Beautiful. This is what it's all about. People who tell you to do the bare minimum are hurting you & your entire family. Don't waste the opportunities of a lifetime. Run for the fences. Make money, do good things & make life amazing for those you care about.

Imagining a world where companies trained teams on how to write well - on Slack, by email, and in general using AI as an editor inspired by @shivanisberry’s post: How top performers write to command attention (never be ignored again) Link: https://t.co/u4P46eXynI

In hindsight, debates in ethics class were the most underrated part of my high school education. Back then I thought our teacher was slightly unhinged given some of the topics were particularly heavy, but he prepared us for adulthood better than most.

September is the true New Year. January 1st is a glitter-and-champagne Gregorian spectacle meant to distract you from the dead weight of winter. Soon the air will thin and sharpen. The breeze will mimic the effect of caffeine. The mornings will start to smell like possibilities.
