It's funny, when I think about the things I'd like to to do after 'I make it', I come to the realization that these goals are achievable now and were achievable even before Chainlink. Perhaps I did not have the confidence to think this way until now.

Professionally, I'd like to quit my job in financial services and create my own venture capital/angel investment fund with the money I'd earn from staking. The thesis of the fund would be an antithesis to the culture of Silicon Valley. I'd invest along the lines of supporting the value of the individual and the expansion of the human spirit. Tech currently invests along the lines of itemizing humanity into units and data. They do not realize the long term potential of the triumph of human spirit.

Personally, I'd like to get into mountain climbing and traveling to see the diversity of the natural world. I'd like to return to my hometown and create a computer science academy within my high school Alma Mater. My hometown was fairly poor and there were a lot of bright kids with limited opportunities. It would only be 20 or so kids per grade in the program, but teaching them a tangible skill could break the familial cycle of poverty for them. I would advocate for them with the startups I invest in to allow them to intern over the summer and build knowledge on the entrepreneurial side of tech.

Also, I have other goals such as completing /lit/'s master list of philosophy, buying my parents a modest home on the water, funding the education of my niece, and marrying my girlfriend/starting a family.
