3 MINUTE MONDAYHi friend, I’m coming back to the UK & Ireland with a brand new live show. Edinburgh, Portsmouth, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Exeter, London, Dublin (Sold Out), Newcastle & Belfast 🚀 I came across a great question to help you understand why a decision might be hard. “When I am faced with this decision, how old do I feel?” Maybe you’re trying to decide on something right now, if not then imagine a decision from the past. When you bring up the uncertainty of that decision, how old do you feel? A lot of the time we feel an age where we didn’t have any power to change the situation. 5 or 9 or 12 years old. This makes us feel trapped with the agency of a child but in the body of an adult. What would the adult version of you do, if the child inside you could step aside and let them take charge? What decision would you make to protect that child inside you? What would the child ask you to do on their behalf? I really love this sequence of questions. I hope they help if you’re feeling a bit stuck x MODERN WISDOMI do a podcast where I pretend to have a British accent. This week’s upcoming episodes: Monday. Thursday. Saturday. THINGS I'VE LEARNED1. “The number of incoming college students who describe their political beliefs as “far left” has tripled since the early 1980s, and doubled since 2013. The number of far-left Gen Z college students even exceeds the number among the Boomers of the early 1970s.” — Rob Henderson 2. “You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever. There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.” — PathOfMen 3. "A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ." - John Steinbeck LIFE HACKUpgrade your energy, improve your mitochondria. If you’ve noticed your energy isn’t quite what it used to be — even though you eat well and stay active — there’s a reason for that. As we age, our mitochondria (the parts of our cells that power us) become weaker and make less energy. Timeline is backed by over a decade of research, has more than 50 patents, and is the #1 doctor-recommended mitochondrial supplement on the planet. It’s been clinically proven to improve mitochondrial function and muscle strength. I started taking it over two years ago, because it was recommended to me by my doctor and that’s why I’ve used it for so long — since way before I knew who made the product.

3 MINUTE MONDAY Hi friend, There is a very painful transition that everyone eventually needs to make in their career & productivity journey - from operator guy to idea guy. At the beginning of your career, the only advantage you have is your work rate because you have no experience to draw on, and any natural talent is capped by your inexperience, so you just work hard to get ahead. You answer all the emails, take all the “would love to connect” calls, you send the invoices, write the copy,...

I’ve been thinking about how hard we try to control our lives this week. “Fear and ego—in other words, ignorance—are keeping your hand on the tiller.
