Welcome to Higher Yield [Start Here]
A Path For Those Committed to Spiritual & Financial Freedom
If you’ve been in my world before- welcome back. If you’re new here- I’m glad our paths crossed. This new venture is something I’ve been building toward for a while.. and I’m honored to finally be able to share what’s been in my heart.
For those of you who may not be familiar with who I am, my name is Jeremy- but I usually go by J-Griff!
I don’t love sharing my credentials on the internet- it’s not how I think about this work, or what I want this brand to be about.. but many of you landing here won’t know who I am or what brought me to this point- so allow me to give you a quick overview of my backstory, for some “street cred”, as the youngins say..
I sold candy in middle school, I sold weed in high school. I never worked a normal job & started building my 1st business before even graduating college.. I guess you could say I’ve naturally felt the pull towards the ‘path less traveled’ in life.
I moved back home to live with my mom, after graduating college- intent on pursuing my dreams. I was $50,000 in debt with no car, no job, no prior business experience and no mentors… just a dream. By the age of 30- I was completely financially free.
My first real spiritual awakening was at age 23, when I read the ‘Power of Now’ and had my first full experience outside of my ego. All the thoughts stopped, I felt Gods presence, and I knew this moment would change my life path forever. 11 years later, I have continued on that path- and it has taken me places I could’ve never imagined.
I’ve been an Investor since 2019, and in that time- my active investment portfolio has managed to compound at 54.8% annually, or a 1423% total return (>5x outperformance vs. the market)
In the last ~2 years alone, I’ve been blessed to help create 27 conscious millionaires & multimillionaires + ~20 additional students right on the cusp of breaking their first million dollars of liquid net worth (at the time I am writing this).. through applying my teachings.
In that same time period of meticulously tracking student success inside the LUC, my wealth teachings have helped add $31,480,899.58 in liquid net worth GAINED, across our top 55 students alone.
I’ve been blessed to mentor thousands- with an “s”- of clients over the last 13 years.. from everyday people seeking a better life, to some of the most recognized thought leaders in the spiritual, transformation, & business spaces- helping them create more wealth, freedom, and aliveness in their lived experience.
I have built & now manage a portfolio of growth assets that affords me the luxury of never needing to work again- allowing me the space & resources to spend my time serving others.
To be completely honest with you, even after listing out all these “achievements” for you, I often feel like I have no clue what I am doing in life.
It’s important to me that you understand that I struggle, just like you.
For some reason, I have been extraordinarily blessed with very unique gifts, skillsets, intangibles and a lot of divine guidance- that seems to make wealth creation ‘second nature’ for me.
Yet at the same time, many days I wake up and I feel like I have no clue what I am doing or why I am even doing what I am doing.
Throughout building my past brand into a huge success, or accomplishing investment portfolio returns that eclipse even the best portfolio managers- I didn’t FEEL like I was doing all that great, when I was in it.
It’s only when I look back in retrospect, that I realize I actually did something pretty cool.
That same feeling is how I feel about this new brand.. I am learning as I go- and this is going to be a collaborative process, as much as it will be “me teaching you”.
I am a student, far more than I am a master. Teaching helps me learn & grow.
& while I list out these achievements for those that approach life w/ a bit of skepticism or mis-trust of the good in others, these things aren’t what drive me anymore.
I wasn’t called to come back into the limelight and start teaching again just so I can help you make more money..
My “why” is far deeper than that.. & money just doesn’t motivate me like it used to.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s very important on this planet- no doubt about that… but I only lead with that stuff because THE WORLD cares so much about it.
What I’m actually here to teach transcends material wealth..
I am here- putting my time, love and resources into this new mission- because I believe I can offer you something infinitely more valuable than money alone..
Greater coherence in your life. More aliveness. Less suffering. Actual lived freedom.
Without these things- money has little meaning..
Where I’ve Been
So, for those of you who have followed my work for a while- you know that in February of 2025, I decided to burn my life down and start over.
I left the internet & closed the brand and businesses I was scaling for 5+ years- and entered a deep season of healing, death & rebirth.
I don’t want to go into all of the details of that in this post but if you’re curious to know more about what that journey was like, what I learned & how that led me here..
I will be sharing very transparently in the weeks & months to come- so stay tuned!
Long story short- after a 16 month season of sitting with myself, doing the deep work to get out of my head & into my heart, and letting go of so many identities and parts of me that were no longer serving me..
I have finally gotten to a place where I am ready and able to re-involve myself with the public, and serve others, without it being detrimental to my own wellbeing.
Enough about me though, let’s get into the reason you’re reading this right now!
What is Higher Yield?
What you’re going to learn here will be unlike any other content you can find on the internet.
I’ve studied a lot of financial content & teachers out there, and I am yet to see wealth creation & investing taught in a way that does not cause detriment to oneself in pursuit of that goal.
You shouldn’t have to choose between living from your heart + honoring your spiritual path- AND being materially wealthy..
This friction point is exactly what my work aims to help with- to provide a living roadmap for those who are deeply committed to walking the spiritual path, but who also acknowledge the value in having access to resources, financial abundance, time freedom & a seat at the table.
“Higher Yield” is a Double Entendre that Speaks to:
The higher return on your money you will experience by applying these teachings in your own life & your families lives 💰
The metaphysical understanding that most approaches to “getting rich” are a means to an end. You sacrifice other areas of your life that aren’t right to sacrifice, for money.
The “Higher Yield” Ethos is one that approaches wealth creation through the lens of “coherence”, allowing you to become “more you” WHILE you embark along your wealth journey! 🧬
What You Can Expect From This Substack
My primary focus here is simple- to help you live a richer, fuller, more coherent life.
My intentions in this new chapter are to lead from my heart, not my mind..
- but I want to be honest with you.. this is a constant work in progress for me. I am by no means sharing from a place of “I’ve figured life out”.
I am not a Guru, I am a flawed human being who deeply cares & wants to help others.
I don’t want ‘Higher Yield’ to become another ‘self help brand’ that portrays the teachings/teacher above the audience, and who positions themselves as if they have it all figured out.
I DO NOT have it all figured out..
I am actively living and walking ‘the path’, but I don’t believe in a “destination”.. If there is such thing, I certainly haven’t reached it!
AND- I know that I have SO MUCH to offer you and the world..
Potentially even MORESO by sharing the JOURNEY with you in REAL TIME, in a raw and honest way, rather than trying to paint a picture that isn’t realistic or attainable- like so many of us tend to fall into doing.
This journey is as much about my own growth and evolution as it is you guys- and I want to create a space that allows for collaborative evolution.
This isn’t another “follow for hot stock tips” account, that doesn’t factor in the reality that WEALTH IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.
But this also isn’t “airy fairy” or passive content either..
Expect frameworks, exercises, and homework along the way- grounded in what I’m enjoying & what I’ve found most useful. What I’m building here is meant to be practiced & lived, not just read or “manifested”.
‘Higher Yield’ should be thought of as an education platform focused on genuine transformation- for those who show up, make space to digest what’s being taught, and actually apply it.
Some of the core areas I will be centering my teachings around- come from my passions & gifts in:
Growth Investing (The processes and strategies that have enabled me to compound my portfolio at a 54% annualized return over my career)
Consciousness & Self-Actualization (Teachings, writings & inner work geared towards helping you become who you truly ARE- shedding that which you are NOT)
Money & Wealth Creation (Wealth Energetics, Skillsets & Frameworks- from someone who reached Financial Freedom by age 30 & has helped dozens of others do the same)
Artificial Intelligence (I’ve been an investor in A.I. for 6+ years, and a creator with it for 4- it’s a huge passion of mine and is changing the trajectory of humanity.. but it must be approached with respect & discernment)
Business & Entrepreneurship (This new venture + what will follow is my 6th distinct business venture over a 13+ year entrepreneurial career.. I have learned a thing or 2 about providing value to the marketplace)
Mental Models & Mindset (Unique models, codes, processes & paradigms to help you overcome limitations, cognitive biases, fears & blindspots and experience higher states)
Personal Stories & Life Lessons (One of my core non-negotiables for this substack is that I do not try to force myself into a niche. I am a holistic system of systems, and I am going to be expressing more of my creativity through this medium- which means sometimes I may not want to talk about finance, and that’s ok)
My Promise to You
My promise to you is this..
By actually reading, digesting & genuinely engaging with the journey I’m about to take you on- you will become a more WHOLE human being.
Less Fear. More Love.
Money is cool, but building wealth WHILE becoming a more coherent, less imprisoned, more ALIVE version of yourself is PRICELESS.
Spiritual Growth should not take a backseat to Financial Growth- and my mission here is to teach you a blueprint for how these 2 areas can not only coexist, but amplify one another!
That is my focus here.
That is what I want to gift you- as it’s been gifted to me!
Not better in one area- better in all areas.
What I am offering you is a new way to RELATE TO LIFE- a lifestyle, a way of being…
If you’re still reading this & you don’t think I’m absolutely batshit crazy at this point, you’re probably “my people”..
Make sure to subscribe & drop a comment below introducing yourself and/or letting me know what you most look forward to learning- I would love to connect with more of you and learn more about where you’re at & what’s alive in you!
Also, feel free to share or “restack” this to support what we’re doing here. I have some HUGE plans & surprises coming down the pipeline- but I can’t do this alone.
The more interactive you guys are with me, and the more you can help spread the work- the more we can create a larger ripple effect in what we’re doing here.
All feedback is welcome.. absolutely make sure to let me know when a certain post style or topic really hits home for you- this will help me be a better teacher for you and will allow this substack to become more and more valuable over time in the way I build it.
Until next time...
With love,
-J
I couldn’t be more proud of the heart opened man you continue to become 🥹🩵 I love you the most!
I have missed the LUC tremendously! I continue to implement so many of the things that I learned in the two years that I was a part of it. I am so excited for this new venture.
