Come on, Vinod. Trump/Vance LFG!!

I just realized the other day that I’ve worked for about 25 years now…. Perhaps obvious, but the most important work I’ve done has been to work on myself. The perhaps less obvious, the most important skill I keep needing to work on - is to connect to others. As an introvert, my mom probably realized this, so she got me to join a theater group. It was so difficult for me, but being part of that group taught me so much. 25 years in I’ve come to realize - it takes a village - and it’s the relationships we form, the teams we’re part of that truly define our journey.

I’m at the airport reading, and a man in his ~60s walks by me and says: “Great book. Wish I had it earlier.” So I ask, “Really? Why?” That sparked a convo about how he went from Harvard MBA to investment banking in NYC… to an existential crisis at 35 where he lost himself, gave it all up, found himself, met his wife, and built multiple business. What stuck with me the most is how he talked about his wife. He just LIT up. “If you think I’ve had an interesting life, you should meet my wife! She’d blow you away. She blows everyone away. She’s the most impressive woman I’ve ever met. She’s my linchpin.” Me: “What advice would you give for choosing a life partner?” Him: “If you have a big vision and want a big life, you need someone who knocks your socks off. It’s gotta feel like winning the lottery. This person is your #1 advice giver. Your lifelong backup. Your companion for thousands of meals, events, problems. You need someone better than you in a lot of ways. Whose mind and heart amaze you. I wake up every day like, ‘How on earth did I land her?’ She says the same thing. That’s when you know.” Then he showed me like 300 pictures of them and their kids on vacation around the world. Couple goals. 🥹

Watching YouTube videos before bed like usual and somehow the algorithm had @letsgowithjulio best man speech come up. Inspired, impressed, sad, happy and hopeful are all feelings I had while trying not to tear up haha. What a cool dude

Spent 3 hours this morning listening back to back to @letsgowithjulio's podcast during my run. Truth bombs and deep conversations.

If you’re scared to say “I love you” to your friends, try this softer version The next time you’re saying goodbye to someone— on a phone call or at a meeting— say “Much love, brother” Then hold the eye gaze and wink at them

The new tagline for twitter/X is “Blaze your glory!” I hope they offer a less enthusiastic option for British users. Perhaps something along the lines of “give it a go” or “it is what it is”

Oh my lord, this is deeply sad and troubling.
