I was (actually) born Friday the 13th, January, 1995.

My life changed in a startlingly huge way, when my anatomy class group was assigned our endocrine organ which we were to present on: the Pineal Gland. This was Junior Year of High School, in Gainesville, FL, at Buchholz High School.

Little did I know, but this subject, of this organ, would be the single most interesting topic to me, ever.

Instead of doing what every high school student would do, which is browse Wikipedia for 5 minutes and get the project done as soon as possible, I actually delved deep into all of the scientific literature I could find.

This was an ordeal that, in another life, I only would have realized as beneficial once having reached college. Essentially, I was able to discover the most interesting and life-changing topic, 4 years earlier.

This also greatly accelerated my potential and the amount of lives I would be able to have a positive influence on.

I ended up giving my TEDx Talk 1 year earlier than I normally would have, and developed my business & supplements line, Seat of the Soul Supplements, LLC earlier as well. I was able to put my Entrepreneurship training (which I received in High School) into action much, much earlier than I normally would have. All of this normally would have taken place in college, and instead, it took place in High School.

---

Having entered the business and financial arena at a much earlier age than I normally would have, I quickly started investing and keeping a portion of my money in Bitcoin, starting in 2013. No McDonalds job for me in this reality!

---

I was able to help many more people than I normally would have, all by learning a couple things, at a much earlier point in my life.

I also would have kept growing at a normal rate. You see, I had a calcified pineal gland at the time, and the pineal gland is a very important endocrine organ, which helps you grow and adapt over time. I normally would have stopped growing throughout high school, however, had I found out this info in high school, instead of later on in life, in college, I would have grown an extra 3 inches, instead of only an extra 2 inches.

Never before in his life, would a school project be such a synchronistic moment, having the potential to change so much.

“Okay, Alex’s group, you have the Pineal Gland (the most controversial organ of the endocrine system) to present on!” Said the anatomy teacher, casually, not realizing the Red & Blue Matrix-Pills she had just placed in front of me.

I sat attentively, looking at my options.

Instead of choosing the Blue Pill, which most high-schoolers would have done, I chose the Red Pill. My life was changed forever, and accelerated in a way I didn’t know was possible.
