exist, without his amazing partner in crime that believed in him, has established many aspects of the business, and who continues to be a force from within while raising their children. She is Jasmine Hardesty Driver, and Ashley is lucky to call her his amazing wife!

BFAM continues to support AD Engineering within the day-to-day operation and is working with Ashley to recruit and build out other types of manufacturing within the 40K sqft facility in Quicksburg, VA. We are actively in talks with both food and biotech companies; hoping to create more jobs and hire more amazing people from within the communities of the Shenandoah Valley!

Check out this interview with AD Engineering! If you’re in the HVAC space, reach out today for an introduction to your new line set manufacturer!

I also want to recognize Shenandoah County Virginia & the Shenandoah County Economic Development for being great partners to AD Engineering & BFAM! We look forward to a collaborative future!

Much love!
