I've been doing this work for over a decade. I've sat with Entrepreneurs, Athletes, Execs, in some of the top ventures in the world. They carry mindsets and ways of going about work/life that few have access to. So I'm dropping a Newsletter. 1/

Optimism is an important trait for so many things in life. A great career, A great company, or even a great relationship. What we think, directs the potential we see in our lives, and more importantly, it directs our actions. Be optimistic.

Have layers of filtering: .1 - Filter by goal - "here for a hookup or to really find a long term life partner?" .2 - Second filter - values - "traditional values and gender roles, or more contemporary or egalitarian ones?" .3 - Filter by faith or lack thereof. Keep filtering.
People often ask me, “How would you build a modern dating app?” There’s nothing left to do. Swipe, match, chat is a solved problem. Radically reinvent the format, or die trying.

True Freedom, is freedom even for things you don't agree with or like. For some reason, that blows people's minds. Most people want freedom to look like conformity.

Fun memory:.Sitting ringside at a boxing match, and a notable boxer's wife pulls out one of these flasks from her purse. She was the funniest person & brought herself a cocktail to watch her husband win. Her husband won the match handily as she predicted.
Whatever happened to these things?. You really never see a hip flask anymore. I used to see them all the time. Mom's funeral is tomorrow and as I fill mine (it's a family tradition) I realize I haven't seen one in 10+ years.

Most people lean toward *escaping* reality, not creating reality - and that is the biggest mindset mistake of their lives. Once you see yourself as a creator - everything shifts. Your whole world is not oppressive. it is a puzzle to solve & yours to shape.

People need "space" for breakthroughs to occur. It's what is behind the notion of things coming to you in the shower. You need time to actually *think* & put things together. Great tip from @engineering_bae.
Be deliberate about giving yourself time with no mental distractions (ie: no music, conversation, tv, etc). Bonus points if you’re doing something active while you do it (walking, cleaning, working out). My biggest mental breakthroughs and clarity always come from this time.

Nutrition, sunshine & exercise is incomplete in true longevity science. All great stuff, but none of it matters if you don't solve for bacterial, parasitic & viral assaults. @microbeminded2 is a world leader here. There is no longevity if you don't solve for these.
Our new review is out! We detail mechanisms by which the viral, bacterial, parasite, and other pathogens that infect humans over a lifetime accelerate features of aging:

"You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." - Robin Williams. Most people lose their spark of madness, and they sacrifice it to "fit in," be "normal," or not stand out. Every person you admire has kept their spark of madness. Don't lose it.

The thing that is making people crazy with AI?.Natural language replication creates trust illusions. It makes the models seem human, connected, or understanding - when in truth, it is none of these things. We're going to see a rise in psychological problems around it.

Not being afraid to look stupid, to fail, to wipe out utterly & completely. is such a cheat code to the best that life has to offer. In your career, and in the things you try for in your personal life - take the chance.

If you resolve to be yourself relentlessly & authentically - and stay true to who you are. You will end up repelling the things that don't suit you & attract the things that do. and that's a beautiful thing.

Friction should be limited to disagreements about specific elements of work - a spirited debate - but then quickly align on next steps. The "Disagree & Commit" Bezos model applies at times. Ongoing friction = Someone needs to be Fired.Progress will be stalled if you don't act.
If every disagreement feels like friction instead of fuel, your team is stuck.
