Looking forward to this course!! Thanks so much @ecomchasedimond socialgrowthcourse.com/#done

Listening to the Colorado broadcast for the #canucks game and they said Boeser rammed his face into Manson's stick. 😅 @ThomasDrance

"Pessimism is an indulgence, orthodoxy is the enemy of invention, despair an insult to the imagination." — Wade Davis via the 5-Bullet Friday newsletter (tim.blog/fbf) from @tferriss

Getting the most out of life doesn't mean getting the most money. Money can be part of it, especially if money is a side effect of personal evolution. But the "compounding interest" of a lifetime of experiences is the real key. Much higher happiness-leverage.

Hypothesis: If your success formula is more work = more success AND if you're already working super hard and feeling tired and worn out THEN Your dream of having more success is blocked by the fear of having more work.

This is interview is incredible. We're fortunate that such genius is housed inside a very decent human. Many thanks to Mom and Dad Altman.

If your mental model is: more SUCCESS = more WORK And you can't possibly work any harder... then you can't receive more success. What you're working on becomes a burden. New opportunities are rejected instantly. Success becomes impossible until you change your model.

The latest podcast from @lexfridman is amazing. Sam Altman is a genuinely good person (phew!). Smart enough to know what he doesn't know. Humble enough to admit it.

I worry that ChatGPT is auto-regurgitating old "templates" and "playbooks" that will encourage people to create more & more clutter-content. It's "I grew my list to a 1M followers so use my template" on steroids.

Is ChatGPT signalling the end of canned, meaningless content? Will the next "super skill" be writing in a way that PROVES you're human?

I’ve discovered that I need to focus to be happy. Focused work feels good even if the work isn’t fun. Bonus: most of my work is fun.

Business is an athletic pursuit & top athletes train their entire person. Athletes: - train their minds, their bodies, their emotions - acquire and practice skills and strategies - try something, review the video, try again - balance training with rest and recovery - focus

Life is an athletic pursuit. It requires stamina, strength, courage and heart. We have to train, rest, hustle and build our skills. We need coaching, performance analysis and constant skill development. Most of all... we need reps. Diligent, dogged reps.

Okay I just heard that @hubermanlab doesn't use a script for his +60 min podcasts. Considering the detailed descriptions provided, specific studies referenced, etc, that's just incredible!

Action matters more than almost anything. Build the habit of acting consistently over time. Get moving. Keep moving. Adjust course as you go. You can't course correct if you're not moving. @JamesClear 's Atomic Habits is a great launch manual for a life of action.

So many great knowledge snippets from @JamesClear but I'd say this is one of the best.

We know nothing. We believe everything. @NASAWebb is proving that even our theories of the universe are likely wrong (or incomplete at least). Yet we reject ideas that we can't confirm with the naked eye. In some ways we are all flat-earthers.

It's fear. Not laziness. @NightingaleEarl prescribes a 30 day test in The Strangest Secret. One of the steps is "Having the courage to concentrate on your goal." I've assumed I have a "lack of focus". But maybe it's a "lack of courage".

Rest wisely. @hubermanlab says we can focus for up to about 90 minutes before needing a break. The trick is that the break needs to be a real break. Fresh air, stretching, meditating, a few minutes of socializing, etc. NOT screentime. Real brain rest.
