Running an agency, a startup, and a supplement brand at 22

People ask how I manage it. The honest answer: I don't "manage" it in any traditional sense. I just keep building and let systems handle the rest.

• Open source: tokburn. Dev tools for the AI coding era.

Why multiple things

Because each one teaches me something the others can't. The agency taught me operations. The supplement brand taught me e-commerce and supply chains. The startup is where all of it converges.

 agency      ──▶  operations, client work, ops cadence
 supplement  ──▶  e-commerce, supply, retention
 startup     ──▶  where everything compounds

I'm not diversified for safety. I'm diversified for learning speed.

What actually makes it work

1. Systems, not effort. If something requires my daily attention, it's broken.
2. Ship fast, fix later. Perfectionism is the enemy of running multiple things.
3. Say no to most things. The portfolio looks wide but I say no to 10x more than I say yes to.

I'm 22. I'll look back on this and probably cringe. But right now, it's working.
