Reminder for all young parents: You only get: - 1 Summer with your baby - 3 with your toddler - 9 with your child - 5 with your teenager This time is precious. Don’t rush it.

Growth is really about identifying the next largest bottleneck in your business’s value chain that, when unlocked, creates the most incremental momentum.

today someone in office said that “worrying is the worst way to use your imagination” and that’s easily the best thing Ive heard all week

continually surprised by the number of times I run into situations where the default first step for a solution or a process isn’t just checking to see how throughly the market has solved a problem already.

OBSERVE existing funded product in adjacent space ↓ IDENTIFY which side of the transaction it serves ↓ MAP the other side — who is NOT being served ↓ BUILD for the unserved side ↓ DESIGN the interaction layer where both sides meet ↓ OWN the interaction = own the value chain

this is your yearly reminder... the fastest and cheapest way to increase your internet speed is to just run a hard line from your router to your computer. your welcome.

PROPAGANDA I'M PUSHING: - have a kid. the parents telling you it's hard are not warning you, they're flexing. - finasteride 1mg. waiting six months to "see how bad it gets" is six months of follicles you don't get back. - tretinoin. 0.025 to 0.05 to 0.1 to tazarotene. your face in your forties is built in your thirties. - pills over creams. adherence is the variable. the best protocol is the one you actually do every day. - 8 hours in bed even when the toddler wrecks 4 of them. stop scoring yourself on what you can't control. - evening mug: glycine, magnesium glycinate, chamomile. costs pennies. beats every $80 sleep supplement. - a wfh job that respects your life is worth a pay cut. it's also usually not a pay cut. - nutricost is the move. third-party tested, single ingredient, half the price of the instagram brand. - kettlebells twice a week is enough. people doing 90 minutes a day are buying identity, not fitness. - walk every day. the most underrated longevity intervention and the only one your kid can do with you. - one drink a week, on a weekend, with people you love. - alcohol is a tax on tomorrow. - evidence first. if it doesn't have an rct, it's a vibe. vibes are fine, just price them honestly. - skincare for men is not vanity. same logic as flossing. do it for 40 years and the difference is staggering. - eltamd uv clear spf 46 every morning. the sun is not your friend, it's just usually around. - amanda runs the house with me, not for me. partnership is a daily decision, not a status. - proximity to family is a real input. crunch the tax math, then weigh the grandparent math, which is bigger. - diversity matters for your kid. not as a slogan. as a daily reality of who they see and play with. - delete the apps that don't pay you back. attention is the only asset that compounds for you and against you simultaneously. - meetings should have a decision or they shouldn't exist. agenda or it's a hangout. - the fsa, hsa, dependent care account — claim every dollar. nobody is coming to tell you the deadline. - single-ingredient supplements over proprietary blends. if they won't show you the dose, they don't have one worth showing. - you are allowed to change your mind in public. people who never update are not principled, they're stuck. - direct is kind. vague is cruel disguised as polite. - the dermatologist relationship is worth setting up before you need it. same with the lawyer, accountant, and pcp. GO DO SOME GOOD

I think that’s why family and friend groups my entire life always think I am crazy for basically trying any app. As an ‘elder millennial’ I was/am a 0.01% early adopter for my demographic group, but I was just the beginning of a trend that’s normalized to the mean with the next generation, in what is really just a short period of time.
