About Us

Built by someone who escaped the 9-to-5

6am Collective was created to give you the exact roadmap, tools, and accountability I wish I had on my journey to financial independence.

My Story

I escaped the 9-to-5. Now I want to help you do the same.

In 2020, I became financially independent. It didn't happen overnight. It started with a decision — to wake up early, before the noise, before the emails, before the demands of my day job.

Those quiet morning hours became the foundation for everything. I used that time to learn about investing, build new income streams, sharpen my mindset, and take control of my money.

And it worked.

Now, I'm building 6am Collective to give you the exact roadmap, tools, and accountability I wish I had. Your morning hours are your most powerful asset. While the world sleeps, you build.

The Journey

How it all started

From corporate employee to building a path for others.

2016

The Wake-Up Call

Working 60-hour weeks with nothing to show for it. Realized my best hours were going to someone else's dream, not mine.

2017

The 5 AM Experiment

Started waking up at 5 AM to work on personal projects before the day job. Those 3 hours changed everything.

2018

Building Momentum

First side income streams started generating real money. Invested every extra dollar. Learned about index funds, real estate, and compound growth.

2020

Financial Independence

Reached the point where passive income covered all expenses. Left the 9-to-5 on my own terms.

2026

6am Collective

Launched this community to help others follow the same path. Because everyone deserves to own their mornings.
