The Eagle And The Condor: A Prophesy That Has Decided The Next 10 Years Of My Life
You will think I'm coo coo after reading this one.
In the summer, and again last month, I went on a business retreat in Costa Rica. I’ve made a sizable investment in a business there, and through the experience, I’ve met some amazing people.
One of these people is a Ph.D. clinician who is also a psychedelic guide.
During this trip, this man (we’ll call him Michael) introduced me to the prophecy of the eagle and the condor. The prophecy originates from the Amazon, and it states that humanity will split into two paths: the path of the eagle and the path of the condor.
The eagle represents northern culture, the mind, industrialism, finance, and masculine energy. The condor represents the heart, intuition, nature, ceremony, and feminine energy.
The prophecy states that in the 1490s, we would enter a time when the eagle people would wipe out the condor people, and this extinction event would last until the 1990s. Then, in the 1990s, the two would come together and build a unified world that blends the mind and the heart, the masculine and the feminine, industrialism with nature, and intuition with logic.
I can’t say that I believe in prophecies, although I can clearly see the real-world events that support this one. I think it’s a story, and humans need stories to survive.
Nonetheless, this prophecy completely rocked my world in a way I never expected.
In today’s issue, I will tell you the story of how the eagle and the condor wrote my path for the next ten years in business and life.
LET’S. FUCKING. GO. 🔥
Somatic Jules and the Introduction of Breathwork
To tell you this story, I first need to tell you about my wife. Juliana. 🥰
In past issues, I’ve shared my wife’s terrible struggle with eating disorders and how breathwork and plant medicines have healed her in ways that clinical, westernized treatments never could.
Through this journey, my wife dedicated herself to becoming a breathwork practitioner. If you’ve never heard of breathwork, you need to learn about it.
Breathwork is the practice of using your own breath to empower yourself. There are many different types of breathwork, including meditative, performative, and even psychedelic practices. With a guide, you can do breathing exercises that bypass the monkey mind and bring you into the deepest parts of yourself.
Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools I’ve ever discovered. It’s incredible how much power we each have within us, accessible simply by using our breath.
If you’ve never experienced it, it’s hard to explain, but the benefits of breathwork are infinite. It’s something we all need.
P.S. If you’d like to give it a shot, join us for a virtual breathwork journey. It’s $27, and I guarantee you will be beyond grateful you did this.

My Quest for Clarity, Focus, and Guidance
2024 has been one of the hardest years of my life. I’ve hinted at big changes in my newsletter, but I haven’t been able to go into detail.
This year has been filled with uncertainty, doubt, lack of direction, confusion, and sadness. Not since I got sober have I been so unsure of myself and what I want out of life.
I get it—I have everything. My family is perfect. I own two houses. I’m a millionaire. I kick ass in business and do what I love every day. I have no complaints about how my life turned out. It’s just that over this year, there have been so many changes that I’ve struggled to see a vision for my life. What I always thought I wanted suddenly wasn’t important anymore.
Having kids changes things. Seemingly overnight, I was no longer willing to tolerate the levels of stress I once could. I started reliving traumas from my upbringing and having flashbacks.
Honestly, I’m not willing to go too deep into what was happening because it’s personal, and it’s not helpful to put it online. The point is, this confusion left me with a strange void regarding my future.
I’ve always known exactly what I want out of life. My goals have always been written out and connected to timelines. I know how to get what I want. But what happens when you don’t know what you want? It’s been a mindfuck, for sure.
My Breathwork Session with Jules
Yesterday, Jules guided me on a breathwork journey of my own.
Before each session, Jules spends time discussing intentions. I told her I wanted to find clarity. She asked me to expand, and I said:
“I have a lot of great projects going on, but it’s hard to find one thing to focus on. My mind has been all over the place, and I know I thrive best when I have clear focus.”
She thanked me for sharing, and we began the journey.
At first, I saw my son. I felt the immense importance of the father-son relationship. I felt overwhelming pride and gratitude for being a father and raising a boy into a man. I could see him playing, hear him laughing, and picture his long blonde hair flowing as he ran in circles with his matchbox cars.
As I went deeper into the journey, I started seeing patterns of sacred geometry.
Suddenly, the prophecy of the eagle and the condor came to me. I left my body and began seeing the outline for my future.
This is where it gets crazy.
Hunting as an Eagle
I saw all the ideas I’ve had and the new direction I want to go. I saw my hesitancy and limiting beliefs. I saw myself as the eagle.
I’ve lived in the intense, analytical world of business, consumed by analytics, conversion metrics, ROI, and tech. It made sense that I would feel comfortable next to the eagle.
The new brand I’m launching is an AI community. I’m going to create a community product that shows people how to use AI to build businesses, streamline automations, and turn ideas into cash. I’ve been obsessed with AI for the last year and am finally ready to start.
This bald eagle was flying next to me. I could see its eyes and noticed how laser-focused its vision was. It was a hunter, stalking prey from above and striking with precision.
I felt comfortable, but I still felt incomplete.
Note* - It isn’t lost on me that I’m born and raised in Philly and am your typical, aggressive, and overly emotional Eagles fanatic.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅
Soaring as a Condor
Then, without warning, I was flying next to an enormous, beautiful condor.
Condors fly differently. They soar at higher altitudes. They do not hunt but instead they eat as scavengers. They recycle the energy of the ecosystem back into it. Their vision scans the entire landscape rather than focusing on individual targets.
The condor showed me what I had been missing. It revealed why I felt unsettled and “half-full.” The reason was clear: I had been ignoring the spiritual energy of business, life, family, and resources. I have been ignoring my feminine energy.
I felt the condor’s enormous wingspan, its patience, and its ability to stay above the landscape and find what comes to it. It was beautiful.
I saw that I need to bring the condor into my life and business. The answers came to me, showing what I need to do to build the future that has been eluding me.
What This Looks Like, Specifically
By the end of the journey, my body felt hot. Jules brought me back down with nose breathing and guided me into a grounded state.
Then I had the answers to everything I have been unsure about.
I’m ready to launch TheShop.AI.
The website is still in development, but at its core, The Shop will be an AI marketing community. We will launch a weekly newsletter, a membership community, workshops, expert insights, and instructional videos to teach people how to use AI to market their businesses and increase revenue.
I’ve been working on this for months but was afraid to go all in. Now I’m ready. I’m embracing the eagle.
I’m also going all in on breathwork and plant medicines. I
feel grateful to join my wife on her mission. She has found her gift in healing people through breathwork and coaching. People need this. People are hurting, and our westernized methods of treatment aren’t working. We need to reintroduce the condor into society. I’m thrilled to be led by her as we introduce this business to the world. Somatic Jules is going to transform lives.
Mentally and Emotionally Finding Clarity
After my breathwork journey, the nagging insecurities and doubts disappeared. This is the hard part to explain, but the clarity I gained was profound.
I’ll continue to work with my clients, who I love.
I’ll build my portfolio and bring in new clients, but only for high-paying projects in exciting industries that offer investment opportunities.
I’ll slow down and prioritize my mental health, emotional well-being, and somatic work with Juliana.
Lastly, I’m going all in on my personal brand. I want to grow my newsletter, get back to my podcast, write a book, and do speaking gigs.
It feels really good to write that down. Somehow I’ve always known what I want to do, but I needed the guidance of the condor to show me how.
There’s Beauty in the Struggle
One of the gifts I’ve received from sobriety is the concept of embracing the struggle. In recovery communities, there’s a saying: “This too shall pass.” No matter what you’re going through, whether positive or negative, it will pass.
That phrase has helped me through tough times. I can’t remember the last time I felt so down on myself, yet I had my higher power and design for living to guide me. I always knew this experience would make me stronger. Somehow, a better version of myself would emerge through the cocoon of pain and discomfort.
If you’re going through hell, keep going.
I’m ready. Let’s go.
Love you guys. Talk to you tomorrow.
