“Taking a shortc I think I have a propensity to go fast, and it's good in like tech ways, but it's bad in life ways. And there will be opportunities that come from the media, from podcasts, from being out of jail, and it's not taking a shortcut. It's like, don't get distracted by the glittery lights in some opportunity that ultimately represents a shortcut.”

“Not really. I didn't know how in depth we were going to go. I'm glad I didn't really know because if I knew the structure and the questions, I don't think I'd go to sleep last night. I'm glad I came in a little blind I've done three podcasts so far. I did the first one maybe two weeks ago, and then I filmed the second one this morning. Which is fun. And then, like, I guess I kind of came in thinking this would be more jovial. So I'm really, really glad I didn't know the depth of this because I would have been super nervous and definitely not have slept yesterday.”

“I think the beauty that we all have in some capacity is time, right? And it's the patience too. Like, I don't need anything from anybody listening to this. I just hope that in 20 or 30 years, we can look back upon this conversation or snippet to this conversation and said, oh yeah, like, oh, this came true, or oh, there's where you messed up or there's where you did a good job. I think it's just like documenting the journey and allowing time to run its course and time reveals all, right?”

“The human aspect took me some time, and I think I kind of like viewed the end of my sentence as a fresh start. It's like August 30th came. I kind of like had a separate from the people I'd been around for just over four years at that point and start reconnecting with old friends and new people. That's been a challenge. I think I've got a really great small group right now, but it's a struggle to survive. I have no money. I'm trying to earn whoever I can and just like get consulting, marketing, you know, media jobs and just doing my best, but it's not going to happen in six months or nine months. It's going to take time.”

“Stress is there and Literally been three and a half months, right? And it's like How do I deal with this? I think one of the toughest things for me when I first got out of jail, it was in like a halfway house program for a number of months. And the first people that kind of came to me were people who I had met in prison and they were trying to essentially like, you know, partner with me and getting close. And as I learned more about those people over time, it's been more of like separating myself from them and is like building and rebuilding with old friends and new friends as well.”

“It sounds like it. I'm not aware of any charges that I have. Anytime over the past five years, but once again, I think the reality is people who worked hard for the fire festival, their vendors, contractors, whatever it may be, are still owed. And if I can pay, start paying $100 a week, whatever the number is, let's figure that out and get that done.”

“The government made a statement saying that I'm not allowed back. I think some media announced that I was doing a festival there again, which was not the situation. And I don't think I ever announced that. I hope I didn't. But I think that narrative was taken with and run with to this overall ban, which came out of left field for me.”

“Yeah, I'd love to go to the Bahamas. We had been working with a small local development on an island called Blackpoint, and we had a super connected, tight local team that I had known there for years that I call my dear friends. A few weeks ago, the Bahamas basically announced that I wasn't allowed back, which was Super hard for me to hear. I think the reality of the situation is that there are people in the Bahamas who are still owed for their work and they need to be paid back. So before any talks of returning there happen, like they need to be paid back. And I'd love to readdress your relationship once that happens. But in the meantime, Pirate is the technology we've built. It is these experiences. So just like it's early, and I don't have the answers yet, but looking for other locations to start testing what we've been building.”

“I think what's really interesting, especially from the team standpoint, is I'm having an easier time finding team members and partners and employees, whatever it is now. And with having no money and having the tarnished than I did before, I think for the 90 out of 100 people who just want to hate and distance themselves, that almost inspires the 10% of the people to really want to fight for it and make something happen. So I almost have like deeper, I think, more trusting relationships with my small circle than I did before. But obviously I'm going to encounter millions of people who are just going to like say no at first pass.”

“As many weekends out of the year as we can, but this time, instead of trying to bring thousands of people there, we're rigging the area with these 360 cameras. We're going to be live streaming it to the rest of the world. So all of their fans, no matter where they are, can watch what's actually happening and then take advantage of these emerging technologies to own and even affect the experience. So for example, people online could chip in a dollar and build a beachside bar and sell drinks to their favorite artists. Or like once I'm allowed to travel, I can be swimming at the reef and they can decide to chum the water and like the local captain who's like an amazing character like dump bait in the water and I think given all the crazy sharks in the area people would love to see the results live of that but it's all about taking people”

“What's the sales pitch? So, working to partner with a really small boutique hotel in an adventurous island somewhere where we can host the content creator from London, like the entrepreneur from New York, the music artist from LA on a permanent basis, connect them around all these adventures to go night diving, to go spearfish for their own lobsters, to make music, you know, by the bonfire at night.”

“I went way too fast I turned down experts in certain areas like thinking I knew more than them terrible managing finances I'm terrible with logistics but I'm good at building products quickly and I'm good at marketing I'm good at taking people and allowing them to find value in others that they might have not found without me. And then inviting them and convincing them to go try some experience they would never have done without me and finding joy and success and ideas from those experiences and connections.”

“Not yet. For all of the really bad stuff, I think the one. Crazy positive takeaway of solitary was that it gave me time to think past tomorrow. And if you kind of go back to like those fire days with the urgent payment sheet, I couldn't afford to think past two o'clock, let alone like three years from now. So the benefit of solitary was like read a lot of books and really just like thought about technology in a way that I didn't have the luxury of due to my own mistakes of doing before. Plus, like the reflection about what I suck at and what I'm good at. So pirates, like the combination of the time to think seven years ahead and the time to reflect on the areas that I need help and the areas that I think I can succeed at.”

“Yeah, I think like beating around the bush. Hiding from the truth just makes no sense, right? And like people are owed, they're owed money, they're owed trust, they're owed an apology. And not doing it and avoiding it, I think is worse than saying it is what it is and here's my step to make it right. And like, I can't promise that pirate is going to be worth anything one day. I can't promise it'll work or not work, but I can promise I'm going to try.”

“The craziest thing is that I never thought I would get out. And I'd spend the time planning things and thinking about what I wanted to do more as a mental escape, but I was just so convinced that it was never going to end. And obviously it sounds silly. That's really been like this like aha moment. Like I am out of prison right now. And I just like truly didn't think I would be here. Crazy, I know, but it was like the paranoia of the situation really, really like convinced me that this was not going to be over.”

“I think I am extremely flawed in a lot of ways, and I'm embarrassed about a lot of things, but I'm very embarrassed about using like mental health as part of my defense. And I just don't believe that that's an excuse for what I did. So I think that was a wrong approach that I took there.”

“Not Foley. I guess for better or worse. I'm of the belief that. Committed the crime, and like, I could have and should have stopped myself. And getting mental health wouldn't have stopped me from committing the crime. And I also believe that I'm present to the point that. I certainly believe I know right from wrong moving forward. And if I commit a crime in the future, it's not going to be because of a mental health issue. It's because I'm taking a shortcut and, you know, copping out.”

“I don't know. I think the mental health journey started more out of angst. I was in solitary for, it was my first stint there and I had a Walshy journal newspaper come in and I was around the holiday times like getting ready to do Christmas like alone in the cell like you know obviously super stressful and there was like a whole backpage spread in the Wall Street journal about dealing with your anxiety in the wine store because there were so many options and I'm like these motherfuckers like do you know what I would give to like be able to go to a wine store like right now and like how is this real so I think my initial like intro to like the In vogue mental health was like a bit of like this is bullshit and then I think it took a period of a couple years to start like opening up to the topic and the concept”

“Heard what was happening there and heard his blood help me scream the next morning when he was getting slashed. So that was wild. But I think it was so much happening at that time. I didn't fully like take stock into what had happened. So that happened a year or two later. I think it would have been more difficult to comprehend. But just the fact that so much was going on at that point is like an overwhelming emotions. Like if you have a thousand loud sounds blasting in your face and like one more like horn plays in the corner, you're not going to really register the horn as much as if it was the only sound hitting you at that time.”

“We're so weird about that situation. He was scared to tell the police guards what happened, but he had to move cells because he couldn't deal with it again. So he found a reason to move to a different cell, like in the same building that we were all in. But the word got around between the other inmates, what happened. So the other inmates pressured the guy who raped him to do something about it, basically. And he went and like took a razor blade and slashed the guy the next day. So it's like, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. And like, how does that kid handle that situation? Like if you tell on the guy and your entire prison experience is going to be terrible. If you don't tell him, you're going to get raped. If you quasi telling him, you'll get moved and then stabbed. So it's like, what do you do? And it's like, it's just like a wild, terrible situation.”

“Was really, really early on and my jail stint, when I had my bell revoked, I went to the Brooklyn Detendance Center here, which ended up being there for seven months. That place is certainly like violent. They have all condos of crimes and levels of security people there. It's like all kind of mixed into one big fish tanky cell block.

And thankfully, somewhere in the higher up chain outside of the facility, I was in rejected that and just sent me somewhere else. But that was a very real.”

“Knowing that I was so guilty in the first place and deserved everything that happened, but then also knowing that it doesn't have to be that way. And there are people who weren't as guilty as me, who suffered as bad or worse than me. I think that fear is always been there. Like when I was told my release date from jail, the two months I had to wait after receiving the date were the hardest time in jail. Like every morning, I'd like be shaking in bed, like waiting for him to call my name on the last speaker to tell me it was a joke and like, I'm not going home. And I didn't believe I was going to go home. So for those 60 days, I was like, unbearable. And then when the day comes, I'm waiting in the cage.
