Do you…28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “Working smarter not harder is a beautiful lie. You will not know how to work smart until you’ve worked very hard for an irrationally long time.” ~Codie Sanchez The Core: “A democracy is only as good as the education system surrounding it.” ~Socrates “Being kind to people is the only real life hack. Kindness remains severely underrated.” ~Sahil Bloom “Whenever you feed into hate you write your enemy a blank check for your attention.” ~Alex Hormozi “Just because results are not visible doesn’t mean they are not accumulating.” ~Shane Parrish “Spoil a woman that loves you, do not spoil a woman so she loves you. Read that again.” ~@VinDollar016 “Sometimes people act funny because they’ve betrayed you and they don’t know if you know yet.” ~@unkonfined “After getting what you prayed for, pray for discipline to keep it and wisdom to multiply it.” ~@educatedhustler “Underrated superpower: Just dumb enough to believe in yourself, just smart enough to execute.” ~Codie Sanchez “I promise you, avoiding people who do you dirty, play the victim, make you the villain in their story to tell others, and drag your name through the mud is top tier self-care.” ~@MindTendencies2 “It wasn’t the purview of our committee to decide how many people would watch or how many people would root for the U.S. It was our purview to create the best team we could.” ~Jen Rizzotti, Team USA selection committee chair | via Associated Press “3 years ago I was unemployed, and now I’m on a company trip in a coastal town in Portugal. I’m here to remind you all that God doesn’t give up, He doesn’t get tired, and His plan is unequivocally the best plan. Everything in life changes, but God remains the same.” ~Khule “When you don’t apologize for who you are, what you can do, and own it…So many people don’t know what to do with that. You’ll get a lot of mixed reactions. It’s a hurdle for a lot of people. Keep stepping into your power. Leaning into yourself. And don’t apologize for it.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “The problem is, some of you are trying to sit at tables the Universe sent you to flip. You can’t blend in when you were born to stand out. Your uniqueness is your superpower. Embrace it, celebrate it, and let it shine from within. Emit your own frequency, and enjoy the journey.” ~@TheOracleReadsU Last Set: “Action produces information. At any given time, we are acting on the information that we have at that current moment. So, don’t get paralyzed. Make a decision and keep moving. The only way to get more is by continuously doing things with the subset of information, you do have. If you never do things, no new information will be produced.” ~Tyler Bruno Food For Thought: Heard this (new) Allen Stone song in the gym on Monday morning and started tearing up as I listened to it… “Your father’s father loved in his own way | We had our moments but he would always say | That I will fail but always try | And I will do wrong things and apologize | And show you what it’s like | To forgive | And I’ll give you space but never leave | And be your safe place for you to grieve | When you get lost please remember this | A father’s love knows where you live.” ~Allen Stone, A Fathers Song Food For Thought II: “But I think there’s real value in examining why we have a system, especially in the leveraged buyout world of private equity, where the norm is to buy, lever, strip, and flip. Right? I’m going to leverage this business to the moon. I’m going to try to use as little equity as I can. I’m going to try to sell it as quickly as I can to generate the highest return I can. There’s no way to make good long-term decisions with short-term capital, with short-term time horizons. There’s no way…And by the way, what are we doing? There’s no way to create a long-term, enjoyable, sustainable life by having a series of short-term transactional relationships that you move your life through. That’s where you end up with these people who can buy anything, who’ve made hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars, who are miserable. I’ve met these people. They have their IRR (internal rate of return) etched on their tombstone.” ~Brent Beshore: Business Brilliance and Happiness at Home [The Knowledge Project Ep. 196 w/ Shane Parrish]
