Est. 2026 · Kansas City → Encarnación, Paraguay

A later-life reinvention, documented in real time.

I’m closing a decades-long practice, selling off most of what I own, and resettling on a small homestead in Paraguay. This is the field record — what it costs, what works, and what goes sideways — for anyone weighing the same leap later in life.

No gurus, no shortcuts, no hype. One man, two content lanes, openly connected — figuring out the move in public, stumbles left in.

the reset itself

Leaving the practice, divesting, the Paraguay move, and learning to build this whole operation online with an AI partner — no dev background, wrong turns included. Plain-spoken and honest.

02 / The anchor

The estate field ledger

Real numbers · eBay sold comps, not asking prices

The backbone of this whole project: I liquidated a full family estate and wrote down what actually happened — every item priced against real eBay sold listings, not hopeful asking prices. No theory, no estimates. Here’s the method and the math.

Item Category Sold-comp range Sold for
Mid-century dresserFurniture$xxx – $xxx$xxx
Pocket watch, gold-fillJewelry$xx – $xxx$xxx
