Every era has an operating system the people in it can't see. 1987 thought American suburbia was the center of the universe. What does 2025 think? Here's what I learned watching He-Man fight rubber monsters in a New Jersey high school parking lot.

Finding the Lesson in the Chaos

When Life Starts “Life-ing”

A few weeks ago, my wife and I had to pack up and leave our home overnight. What followed was weeks of living out of Airbnbs, sorting through chaos, and trying to keep our sanity — and businesses — intact. In the middle of it all, I rediscovered what freedom really means. It’s not about control or comfort. It’s about being equipped to handle whatever life throws your way.

Hi!

I'm Andrew.

Ex-Software Engineer and Founder of 5-Star Creator

I explore self-governance through modern entrepreneurship and content creation.

Two years ago, I was at the lowest point of my life and professional career. I was depressed and suffering from migraines. I had anxiety about losing my job, and often struggled to get out of bed.

I had a choice to make — look for another job or start building my own online business. I chose to build.

Now, I'm my own man. I decide what's important in my life. I choose who I work with and when. I decide what's worth my time and energy.

We all have talents to share with the world, yet many of us feel stuck and like we're not reaching our full potential.

Since I began, I've met countless others with similar stories. People choosing lives of authenticity over the status quo.

If you're ready to stop living for the weekend, you've come to the right place.
