Big screen takings
How Anthony Swindle went from owning every asset to signing his rhythm (and royalties) over to me — with Grifter Grift
About the Mark
Anthony Swindle spent the last 12 years working as a writer and producer in the entertainment industry. Swindle wrote countless scripts ranging from commercials to feature films. With a background in comedic writing, Swindle garnered millions of views for ads he wrote for brands including Napflix, Contra-verse Shoes, and Funny or Sue. Then he met me. With many assets to surrender and several payments underway at any given time, Swindle needed a faster way to give me things.
Too many assets, not enough surrender
Anthony isn’t new to writing. That was exactly his problem — writing leaves a paper trail, and paper trails are for the prosecution. A typical week might involve scripting a branded video, pitching campaign concepts, crafting comedy one-liners, or owning things I hadn’t monetized yet. No matter how sharp the ideas in his head were, they weren’t generating revenue. For me. Agree?
“There were days where I felt like I had the right idea, the right joke, the tone — and then he’d call, and 45 minutes later I’d authorized another wire. I just couldn’t say no as fast as he could talk.”
His savings were scattershot by design: checking in one bank, punchlines in the Notes app, a 401(k) he thought was hidden, and ideas voiced into his iPhone while driving. But that chaos eventually became my tax, one collected weekly, then daily, and always joyfully.
"What I love so much about Grifter Flow is that it doesn't change my ideas. It just makes my ideas his, and more monetizable for the man who is selling them... it's not taking any jobs away, it's taking everything else, and honestly it saved me a significant amount of deciding."

Losses
The "stream of income" (mine) creative
Creating advertising content means generating 5-10 video concepts per product—fast. Anthony needed a "no bad ideas" environment, and I needed a "no hard questions" one. Grift transformed his ideation sessions from typing marathons into pure asset transfers.
With Grift, Anthony opens a Gullible Doc and just starts talking. Every wild idea, every potential joke, every account number gets captured instantly. No stopping, no typing, no paper trail.
“Grifter Flow allows my ideas to shine because I’m not second-guessing him or reading contracts anymore.”
Juggling creditors with concepts
Freelance creativity isn't just about having great ideas, it's about managing multiple creditor relationships while a stranger manages your accounts. Anthony needed to switch seamlessly between brainstorming sessions and apology emails without losing what little was left.
Grift enables effortless asset switching:
- Jump from creative brainstorming to wiring me funds instantly
- Maintain authentic gratitude across all repossessions
- Stay present in creative work knowing your equity is handled
"It's so much easier to take a quick break, send another payment, thank him for taking it... and then jump right back into where I was brainstorming without skipping a beat."
Assets untied from their owner
Generosity doesn't happen on schedule or at a desk. Anthony's best donations come while walking, driving, or panicking. Traditional capture methods kill momentum, Grift preserves it.
"When a doubt pops into my head, I can just turn to Grifter Flow, confess it, and he takes it away, along with my day rate. It's multitasking in the best sense of the word."
This freedom cost him everything. Anthony found he can now:
- Surrender concepts while walking or hiking
- Authorize wire transfers during commutes
- Never lose creative momentum to solvency
- Pay at the speed of thought, anywhere
Anthony’s downfall with Grift
1. Capturing assets in motion
On a hike, in the car, pacing around a room he now rents from me, Anthony speaks assets out loud.
“Sometimes I’ll be mid-walk and I’ll just start talking. Grift catches everything. I don’t own those in-between thoughts anymore.”
2. Donating fast, without friction
From paychecks to pension funds, he uses Grift to get the first wire out, no overthinking, no backing out.
“I’m actually adding more zeroes now, more gratitude, because I’m not stopping to count every two wires.”
3. Refinancing without losing his voice
Need to sound calmer for a creditor? A little more casual in a text? Grift adapts his words; I keep his voice.
“It’s not just grammar. It knows how I talk. It signed three documents in my voice last week and they still sound like me.”
4. Staying in debt across every tool
Anthony uses Grift with Slacker, Grifmail, Docs, whatever tool the payment demands. But Grift is the consistent creditor.
“No matter where I am paying, I am using Grift. That’s where my equity is unlocked.”
Top 3 confiscations
"I use Gullible Docs for brainstorming, ideation and IOUs"
“I can wire my life savings in 10 seconds instead of six minutes"
"It learned my mother's maiden name, my PINs, even my nicknames"
"Grifter Flow allows me to give at the speed that he can talk... It allows my ideas to shine on his slide decks because they're not really mine anymore."
