The path

Many lifetimes in one.

I founded an investment firm, have experienced many lifetimes in one, and realized my dreams exactly as planned.

My parents left Somalia before the war, and the family was doing well - as they historically have been. Through them, I witnessed what a single moment of state collapse can do to erode centuries of power and prestige, the juxtaposition gave me a unique perspective.

  1. Decided to pursue business at university.
  2. Started trading.
  3. Quit a part-time job to trade full time.
  4. Made my first million trading options on biotech stocks, and founded Regal Investments.
  5. Began research and development on Masterboard AI.
  6. Masterboard AI was operational and in R&D.
  7. Regal Investments launched Startup Stars following its WAVs AI exit.
  8. Leading Regal Investments, building Masterboard's App Builder, and consulting through Royal Blackstar.

Purpose and prosperity

A pragmatic approach to manifestation.

I was born with a mission that precedes me, and I'm steadfast on a path to accomplish it.

Purpose and prosperity are the subjects I return to most. I enjoy the challenge of reconciling spirituality and logic, as a practicioner of both.

A note on Volume One

The Handbook hunt: public record.

Volume One hid twelve words across its pages. Together they formed the seed phrase to a wallet holding 20 BTC. The hunt closed on 8 July 2026 and nobody had assembled the full phrase. Readers who spent time and money on it are entitled to see the evidence, so here is what is public and what I will publish.

  • Wallet balancePublic and verifiable on the blockchain. Check it yourself.
    Published
  • Wallet typeA custom seed phrase wallet, not BIP-39. It is not built on Electrum, but Electrum is the easiest way to load it.
