“When Grant Cardone says that earning only $400,000 per year would embarrass him, he’s trying to increase your current pain. If you make less than $400k, he wants you to think less of yourself so that you go looking for a solution (from him)”

Disrespect doesn’t just make people feel bad. It leads them to perform worse.
Evidence from medical teams: Even a single insult decreases the quality of diagnoses and procedures. Rudeness disrupts focus and undermines collaboration.
Civility is not optional. It’s vital.

On the perfection of the #CurbYourEnthusiasm finale with Larry David and a never-before-told story from "The Marine Biologist" episode more than 30 years ago — @JerrySeinfeld crushed it with us today:

Constantly claiming to be a victim is not a sign of virtue. It's a strategy for narcissists and psychopaths to get ahead.
Data: people who regularly signal victimhood are more willing to lie, cheat, and steal.
Beware those who air personal grievances like every day is Festivus.

How Vanderbilt heirs were controlled by money.
"Rather than using money to build a life, their life was built around money; rather than an asset, their inheritance was an insurmountable lifestyle debt, passed on until there was mercifully nothing left."

This is one of the most important articles I'll write all year—and the most complete framework for how I'm thinking about progress, public policy, and a better future for all Americans:

I’ve been stuck in the casino for the last 20 months.
At the start of Covid, I pulled my money out of index funds in an attempt to beat Mr. Market.
In my pursuit of outperformance, I traded everything: options, leveraged shorts, growth stocks, & crypto.
It's time to leave. 🧵
