The Goal is still one of my favorite business books ever.
It teaches the theory of constraints through a novel built around a simple truth:
Every system is governed by its bottleneck. Find it. Fix it. Then find the next one.

@MadMadSecurity @michaeldweiss @MadMadSecurity Which MEU did you go on and which infantry unit did you serve with?
English
The MEU has much more than just amphibious attack capabilities. It includes the F-35B vertical take off, MV-22 Ospreys, AH1Z Vipers. The MEU brings its own air cover.
The two aircraft carriers can continue sorties, and the A-10s can strafe the coast all day long to ensure the MEU is safe.

I asked a retired U.S. Marine familiar with amphibious operations about a MEU on Kharg Island. Granted, this person doesn't have "OSINT" in his Twitter bio, so what the hell would he know? But this is what he told me, contra Trump's claim this is a "simple military maneuver":
"Amphibious landings are by nature high risk and a lot can go wrong even in the best conditions. The Marine Corps has lost equipment during exercises, for example when an Abrams tank was sunk during an exercise on the coast of Spain in the 2010s.
"An amphibious landing on Kharg is within the capability of the United States to accomplish, but at what cost and to what end? Once the Marines fight their way ashore and take their objective, they will be on an island with limited cover, very close to hostile Iran. How long could the Marines hold this island, under bombardment, before they would need to be withdrawn?
"As for the danger, I think of amphibious assault as being akin to airborne assault. A lot of this depends on the tactical advantage of speed and surprise.
"What the Marines are working against here is that everyone knows they're coming. And there are only so many places that are suitable for a landing. Need a suitable approach, favorable tides, etc. the Iranians understand this and will plan for it.
"It is reasonable to expect that they will try to attack the transports en route, that they will attack while the ships unload, that they will attack the landing craft while they move from the ships to the beach, and that the troops will be attacked as they assault from the beach to their objectives.
"Once the Marines are at their objective, they'll be attacked there too because Iran, and any other interested party to the conflict, will know exactly where the Marines are.
"We're also 13 years removed from major combat operations in GWOT. There are still combat veterans at middle and upper echelons, but the majority of troops are not combat veterans. They're new guys."

Today is launch day. 🚀🚀🚀 We find ourselves in a time with much fear/anxiety about careers. I hope this book can be a positive antidote. The permission, motivation, and methodology to do what you truly love. a.co/d/02q0aD2N

PSA: You don’t have to resort to theft to get a great Pilsner. Not worth the jail time. Just swing by the taproom and grab a pint. Much cheaper than bail 💴. @HiSignBrewing

I’ve been fortunate to follow my passion into the beer business. I suspect this book will no doubt inspire others to follow their passions too. Look forward to reading!

A quick book update. Many @BG2Pod listeners made it clear they wanted "me" to read the audiobook. I can confirm that I am the narrator! (you may need to go 1.3X however) Pre-order the audio here: a.co/d/0cg1QLBW Just got my first hard-covers also. 2.24.26 launch.

BIG things brewing in Austin
My dad and grandpa taught me golf on $25 munis. Rock hard greens. Worn-out range balls. Hot dog at the turn.
For years I thought the point was to get "good". Break 80. Stop slicing.
Took me 20 years to realize what golf actually is...
It’s about the people next to you. The hours with your dad no one can interrupt. Laughing about your buddy 3-putting from 5 feet. The pint of Guinness after the round.
Golf, above all, is about the joy of being with others.
So I'm saying goodbye to building tech unicorns...
...and building a new kind of golf club in Austin, TX.
Introducing The Mackenzie Club. The world's greatest upscale private indoor golf & social club.
⛳ 8 TrackMan simulators (120+ world courses, year-round)
🍽️ Full restaurant & craft cocktail bar
💪 Golf fitness & performance training
🧖 Sauna, steam room, cold plunge
🌅 Outdoor terraces with Hill Country sunsets
🏌️ Puttview Putting lab
💼 Executive offices and workspaces
🤝 A curated membership of people who love this game
Not a sim bar. Not a $150K country club.
A place for people who take golf seriously, and don’t take themselves too seriously. A place that feels like coming home.
Opening late 2026 in West Lake Hills, Austin

It’s already being felt. We’ve not raised prices in more than 4 yrs. But we’ll raise in 2026 after absorbing every increase from almost every supplier, since COVID.

CHART OF THE DAY: Due to the impact of Trump's tariffs, the all-in cost of aluminum in America has surged to a record high well above $5,000 per metric ton (LME price + US Midwest premium). The impact would be soon felt on anything made with aluminum -- including beer cans.

@Jason @HiSignBrewing Blueberry Blonde beer at Terry Blacks. Pairs perfectly with everything they smoke. 🍺

Sacks is All In on Austin!
Suggest the Sig p365 as daily carry, Terry Blacks for beef ribs, Franklyn’s for brisket and Salt Lick for bison ribs
BOA and Jeffrey’s for steaks
Coffee: it’s all above average if you see 4+ laptops open

This will no doubt be a great read for anyone searching for their path.
I'm fortunate to have spent the past decade in an industry I'm deeply passionate about; beer. Thru all the trials/tribulations of starting up, navigating COVID shutdown, raising family, I'do it all again.🍻

I love @GustoHQ for our business payroll. But I’ve received the exact same email about running payroll, 12x in the last 60 mins. Kinda worried something’s been hacked. Should we be concerned?? 😳

God, we ask for your peace to descend upon those affected by this tragedy. Calm their hearts and minds, and let them feel your soothing presence. Help them find solace in your own wavering love…🙏🏽

A message from Interim President Jim Davis: “It’s been a tragic week in Texas. We deeply mourn the loss of so many lives from the hill country floods and pray for all who are impacted. We are also grateful for those working tirelessly to help and the many lives they have saved. As Longhorns, we pause to remember those lost, take stock of our many blessings, and continue to do our part to care for those affected.”
