Journal Entry: It’s been a week since my last update, and I owe you an honest explanation: I’ve been sidelined by intense pain in the wake of the public assassination of Charlie Kirk. May he rest in peace. It hit me harder than I could have imagined—a gut punch that left me reeling, questioning everything. In the quiet aftermath, staring at the void his loss carved out, I saw my own life reflected back: how small I’ve been playing the game, how I’ve let a victim mentality creep in and hold me back. No more. This tragedy isn’t just a headline; it’s a call to action, a reminder that silence isn’t safety—it’s surrender. Moving forward, I’m done holding back. I’m going to share more of my personal beliefs—the raw, unfiltered why behind what drives me. At the core is my conviction in America’s Holding Company, a system I’ve built because I believe it’s the key to pulling our country out of this mess. We’re divided, overwhelmed, and feeling powerless, but the fix starts with ownership. Real, tangible ownership in something bigger than ourselves. That’s why I created America’s Holding Company the way I did: so everyday individuals like you and me can step into shared assets, build wealth collectively, and reclaim our stake in the American dream. It’s not some abstract idea—there’s a lot that goes into how the system works, from the structure to the safeguards, and I’m not building it in silence anymore. I’m sharing it all now because it’s my mission to make a difference in as many lives as possible. By using my voice, putting my ideas and beliefs out there for the world to see, challenge, or embrace, I’m committing to the change I want to see. And Saturday marked a turning point: I turned 39. I see it as a rebirth, a new beginning where I put myself fully out there to drive societal change. No more playing safe. Life’s too fragile, too precious—Charlie’s story drives that home. A huge thank you to each of you for being part of this. By following my blog, engaging with my social content, you’re amplifying this message of love and unity through action. You’re helping me spread the word on using the systems around us as they’re designed—to create impact, foster ownership, and build a stronger us. God bless you and hold you close. Life is short, and no one knows when their time is up—let’s make every moment count. Here’s my challenge for you this week: reflect on one belief you’ve been holding back. Write it down, share it with someone, or post it somewhere public. What’s the “bigger than yourself” thing you could own or champion? Hit reply and let me know—I’d love to hear and stand with you in it. With renewed fire, Justin Stephens Budgeting Mindsets for Financial Freedom: A Point of View from Financial Coach Mia Rodriguez

Journal Entry: This week has been a game-changer for me, thanks to diving headfirst into time blocking. I’ve started using it for my entire life—not just work, but everything from family time to side hustles—and I’m feeling incredibly productive because of it. It’s like I’ve unlocked a new level of focus. I realized time blocking is exactly like budgeting in finance: if you don’t have a plan for where your money goes, it just disappears. The same goes for time—our most valuable asset. Without...
Journal Entry: This week has been excellent, and I feel like I’m really getting honed in on explaining and launching America’s Holding Company. I’ve started writing my blog directly about the mission I’m on and what I’m trying to accomplish—laying it all out there to inspire and invite others in. I’m starting to really use my voice to drive change, working on getting people to participate in that change, whether through ownership, action, or just engaging with the ideas. I feel very blessed...
Journal Entry: This week’s update is all about getting real with my life—gains, gaps, and the grind to make it all work. I had a great meeting with my parents, diving into the hard truth that I can’t juggle two full-time jobs forever. There just aren’t enough hours in the day, and it’s been wearing me down. So, we talked scheduling (something I’ve slacked on lately) and zeroing in on what’s truly important. It was eye-opening to list out my priorities and commit to them: Being a dad and...
