You’re gonna see A LOT of Super Bowl commercials for Electric Vehicles on Sunday.
Millions of dollars spent on ads.
You know who won’t have a Super Bowl commercial?
Tesla.
And guess who is going to get talked about the most?
The company everyone will compare these ads to.

Entrepreneurship should be a subject in schools on the same level as math, reading, science, etc. Whether a child becomes an entrepreneur or not, those skills are KEY to success IMO.

We sent this product to you knowing you saw an early prototype last year and loved the concept. We couldn’t have imagined you would take the time to film a video like this!

My 14 year old son just built his own PC. No help from me, not even with money.
He chose all of the components himself with money he earned working for my company.
I asked him how he figured it all out, and of course, he said YouTube.
He showed me amazing resources like…

My 8 year old asked me about salaries and was surprised to hear that teachers make so little compared to others. When he asked why, it was hard for me to answer, and “that’s just the way it is” is not in my vocabulary. This is something I’d love to change. How tho.

I’ve been keeping a running tab of excuses I’ve told myself this year. Every time one enters my head, I use an Apple shortcut to say it out loud and put it into a Trello board. Saying it out loud, and then reading it again later - I see how ridiculous they are. It’s helping.

I've made my books Let Go & Will It Fly, both free on Kindle to help. Let Go was about what happened when I was laid off in 2008 and how I dealt with all of the emotions back then, and Will It Fly can help you get started on that new business idea:

I gifted each of my kids a ROTH IRA for Christmas! They are employees of my company & saved up enough to max out contributions for 2023 ($6500) – so really they gifted it to themselves - I just set it up for them as a custodian.
Tax-free growth at 11 & 14 is gonna set them up…

My son: “When you play video games, like Minecraft, and you can look around the world you’re in, what happens to the part of the world you can’t see, like behind you. Is it actually still there or does it render fast enough so you think it’s there.”

Just found out that if you want to delete a Facebook Group you're in charge of, you have to manually remove every member one-by-one until you're the last one left, and then you have the option to remove/delete it.

Old way: create a piece of content (blog, podcast, video) and then make up a title for it.
New way: write a clickable, attention grabbing title, then go make that piece of content.
Today, you NEED to know you’re going to get a click, or else your content really doesn’t ‘exist’

Ok, I actually did this today and yeah – why was I once paying several thousand dollars a month for a WeWork space? So I could have access to draft beer that I didn't even drink?
2 hours of extremely productive work out of my local library today. Thanks for the tip
@nevmed
!
Of…
Friendly PSA that your local public library is better to work at than a coffee shop!
- Fast WiFi
- Totally Free
- Tables, Desks, Workspaces
- Free Magazines, Books, Newspapers
I use the public library 3 blocks from my house several times a week, it's like having a free WeWork.

I often hear advice given to introverts like me to “get out of your comfort zone & go find & connect with other people”, which is great, but do extroverts need to hear the opposite?
Like, “hey, go spend some time alone, be present with yourself” Is that just as uncomfortable?
