It’s been more than 2 years since I wrote my last newsletter. My last post, dated April 2021, was basically the top of the last bull market. A lot has changed since then…
One thing that hasn’t changed is that I still hold all my crypto. I’m sure you’ll accuse me of being a perma-bull, but I’m expecting Bitcoin to reach $80k by the end of March 2024. But my crypto predictions is not the purpose of this post.
The purpose is to let you know what I’m doing now, and invite you to come along if interested. If not, you can stop reading now!
Here’s the update - I just bought a small business called Anderson Investigations, a process serving business. I’m starting a brand new newsletter documenting my journey of this process. This has been a goal of mine for over 5 years, so this is a big accomplishment for me. The business is small, I paid less than $400k.

Now, if you’re still with me, I will give you a sypnosis of the last 2 years of my life, I promise it’s not a boring story…
From June 2021 to June 2023, my wife and I left Utah and traveled the world. We first spent a month in Guatemala, followed by a week in Huntington Beach, CA with my family followed by a week in San Francisco visiting all the places I loved when I lived there from 2014 to 2018.
Then we took off to Europe for 3 months where we spent time in Southern France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Malta, Turkey and even Egypt (which I know is not Europe). While in Turkey we spent 3 weeks working with Syrian refugees. These three months were absolutely incredible. The best part was Covid was still lingering enough to scare off a majority of the tourists. We felt like we had Venice and the Sistine Chapel to ourselves.
We came back home for Christmas, but right after we took off again to Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Peru. We decided that Costa Rica is overrated, Puerto Rico is the the combination of Mexico and Hawaii. The beauty of Hawaii at the prices of Mexico. Also, if you haven’t been to Colombia, you’re missing out! It’s the Europe (gorgeous wise) of South America.
We eventually had to end our travels since crypto had crashed more than I could have ever expected and we needed to go get jobs. This led us to Las Vegas where I joined a crypto startup. That stint only lasted 4 months until the FTX crash that caused the startup to not be able to raise a Series A, so I was laid off.
As low a point that was June 2022 for crypto prices, getting laid off felt even worse. I had had enough and was willing to try just about anything to stop the self loathing and depression. By the beginning of 2023, I found a practitioner who assists people with microdosing mushrooms. Long story short, 3 months of microdosing completely changed my life. It cured my depression and started me on a journey of self discovery and mindset shifting.
Now at the end of 2023, my wife and I were able to buy a cute little house in our dream neighborhood in Sugar House (Salt Lake City) Utah. Buy my dream car (2016 Lexus RX), and accomplish my 5 year goal of buying a business.
It’s definitely been a whirlwind and I’m excited for the next adventure. If you’re at all interested in following along, you can do so HERE.
All the best,
Spencer
