You’ve not heard of this before, but you should:

I’m sitting in a room feeling grateful with 1400 entrepreneurs from 70+ countries at MegaSuccess - the 20th time JT Foxx has created this event. Twenty times.

Twenty. Times.

This is the ultimate example of the Currency of Presence.

In other words, showing up compounds like interest.

You know how many times most people commit to anything? Once. Maybe twice if the parking’s free.
But here’s JT on stage for the twentieth iteration of his vision, and here I am - along with so many others - choosing to spend five days away from our businesses, our clients, and our couches to be in this room.

Presence compounds. Show up once? You’re a face in the crowd. Show up twice? “Oh, I remember you!” Show up for years? You’re family. You’re the person they call first. You’re in the room when the real opportunities happen - not because you’re the smartest or the richest, but because you were there. Repeatedly. Consistently.

And this might be the most uncomfortable part: The same math applies to your actual family. Your marriage. Your kids. Your friends.

You can’t show up to your marriage once a year on your anniversary, throw some flowers at it, and wonder why the connection feels transactional. You can’t be present for your kids only when it’s convenient and expect them to open up when it matters. You can’t text your real friends twice a year and call it a relationship.

Presence compounds there too. Or the absence of it does.

People notice when you show up. When you’re actually there, not just physically present while mentally reviewing emails on your phone.

JT didn’t build this and his entire empire by showing up once. He built it by showing up twenty times. More than twenty times. With all the travel headaches, all the logistics nightmares, all the moments when it would’ve been easier to quit and start something newer and shinier.

So let me ask you something:
Where are you showing up once when you should be showing up twenty times?

What business community are you dabbling in instead of committing to?
What marriage are you maintaining instead of investing in? What kids are of being (or mot being) present with?
What friendships are you “keeping up with” via social media instead of actually nourishing?

I manage 9-figure wealth dally. I’ve been doing this for a very very long time. And I can tell you with absolute certainty: The best investment most people never make isn’t in XYZ stock or real estate or the S&P 500.

It’s in consistent presence. In the rooms that matter. With the people who matter.

In business AND in life.

You can’t outsource it. You can’t automate it. You can’t phone it in from Zoom while you’re “multitasking.”

Presence compounds. But only if you keep making deposits.

I have good news, and I have bad news.

Good news: That wasn't your child who called asking you to wire money for the "emergency." Your actual child is fine, probably scrolling TikTok somewhere safe.

Bad news: Someone just cloned their voice using three seconds of audio from their Instagram story, so that they could call you in a panic about a car accident in another state.

Welcome to 2025, where your voice, your face, and your identity are all just data points waiting to be weaponized.

AI doesn't need to hack your bank account anymore. It just needs to *sound like you* when it calls your financial advisor.

Here's what makes high net worth individuals especially delicious targets:

- You have more to steal (obviously)
- You have complex financial structures with multiple parties who "authorize" things
- You have a staff, advisors, and family members who can be impersonated or manipulated
- You often have a public profile that makes researching you absurdly easy

And the attack source isn't some hoodie-wearing hacker in a basement anymore. It's AI that can study your speech patterns from that podcast interview, it can know your family structure from LinkedIn, and other places.

It can call your assistant at 4:47 PM on a Friday—when people are tired and want to go home—and sound *exactly like you* asking for a wire transfer.

Does your advisor have a strategy for what happens when someone who sounds precisely like you calls them and says "I need you to move $500,000 today, to this other account I just set up“?

Because this is very possible right now: someone, somewhere, could have the ability to train an AI on your voice. Cataloging your patterns. So they can industrialize fraud at a scale that makes the Nigerian prince emails look quaint.

This is the cost of living in a world where technology moves faster than humans can adapt. Your brain still thinks "if it sounds like my daughter, it IS my daughter."

I want you to understand that your brain can be wrong.

So here's my question for you: **Is your financial advisor even talking about this?**

Because if they're not, they're solving yesterday's problems while tomorrow's problems are actively focusing on how to get at your accounts.

Sleep well.

Your thoughts below? 👇

A few days ago, I had the privilege of speaking at the . Yes, that Sydney Opera House. The same guy who used to practice fake TED talks in his bathroom mirror as a kid “just in case” finally made it to this iconic stage.

First, I want to thank & for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m grateful.

Now here’s where this post may get uncomfortably relatable for you (comment below if this hits):

Standing there, talking to a wall of blinding lights that had 500+ people behind it, I kept thinking about the version of me who used to see posts like this and think “must be nice to have a fairy godmother.” Well guess what: there’s no fairy godmother. There’s just you, deciding whether to stay comfortable in a small story or write a bigger one.

The Opera House has great acoustics, yet I still wore one of those fancy wraparound microphones, which meant there was absolutely nowhere to hide if my voice cracked or if I forgot what I was saying mid-sentence (both happened, for the record). Made me wonder how much of life I’ve spent hiding in smaller rooms because I was terrified of being found out in bigger ones.

I still don’t really know what makes someone “ready” for a stage like this. Maybe nobody ever feels ready? Maybe that kid who thought these stages were reserved for “other people” was right—except he didn’t get the memo that he was eligible to join the “other people” club, too.

Maybe the lesson here is that gap between where you are and where you want to be is smaller than it looks? Or maybe I’m just overthinking what was essentially a once-in-a-lifetime moment that I’ll never ever forget. (Shocking, I know—me, overthinking something.)

One thing for sure, standing on that stage really hit me with how much power I’ve been giving to the word ‘someday.’

Someday is the most popular destination that doesn’t exist. I realized how regularly I plan my ‘someday’ itinerary, while true stages in life (literal or metaphorical) keep showing up every single day, usually disguised as “stage appearances” that could change everything.

Either way, that bathroom mirror kid would probably be pretty surprised.
