Short answer

By his own account, yes, and he cut back. He closed the ETF in 2025 because managing it was distracting him from the company. He shut the construction arm in 2017 and subcontracts everything now. The company downsized in 2024 and outsourced construction, software development and accounting. He says he burned out on posting from 2022 to 2026 and only returned to daily volume in August 2026. The remaining ventures are the company and the channel that feeds it. 123

  • ETF: Closed 2025 (to focus on the company)

  • Construction: Closed 2017 (subcontract everything)

  • 2024: Downsized (outsourced software, construction, accounting)

  • YouTube: Burnout 2022 to 2026 (back to daily in August 2026)

The record

The construction branch closed in 2017 after losing $1 million. The ETF closed in February 2025. The offering circular records that in 2024 the company downsized its workforce and outsourced construction, software development and accounting, and has run lean since with three full-time and one part-time employees. 2

Kevin’s account

Kevin’s account

I closed the fund because managing it through a volatile market was distracting me from growing my startup. Net-net from the construction company: subcontract everything. Between 2022 and about August 2026 I took posting lightly and somewhat burned out after the COVID years. 13

What is left

Reinvest, which owns the real estate, the courses and the software, and the channel, which is run by his separate S corporation and promotes Reinvest. RoboHack holds two private stakes. Everything else, the fund, the adviser, the broker-dealer application, the crew, was closed.

He says the fund was a distraction and closed it, and the company was cut to four people. What is left is one company and the channel. 123

Simply put

✅ What he dropped

  • ➡️ The ETF and its adviser business. The construction crew. Politics.

✅ What he cut

  • ➡️ The company shrank to three full-time people in 2024 and hired outside firms for the rest.

✅ What he admits

  • ➡️ Posting less for four years. He calls it burnout and blames himself.
