1. What work have you done in the past that you're proud of?

► PLGRM http://plgrm.xyz. Founder, Producer. Founded a documentary house at age 19. 50+ productions. 15,000 youtube subscribers. Millions of viewers around the globe. $ 500,000 ARR by age 22. Managed a team of 20 creatives, employed and contracted. All whilst completing my law degree. Burned out hard by age 24. Moved on to the next adventure. Realised I wanted location independent income and freedom.

∮ storytella http://storytella.xyz/ Founder, Writer Started and lead an online writing experience helping people master their personal story, the stories they tell themselves and the world. I made my $1 online, and built my first no-code productised service, fully remote and automated. I helped customers from 10 countries find the rawest and realest expression of their individual voice. I learned more in 1 year of technical skill-building than the 6 years prior. I realised that I didn't want to be a one-trick pony and had interests to productise my creativity and help others expand their consciousness in other ways.

⚭ circularity http://circularity.so/circularity.so Founder, Facilitator I began offering group communication circles for founders, boards and companies off the back of huge demand and testimony from running circles in my personal network. I saw the deep struggle we all share in having difficult conversations. Especially high-stake, competent business people. Circles are the future of group unification, alignment and co-creation. Beyond the business sector, I see myself expanding Circles long-term into other domains with other partners.

A. Circles are pure medicine for bringing families closer together: couples, nucleus, extended, and clan levels. You can run circles as a complimentary or alternative to traditional wedding, funeral, christenings/bar mitzvah or birthday structures. Circles will become a global phenomenon of their own once the penny drops of how valuable they are for tribal-level intimacy/connection. I am confident Circles can help with mediation and divorce conflicts as well. It's a very versatile product.

B. I also believe Circles are the future of policy-level communication and may be one of the few pathways to heal and unite nation-states in the most extreme times of crisis. This is a long-game possibility for responding to global breakdowns in communication and I am open to contributing any value if/when the time in my career comes to help.

2. What will you work on if you were accepted to the fellowship? ✣simulations — ✣ simulations Founder, Inventor http://simulations.so/ — The intersection of meditation, strategy and action. My life's work feels most linked to this venture. Simulation is a new category specifically focusing on the expansion of creator consciousness. Guiding leaders to choose + create their future. I have an alpha-stage app for the product: with a sequential algorithm and no-code prototype operational. It's tested marvelously. It's definitely its own frontier. However, I've kept the prototype in stealth mode to remove pressure and make sure I don't burn out/raise money/do something I will regret. I dropped the fear of being copied if I slowed down and went at my own pace. I've been called to work 1-on-1 with founders, investors and leaders and provide simulation sessions/journeys in a personal, hands-on capacity. This has allowed me to charge more, refine the method, master my faciliation, get testimony and build personal relationships with believers of the product. I love this thing. It's got legs! I hit a roadblock mid year and paused my go-to-market because I did not want to release something that would create more problems for people. The breakdown in confidence led me to question my relationship with God. Without the breakdown, I would not have started a personal relationship with God which came out of my doubt phase of simulation and the body of work I have created. Now I feel the realm of God, spirit and simulation are synergistic and complimentary (my opinion). My personal hesitations have been quelled and my doubts have been turned into stronger faith in the product, myself and life itself. Simulation feels aligned and congruent across my mind, body and soul. I feel on my mission to expand and share the work with the world. My heart feels pure and clean. Simulation has helped tremendously get to this place of conviction. It works. I want to help people. I want to serve. I want to lead. 60 hour commitment. 3. What unique insights do you have on this that others do not?

I created a three-part manifesto to answer this question.

I. What is simulations? https://kristianmichail.com/simulations/welcome II. How does it work? https://kristianmichail.com/simulations/how-it-works II. What it does? https://kristianmichail.com/simulations/what-it-does I need to write a whole book on this. Probably a whole book series. It's one of the things I'd like to do this year with OSV's support.

5. Why do you want to work on this?

Creation is the most important thing in existence.

It’s the only thing in existence. To create is to exist. To exist is to create. Life ceases without creation. There is no creation without simulation. There is no simulation without creation. It's a paradox, and making this paradox an obvious experience in the day to day life of the lay person will help cultivate — joy, adventure, action, fulfilment — and alleviate suffering.

All issues in our world are aspects of consciousness. To master your worlds, master consciousness. To master consciousness, master your word. Word is the programmable code that runs your life. It determines our level of creation. If we don’t love our code, we don’t love our lives.

Simulation works on the codebase of consciousness. It puts human beings back in the driven seat of conscious creation, whilst fully retaining full consent, choice and safety. No force, coercion or violence is required to change or influence people. Simulation is a private, self-lead experience between creators and their creator.

Natural law and natural lore of conscious choice and sovereignty is important. To me and the future of a healthy world. It's a vital tenet in the process of conscious and permissive upgrades in one's code base of reality. All simulants choose wherever they wish to go. I want people to have the freedom and choice to create and simulate worlds they love, grounded in their hearts, of service to their highest calling. Consent. Creating is free of violation. No human has the right to brute force another's code. Non-consent is a breach of natural law. To violate another’s consent is to wound your own soul. To coerce someone is trying to play god. All humans have the right to defend their life and protect their choice. All conscious choice is the source of creation. Choice. Creation is a choice. Yes or no. Conscious beings are aware of their creational powers. Conscious beings are protective of their Word. Conscious beings are responsible for their word. Conscious beings own every aspect of their life. Conscious beings are aware of their choice.

What I've developed is the best in the world. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be here putting myself forward.

I know this because I've spent a decade at this intersection. I've had my failures, upsets, heartbreaks and quit moments.

Getting to this point has felt like life or death at times. I am still here because my heart knows this is needed in the world.

I came to OSV for help. More than just funds. I seek help getting this thing self-sufficient. I drop the pride. I don't have all the answers, and a lot of work needs to be done. I drop the shame. It's ok that I am still a no-name wildcard who has not become profitable. I thank you for the opportunity to share myself.

6. If selected, what will success look like once the fellowship period ends?

1. A full calendar of 1-on-1 clients: founders, investors, leaders. $50,000MRR personal service pre-scale.
2. A published book: self-pub or with a publisher that creates the context for simulation as a whole category.
3. A bulletproof scaling strategy: licensed instructor model, app software build, other or all three strategies.
4. A handful of circuit podcasts: senra's founders, huberman, friedman. (A man can dream).
5. A 10,000 follower twitter distribution

7. What might failure look like? What could be some of the original mistakes of your project?

Personal Failure.

1. Forcing the issue: app build, raise money, misaligned partnerships.
2. Unpublished works: Book, Tweets, Essays around simulations.
3. Employment: Going back to a safe office job to protect the downside.

Project Failure:

1. Pricing: failure to match value/demand.
2. Positioning: undervalue my offering.
3. IP: being too open and not protecting myself.
4. Hopium: hoping others will carry my distribution/sales.
5. Idolatry: staying silent with my knowledge and over-consuming others.

Simulations is the main thing for me. All other projects are like siblings to this one and complimentary to the core vision. With your help, I can further emphasise this simulations strategy whilst honouring for my personal brand positioning — kristianity.xyz.

Ignore these notes; Natural law protects one's right to keep a belief system or code version. Even if another man thinks their belief or code is vile, outdated and dangerous. No man has the right to brute force another man's code. This non-consential interference is a violation. To force, coerce and threaten someone to update their beliefs breaks natural law. Free, sovereign beings respect other humans right to hold their own code. Creation is free of violation. Creation is always a choice. Yes or no. Conscious beings are aware of their creational powers. Conscious beings are protective of their word. Conscious beings are responsible for their word. Conscious beings own every aspect of their word (life). Conscious beings are aware of their choice.

Simulation is a permissive, consented, and intentional upgrade of consciousness. Where you choose your own specks, decide your own path and create your own reality. To upgrade code, there must be permission. Permissable upgrades are conscious creations. Conscious creation put man back at the driving seat of being active players in their own life. Forced coercions or blinded deceptions keep man stuck in their cycle of suffering, karma, illusion. Your reality does not have to violate another's reality. Natural law keeps us sovereign. Man is free from cycles of suffering when he returns to creation. Simulation is a process for humans play the game of creation on conscious mode. To create the lives they want. To simulate "impossible" realities. To live those realities out. To create is to simulate first. To simulate is to actually create. Simulation and Creation are the same thing. Realities are simulations. Simulations are our reality. There is no line of separation. There is nothing to fear. Simulation and creation are one. Consent. Creating is free of violation. No human has the right to brute force another's code. Non-consent is a violation of natural law. To breach another’s consent is to wound your own soul. To coerce someone is trying to play god. All humans have the right to defend their life and protect their choice. All conscious choice is the source of creation. Choice. Creation is a choice. Yes or no. Conscious beings are aware of their creational powers. Conscious beings are protective of their Word. Conscious beings are responsible for their word. Conscious beings own every aspect of their life. Conscious beings are aware of their choice.
