Hey, it’s Gabriel here again with this week's edition of Uncrowded strategies.
My weekly private notes on how to win in life! It covers🧪what I’m building, ❤️ how I’m growing my family, 💰my investment portfolio, and the weird things I’m doing to 🧬optimize my health this week.
All summarized so you can read it in under 2 minutes.
So why did I fire ChatGPT after 2 years? You’ll find out…
🧪 The Business Experiment
(Current Focus: The Viral Carousel Strategy)
I am currently going viral on Instagram, and it’s not because of high-production video. It’s Carousels. Thanks to my content coach.
You can check out my several of my post that has gone viral (at least 3.5M views now) on my IG page here
Most people overthink content creation. I’m finding that static, swipeable value is outperforming Reels right now.
The Uncrowded Strategy: Don't create from scratch.
1. Document: Document your story or take any reels you already posted that did pretty decent.
Example: Your origin story
2. Solidify: Turn that story into text. Or reuse your script if you already have it.
3. Teach: Break it down into 10-20 slides using images and text to tell the story or teach a lesson. We use Canva for that. Easy.
The Result: Higher engagement and save rates than video, with half the production effort.
Bonus: We also repurpose Carousel that did well into a video and vice versa, maximising the reach and engagement from ONE content idea
❤️ The Partnership (Marriage & Parenting)
In business, we all know the saying: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." (Proverbs 29:18) But for some reason, we leave our marriages to chance.
The Realization: My marriage is more important than my business. If my company has a "Vision Statement" to handle conflict and direction, my marriage needs one too.
The Challenge: Sit down with your spouse and ask: "What are we actually building here together?"
Our Vision (Zoey & Me):
To possess all our inheritance that Jesus' blood had paid for, and to be a shining light to others on how glorious marriage & intimacy could be with Christ in the center.
(You don't have to copy us, but you do need to have one. It aligns you when the inevitable conflicts happen.)
💰 The Portfolio
My Tesla ($TSLA) positions just hit All-Time Highs (spotted: Robotaxis running without safety drivers in Austin, Texas). This is the beginning of a new wave, but PE is trading at over 300, so I would exercise caution before adding more now. The price is purely based on the narrative of physical AI. Although the narrative is strong, if there are any black swan events, the price could fall 50%.
TSLA remains my biggest long-term holding, and I’ve held through many 50-70% crashes, so I’m just going to hold for now.
I’m also looking to increase my stake in Alphabet ($GOOG).
The Uncrowded Take: I wrote Google off last year. The bureaucracy was bad, and their AI launch was a disaster. Remember the "woke" image generator that, when you ask it to create a picture of the first U.S. president, instead produces a black man? (lol this actually happened).
But Why I'm Buying More Now:
* Founder Energy: Sergey Brin (Co-founder) is back in the trenches. The "red tape" culture is being dismantled. He is bringing the founder energy back.
* The Tech: I have officially converted my entire company from ChatGPT to Gemini 3 (Their latest model). It is simply better. It links to my Google Drive and Google Workspace, making data extraction much easier.
* The Moat: They have the data and the ecosystem. Gmail, Calendar, Maps, YouTube. They let OpenAI lead the first lap, but I expect Google to regain the lead next year or so.
Financially, they are also a cash printing machine, growing revenue, and onlya PE of 20+
🧬 The Protocol (Health & Weirdness)
The Experiment: 1 teaspoon of Psyllium Husk mixed with water, drink 10–15 minutes before every meal.
The Science:
The goal of longevity is managing inflammation. When you eat (especially carbs), your blood sugar spikes. This releases inflammatory molecules and causes that post-lunch "energy crash."
The Result: The husk acts as a fiber matrix in your gut. It blunts the glucose spike significantly.
* Immediate benefit: No afternoon energy crash.
* Long-term benefit: Less chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
As promised, value in 2 minutes…. Okay… maybe more for this week, but no fluff.
See you next week,
