Published: February 1, 2026 I thought I understood money simply because I understood sales. And that mistake was expensive. I’ve lost a lot of money and gone through tons of unnecessary pain because I didn’t understand how ‘money systems’ actually work. In a previous edition I told you about a payment processing horror story... Today is the mechanics underneath it. This private newsletter is about sovereignty, which you only gain by understanding your options...Today’s edition is exactly that, and it won’t disappoint. This is the edition that I wish I had when I started my first business. Not another funnel breakdown or magic script -- just a clear explanation of the money systems operating underneath everything in business. 👉🏼 Learning how these systems work has completely changed how I think about wealth, opportunity, and leverage. (💡 NOTE: Skool, the platform we're on, uses this EXACT understanding of payment processing and is largely why they are valued so highly today). This edition is a technical breakdown of payment processing and banking infrastructure— and more importantly, WHY it matters to entrepreneurs like you. You’ll see: - how money really moves once a card is swiped - everyone who gets a cut on every transaction - and where missed opportunities exist that most entrepreneurs don’t even know to look for This isn’t about becoming a payments expert. It’s about understanding the layer of business that quietly effects everything - and will change the way you approach wealth building. If you read it and aren’t at least a little stunned by the trillions of dollars floating around and how easy it is to access, I’ll eat my words.

Do you enjoy books about learning to control your mind? Miracle of Mind Dynamics has surpassed 99% of the self-help books I've read - and I read.. A lot. Average about 1-2 books per week with high information retention at the same time. I will compare this book to Man's Search For Meaning, arguably, one the most influential books and quoted books of the last 100 years in self-help and philosophy. I am huge fan of Man's Search For Meaning, but upon reading Miracle of Mind Dynamics I prefer this one. It is far more practical in its analysis of the human mind, suffering, and meaning. Frankl gives you a profound existential frame: Suffering is unavoidable. Meaning is what that keeps you alive inside of it. Murphy gives you the actual tools: Here’s how to actually think when you’re inside the suffering so it doesn’t override your nervous system and your future. While Frankl tells you why meaning is important. Murphy tells you how to cultivate the mental conditions that allow meaning, peace, and momentum to emerge. -- Have you read this book?
