about
Hi, I’m Vali. Ordinary guy, chasing extraordinary growth. Follower of Jesus, husband, dad, and builder of experiments. I’ve failed often — in fact, I’ve failed at almost everything. From running an affiliate business that once made $25,000 in a single month… down to barely scraping over $1,000 now. But I keep fumbling forward, laughing, and learning along the way. This site is where I share that ride.
What I Believe
Life is short, fragile, and precious. I believe God created us with purpose — to love Him, love people, and leave the world better than we found it. I don’t have it all figured out (far from it), but I’ve learned that faith, family, and growth are worth building life around.
What I’m Doing Here
This site is part journal, part workshop, part public experiment. I share what I’m learning about:
Faith & Character — living with God at the center.
Health & Habits — building the daily practices that fuel everything else.
Work & Wealth — approaching creativity and business with meaning, not just money.
Leadership — not about titles, but influence and discipleship.
Out of this came something I call Life by Design: 7 Pillars that help me keep life on track (most days). It’s not a checklist, it’s a compass. And I’m trying to live it before I ever try to teach it.
Why Share Publicly?
Because growth compounds when it’s shared. By writing, recording, and putting my experiments out here, I stay accountable — and maybe help someone else along the way. I’m not presenting myself as an expert, just a fellow traveler trying to get better at life.
A Few Random Facts
I don’t drink coffee, but I love the smell.
I’m raising five kids — which means life is never quiet and never boring.
I ran an affiliate website that went from $25,000 a month at its peak… to just over $1,000. (Failure has been one of my best teachers.)
I’ve been obsessed with domain names (and building things online) for years.
I talk to myself out loud sometimes… and occasionally win the argument.
My Hope for You
If you walk away from this site with anything, I hope it’s this: you were made for more. You’re not too old, too young, too late, or too far gone to grow. Every step forward counts. Every failure can be redeemed. Every small habit compounds into transformation.
Don’t quit on yourself. Don’t bury your potential. Keep learning, keep building, keep becoming. With God at the center, your life can shine brighter than you ever imagined.
Build a life by design, not by accident — and leave behind a story worth telling.
