Ep 330Feeling Stuck? Ask These 8 Questions
According to a famous legend, the ancient land of Phrygia (in what is now modern-day Turkey) was without a king. An oracle proclaimed that the next man to enter the city in an oxcart would become its king.Soon after, a man named Gordius rolled into Phrygia on an oxcart with his wife and son and was swiftly proclaimed king of the land...•••My first book has its biggest sale ever: 50% off!Now's the time to grab a few copies for yourself, family, or friends before the sale expires.Order The 5 Types of Wealth Now!
Ep 329AI and the Tragedy of the Commons
In 1968, an ecologist named Garrett Hardin published an essay that described the perils of individual short-term thinking on shared resources:"Picture a pasture open to all...the rational herdsman concludes that the only sensible course for him to pursue is to add another animal to his herd. And another; and another...Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit in a world that is limited. Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all."This so-called Tragedy of the Commons is a situation in which individual actors, acting in their own rational self-interest, destroy a valuable shared resource.As I see it today, this mental model from 1968 is a useful lens through which to consider the modern situation we’re facing with AI...•••This is the biggest sale ever on my book: 50% off!

Ep 328The Dangers of Blind Consistency
I recently came across a quote I can't stop thinking about:"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds..." – Ralph Waldo EmersonWe live in a world that celebrates consistency.You're reading a newsletter that celebrates consistency.We're taught that success is found on the other side of consistent action. That showing up, repeating our actions, day after day, is the only surefire way to earn the things we want in life.And there's truth in that: Consistency is indeed a powerful force for good.But, like most things, the dose makes the poison...•••Mel Robbins called my first book "acompelling call to action that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page."\Get it now 50% off!Order The 5 Types of Wealth Today!
Ep 327The Paradox of Mastery
In 1921, an Austrian philosopher named Ludwig Wittgenstein concluded his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus with the following passage:“My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)”In simple terms, Wittgenstein is arguing the following...•••Apple CEO Tim Cook called my book "a powerful call to action to think deeply about what lights you up."You can get it today on a big sale!Order Now 50% Off!
Ep 3267 Reflections from a “Think Week” Retreat
Last week, I went on my first “Think Week” retreat.Three days. Limited connectivity. No meetings. Just reading, deep conversations, journaling, and thinking.I typically try to take a “Think Day” about once a month—but with the utter chaos of my book launch and tour over the last 12 months, I hadn’t been able to create the space necessary to zoom out and properly engage in this ritual.If I’m being completely honest, I’d grown increasingly overwhelmed during that period. I'd felt the steady buildup of stress, anxiety, and tension that thrives in a reactive environment of constant stimulus and response.So when my business partner proposed a “Think Week” retreat at his home in Cabo, I blocked my calendar and eagerly awaited its arrival...•••Apple CEO Tim Cook called my book "a powerful call to action to think deeply about what lights you up."You can get it today on a big sale!Order Now 50% Off!
Ep 325The Perspective Shift That Changes Everything
One of my favorite quotes comes from Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse:“We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.”It highlights a story that plays out over and over again in our lives:You’re doing the work. You’re showing up. You’re taking action. But the rewards you expected are nowhere to be seen.And that’s exactly when the self-doubt starts creeping in. Slowly at first, then all at once...•••My first book topped the Amazon charts last week and currently has a huge 50% sale.Now’s a great time to get a copy!Order The 5 Types of Wealth Now!
Ep 324The Dunning-Kruger Effect: The Psychology of Overconfidence
Have you ever grown frustrated by the observation that the people who know the least seem to be the most confident in their knowledge?You're not crazy. It's a very real, and very damning, psychological phenomenon.In 1999, researchers David Dunning and Justin Kruger studied the bizarre case of McArthur Wheeler, a would-be bank robber who was caught after robbing two banks in broad daylight...•••Biggest sale ever on my book: 50% off the hardcover!Now's a great time to grab a few copies for yourself, family, or friends before the sale expires.Order The 5 Types of Wealth Now!
Ep 323The Speech That Changed How I See the World
Exactly 20 years ago, on May 21, 2005, author David Foster Wallace stood before the graduating class at Kenyon College and delivered the annual commencement address.The speech completely rewired my brain.Each year, I reread it. Each year, it hits differently.To mark the 20th anniversary of the speech––known as This Is Water––I want to share five lessons that changed how I see the world (and continue to shape how I move through it)...•••My book has its biggest sale ever: 50% off the hardcover!Now's a great time to grab a few copies for yourself, family, or friends before the sale expires.Order The 5 Types of Wealth Now!
Ep 322The Say-Do Gap: A Question to Reset Your Life
Here's a question I like to ask myself when I feel stuck:If an outside observer watched me for a week, how serious would they say I am about achieving my goals?Think about it.It's easy to convince ourselves that we're fulfilling our responsibilities. That we're doing what's necessary to build the life we want. That we're showing up with energy and focus on a daily basis.But what would an unbiased observer see?•••My book is currently on a crazy 50% sale.

Ep 321The Hidden Bias Keeping You Stuck
We all do it.We stay in jobs that drain us. We cling to relationships that no longer bring us energy. We hold onto possessions, identities, and goals that don’t serve the future we're trying to build.It turns out there's a simple cognitive bias to blame—and understanding it may be the key to fighting back...•••SPECIAL OFFER: The e-book edition of my book is on a major sale this week for just $1.99.

Ep 319The Question That May Change Your Life
There’s a story about Apple founder Steve Jobs that I love:When he was 12 years old, he cold-called Bill Hewlett—co-founder of the pioneering technology company Hewlett Packard—to request spare computer parts for an electronics project he was working on.Surprised by the request, Hewlett not only sent the parts, he also offered him a summer internship.That opportunity further accelerated the young Jobs’ excitement for technology and entrepreneurship—and we all know what came from that.Reflecting on the story, Steve Jobs said the following...•••My first book is a 7x NYT Bestseller and has reached over 250,000 people around the world in three months since its release.

Ep 3183 Reasons to "Sell" in Life
Last week, investor Bill Ackman hosted a fireside chat conversation in Omaha in front of a standing room only crowd of 500+ investors.Ackman was joined onstage by Ryan Israel, his partner and Chief Investment Officer.During the conversation, an audience member asked Israel a deceptively simple question:"How do you know when to sell a stock?"In a sharp, thoughtful reply, he outlined three reasons you sell...•••My first book is a 7x NYT Bestseller and has reached over 250,000 people around the world in three months since its release.

Ep 31711 Uncommon Lessons from Uncommon Minds
Last week, I had the rare opportunity to spend one-on-one time with some of the most uncommon minds in the world while attending the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha.This piece is my attempt to distill and synthesize the notes down to a set of lessons.11 lessons from a week with legends: (1) Being misunderstood is the cost of entry, (2) Regularly question your certainty, (3) Awareness is perishable, (4) Education is the most magical thing in the world, (5) Compartmentalization is a muscle, (6) The final 5% costs an extra 100%, (7) Your environment is your destiny, (8) Cultivate an environment of respectful disagreement, (9) You have to earn the right to be a long-term thinker, (10) Stop pressing the eject button, and (11) Boredom is a cheat code.•••My first book is a 7x NYT Bestseller and has reached over 200,000 people around the world in three months since its release.

Ep 315The Statistical Oddity That May Save Your Life
If you're reading this newsletter, chances are you self-identify as an ambitious, high-achieving individual. Or, at a minimum, you aspire to be one.You probably take pride in your ability to analyze a situation, deconstruct the problem, create potential solutions, and execute against them.And, up to this point, you've mostly been rewarded for that.We live in a world obsessed with numbers and analysis. We track every bit of data available to us. We relentlessly deconstruct. We optimize our routines and decisions around dashboards and spreadsheets.But unfortunately, that tendency can lead us into peril.Let me introduce you to one of my favorite obscure references:Anscombe's Quartet...•••My first book is a 7x NYT Bestseller and has reached over 200,000 people around the world in three months since its release.

Ep 314The Most Powerful Asymmetries in Life
I define an asymmetry as something where the risk is limited but the reward is potentially significant. It's an action with an asymmetric return profile: If it doesn't work out, the cost is small, but if it does work out, the reward is large.I've been keeping a running list of the most powerful asymmetries I've found—the tiny investments with potentially outsized returns.This piece shares 44 asymmetric things you should be doing (across career, personal growth, relationships, health, and money). Choose 1-2 from each category to implement in the weeks.•••My first book is a 7x NYT Bestseller and has reached over 200,000 people around the world in three months since its release.

Ep 313The Hidden Tax Holding You Back
There are certain taxes of life that we must happily pay:Periods of loneliness are a tax on personal transformation. To achieve the growth we want, we need to accept that there will be periods when we've left our prior environment and have yet to find our new one.Hard conversations are a tax on deep relationships. To build the deep bonds we want, we need to accept the hard conversations that repair and strengthen these connections along the way.Boredom of routine is a tax on long-term success. To earn the win in the light, we have to embrace the boring basics in the dark.Imposter syndrome is a tax on growth. To unlock the growth we asked for, we need to accept that we will be pushing beyond our current competencies and feeling like an imposter in doing so.But there is one tax of life that we must actively reject:The Ignorance Tax.•••My book has been on the monthly NYT bestseller list for two consecutive months since release and has sold over 200,000+ copies worldwide.

Ep 312The Paradox of Routines
Morning routines have been a hot topic of discussion lately, mostly prompted by a mega-viral video of an Instagram influencer running through his elaborate minute-by-minute rituals.It's incredibly good content—the ASMR sounds, the shots, the execution—but is having a fancy, complicated morning routine really going to change your life?If you aren't going to start dunking your face in expensive bottled water before 6am, can you still be successful?•••My book has been on the monthly NYT bestseller list for two consecutive months since release and has sold over 200,000+ copies worldwide.

Ep 311My Honest Advice on How to Stand Out
In a world that values sameness, standing out is never free. But those who endure unlock the door to the most extraordinary lives.This is a brutally honest list of the traits I've observed in people who truly stand out. These are the traits I aspire to live by.9 uncommon traits that will make you stand out: (1) Be anti-insecure, (2) Cheer loudly (and without qualification), (3) Practice the art of studied nonchalance, (4) Surround yourself with Truth Tellers, (5) Embrace your beginner's mind, (6) Show up when no one's watching, (7) Tolerate uncertainty a little bit longer, (8) Do the old fashioned things well, and (9) Go all in on the things you want.•••My book has been on the monthly NYT bestseller list for two consecutive months since release and has sold over 200,000+ copies worldwide.

Ep 310Question of the Week: The Mountain or the Pebble
Here's a quote I often think about:"It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe." - Muhammad AliOver the years, it's sparked a lot of introspection around a simple question that we should all be asking ourselves more regularly:Am I blocked by the mountain in my path or the pebble in my shoe?•••My book has sold 200,000+ copies around the world and is a 7x NYT Bestseller.If you've been wanting a copy (or are looking to gift copies to family or friends), there's a big 30% sale.

Everyone tells you to do hard things, but no one tells you why it's so important.First, it's because life is hard.

This weekend, I was flipping through a few of my old journals when I came across this quote:"When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstances, revert at once to yourself, and don’t lose the rhythm more than you can help.

Ep 300How to Prepare for an Uncertain Future
The future feels wildly uncertain (and you don't need to look far to feel it). This is my open letter to anyone struggling to prepare for an uncertain future...First, we need to scrap the old linear mindset (Plan, Execute) and replace it with an iterative mindset (Execute, Adapt).In a 2012 interview, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos highlighted the importance of identifying what will stay the same in the future and building around that. Think of these timeless truths as your Lighthouse, and the skills that remain relevant are your Lighthouse Skills.Focus on the lighthouse.•••My book has sold 200,000+ copies around the world and has been a NYT Bestseller for 7 consecutive weeks since launch.If you've been wanting a copy (or are looking to gift copies to family or friends), there's a big 30% sale.

Ep 299The Parable of the Sower: Environment is Everything
This is one of my favorite parables:A sower went out to sow.And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.He who has ears, let him hear.- Matthew 13:3-9This passage offers a powerful reflection on one truth:Your environment creates your reality. Choose Wisely.
Ep 2981 Question to Start a Powerful Week
Programming Note: The most common piece of feedback I receive is from readers who love the newsletter but find the Friday Five has too many ideas to digest in a single email. Over the next two weeks, I'm going to experiment with something new: The Friday Five will be split across four short weekday emails that will take 1-2 minutes (max!) of your time. The Wednesday deeper dive will remain the same. My goal is that this change will mean more of you are able to take action on these ideas and experience the growth that follows. 1% better, every single day. Stay curious, friends.

Ep 296The Life-Changing Power of the Spotlight Effect
In 2022, after making a rash emotional decision to pause my book process, I got a piece of advice from a mentor that changed my life: Nobody cares.Here's the truth: You aren't afraid of failure. You're afraid of what other people will think of you if you fail.The Spotlight Effect is a psychological phenomenon whereby we overestimate the degree to which other people are noticing or observing our appearance, actions, behaviors, or results.

Consistency is the common thread behind every major success story. But no one ever tells you how to be consistent—and let’s be honest, it’s easier said than done.Fortunately, I've spent hundreds of hours thinking about this exact problem—and I've distilled that thinking into a short list of practical strategies to help anyone become more consistent.7 strategies to be more consistent: (1) Every day is easier than most days; (2) Fire in the act, grace in the amount; (3) Mornings are your cheat code; (4) Harness the power of peer accountability; (5) Use progressive overload to build the muscle; (6) Never try to make up for a miss; and (7) Focus on the trend, not the position.•••My book was a New York Times Bestseller for the 4th consecutive week and was the #3 bestseller for the entire month of February!

Ep 290The Dimmer Switch Mentality
Traditional wisdom says you have to live life with an On-Off Switch Mentality: If you want to do well, you can have two areas switched ON, but if you really want to win, you can only have one area switched ON. The other areas are, by default, switched OFF.The problem with this approach: If you leave an area OFF for too long, it becomes very difficult (if not impossible) to turn it back ON.My solution is the Dimmer Switch Mentality: It says that each area of your life exists on a dimmer switch. If you want to focus on building one area, you turn that switch up, but rather than turning off the others, you just turn them down low.•••My book has reached over 100,000 people around the world in just one month since its release.

Ep 283The 2 Types of Status: Bought vs. Earned
Status can be defined as the standing or positioning of one person in relation to another person or group. Status is a basic form of social currency—it dictates our interactions with those around us.There are two types of status: Bought Status and Earned Status.Bought Status is the improved social positioning garnered through acquired status symbols (cars, watches, etc.). Earned Status, however, is the real respect, admiration, and trust received through hard-won treasures (healthy body, meaningful relationships, strong purpose, etc.).Status games are a part of life. You will never escape them—you simply need to play the right ones. Focus on Earned Status games and you'll live a more fulfilling life.We're less than one week away from the launch of my first book, The 5 Types of Wealth.Order today to Unlock Exclusive BonusesThe 5 Types of Wealth provides the actionable tools to define, measure, and design your life around the pillars that truly create lasting happiness and fulfillment.Order now and you'll unlock several exclusive bonuses, like a ticket to our virtual launch event, a companion video series, and more.Order your copy today!
