Want to perform to your potential? 90% of it is getting out of our own way. Fear of Failure, Imposter Syndrome, Ego, External Validation, Obsessed over Outcomes. It's a never ending chase. There's a better way. Free yourself up to perform. My new book:

The hustle/grind culture is like the new kid running the 400. They sprint off the line. Think they are winning. They keep pushing and pressing. Never settling. And…They hit bricks & fall apart. The person who learns to settle into a fast but sustainable rhythm wins.

Kick off football season with an offer you're not gonna wanna miss on FanDuel!.

A new trend I've seen: Citation dumping. Someone cites a ton of research papers that don't really back up the claims. but you know that the reader will never investigate them. It's all to create the illusion of research backed.

This doesn’t mean never adapt. It means anchor yourself in fundamentals, then adjust around them. The path isn’t complicated. It’s boring. and that’s the point. If you want a hack, here it is: stick to the fundamentals longer than most people are willing to. That’s.

Excellence is not about intensity, it’s about consistency. The runner who stacks easy miles for years beats the one who binges heroic workouts. The writer who writes daily wins over the one who waits for inspiration. Small actions, repeated, transform over time.

Nearly all bank accounts—99%—are covered by the $250K FDIC cap. Raising it to $20M+ would hand benefits to the top 1%, while taxpayers shoulder risk and banks take bigger gambles. With a Senate Banking hearing ahead, taxpayers deserve answers.

Hacks and shiny objects often look like shortcuts, but they usually pull you away from the work that matters. They distract. They fragment attention. They keep you busy instead of effective. It's the appearance of progress. without much to actually show for it.

The boring basics feel unsexy precisely because they’re stable. They don’t give you dopamine spikes of novelty. They don’t promise quick wins. But they’re antifragile. They hold up across decades. Which is why the people who stick to them are the ones who last.

In investing, that means living below your means, dollar-cost averaging, staying the course when the market dips. In health, it means moving your body daily, sleeping enough, eating real food, building relationships. In craft, it means showing up, practicing, and iterating.

The internet glorifies “next big things.” . Crypto. Biohacks. Miracle workouts. Overnight mastery. But beneath all the noise, the truth hasn’t changed. Success comes from simple behaviors, repeated consistently, long enough for compounding to do its work.

So excited to announce today on @CNBC @SquawkCNBC with @andrewrsorkin that Showrunner is building a noncommercial & academic AI reconstruction of the lost holy grail of cinema:. The lost 43 minutes of ORSON WELLES’ ruined masterpiece THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS

The best advice for financial investments: do the boring basics for a long time. The best advice for fitness, health, and longevity: do the boring basics for a long time. The best advice for mastering a craft: do the boring basics for a long time. Stop chasing hacks. Stop.

If you actually watched the Gladwell debate at Sloan from 2022. you'd realize the outrage is a bit silly. He's a moderator. Sure, he holds back his views a bit, but as a moderator his job isn't to pontificate, it's to get the other legit experts make their argument. And.

In actuality, research shows adopting a zero sum mindset leads to lower well-being and stifles cooperation, even in situations where working together would lead to the most gains. Don’t limit yourself with zero sum thinking.

Research shows:. Trying to make someone else happy increases our well-being more than trying to make ourselves happy. When we put the focus on others, a side benefit is we flourish. Selfless > Selfish.

The musician’s brain teaches us this: Creativity isn’t about thinking more or trying harder during the performance. It’s about preparing deeply, then trusting yourself enough to let go. Practice, practice, practice—and then just wail.

Real performance is a paradox: you prepare obsessively, then you let go. You build the scaffolding, then step out into open space. You learn to quiet the voice of judgment so the work you’ve built underneath can finally speak for itself.

This is why false bravado backfires. You can’t just “believe” your way into flow. If the foundation isn’t there, the brain knows. Confidence that lasts isn’t about faking it. It’s about having enough evidence in your body and mind that you can release control.

That doesn’t mean they wing it. Jazz greats and rap legends aren’t improvising from nothing. They’ve drilled scales, rhymes, rhythms, and progressions endlessly. Practice loads the system. Letting go unlocks it.

Experts learn to step aside. They’ve trained enough that when the moment comes, they can loosen control. They move from reflective to reflexive. They trust the system they’ve built through practice and allow it to run.

For the rest of us, when we try to improvise our brain often does the opposite. The inner critic dominates. We overthink, hesitate, or freeze. Thinking gets in the way of doing.

Freestyle rappers showed the same pattern. When rhyming on the fly, they dampened brain areas linked to self-monitoring. The neural chatter of “Is this right? Am I messing up?” turned down. Instead, brain regions tied to language, rhythm, and creative flow switched on.
