Every time I held him, I'd pull him close, look straight into his eyes, and say the words: "I love you, bro." Every. Single. Time.

21 years wasn't enough. 💔

My little brother lived inside my biggest dreams. For years, I'd bring him to offices where billions moved through my hands but never stayed. He'd sit quietly, watching, believing in promises I whispered between meetings: "One day, I'm building something of our own."

Even when exhaustion had me questioning everything, he'd hit me with that smile: "Nah bro, you got it. This is what you do!" He remembered who I was before corporate life dimmed my fire. The records I set in Wake Forest's weight room. The mountains I moved when they said I couldn't.

Now he's gone. This city that was supposed to witness our rise took him in an instant. Random. Senseless. Final.

I cry every morning. Then at 4 AM, I walk through darkness toward the only therapy that makes sense. By 5 AM, I'm under the bar, channeling grief into gravity. He knew me as an absolute dog in the weight room – someone who never backed down from impossible weight. Now I'm reclaiming that savage he remembered. Every rep resurrects the athlete corporate life buried.

Sweetgrass Capital launches this month. Not another wealth management firm – a movement. Weaving wisdom into wealth, just like I promised him. Bringing institutional strategies to people who've been locked out. The empire he always believed I'd build.

I can't hold him anymore. Can't look into his eyes. But I can honor every promise whispered between those sacred hugs. I can build what he believed in.

Every decision, every client, every breakthrough – it's all for him. Through him. Because of him.

Some build for money. Others for fame. I build because stopping would mean breaking the last promise I can still keep. 🕊️

Who are you building for? Don't wait to tell them you love them. Don't wait to keep your promises.

Time isn't guaranteed. Purpose is. 🖤
