@CraigBrockie @tyromper Must learn

This is Dr. Robert Lustig. The scientist who’s spent 25 years studying what’s REALLY making people gain weight. His message? The secret to weight loss isn’t calories—it’s lowering your insulin levels. Here are his 6 strategies to burn fat quickly and effortlessly: 🧵

2025 taught me a lot. In 2026, I’m documenting everything I learn about building and scaling online marketing & management businesses. What works, what doesn’t, and why. This is the start.

@DaveLovesMovies Creativity flourishes on a canvas, but loses its potency in an unbounded space. Focus is freedom.

Cassavetes taught Scorsese that limited resources birth limitless vision. Shadows proved it in 1959. Goodfellas confirmed it decades later. Your constraints aren't roadblocks. They're the canvas.

Follow me at my new account @GoalWired This account will remain for now, but I'll be more active over there

@jameszimmermann Wishing all the best. Sadly the arts world is largely woke

Woke up to 20k followers. I showed up here in 2020 with 400 followers and a crazy cancel story, knew it was big but never expected it to spread this far. Would rather play my horn in peace but happy to fight the good fight. Thanks for following along, let’s win this thing!

@THEROSSHARKNESS Action >>>

Ideas don’t grow a business. Execution does.

Exactly this. Education is seen as a wishy-washy career choice, a fallback option, a second-class thing. Pay attention to people like @justinskycak when he tells you how high the ceiling can go (teaching math well) but also how low the standards have fallen (most modern teacher training and ongoing professional development)

@ZubyMusic Better late than never. These uncommon times call for it

Make common sense common again.

@NoahRevoy @sourpatchlyds So much for devouring books

@sourpatchlyds My oldest was great with books. My youngest two went through a phase of eating them. We lost a few classics.

Me: "Excuse me, what are you doing?" 2yo: "I got this book I'm biting, mom." Me: "I appreciate the clarity, but please stop doing that." 🥴

@heydannymiranda Real wealth right there

I'm a 30 year old guy. I spent 4 hours with my cousin's 2-year-old toddler this past week. It was some of the most enjoyable experience I've had in the past year. I got lost in time. I was fully immersed in whatever world this little, brilliant girl was creating. I was just in awe at whatever she did. I don't typically spend a lot of time with little kids, but it got me pumped for whenever I can get the opportunity to do it again. I'm so excited to be a father.

@JamesAFurey Indeed. The crisis in an X post shaped nutshell.

Nothing illustrates the reading crisis like Twitter. It’s the only place where you can study literacy theory from world-class experts and then immediately scroll down to see the "zero comprehension" case studies in the replies.

@flabbytofit99 So good. Especially when your child sees it 20 - 30 years from now

@MasterMyNotes It’s going up on the wall!

Son made this for me today. No one said parenting is easy but there sure are perks.

@ItsKieranDrew People bang on about mastery… sometimes a return to the fundamentals is best. Would love to do this, too

Last week, I had my first experience with breath work. I signed up for a 3-day course in Buenos Aires. 5 things I learned: 𝟏. 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 The course was 3 days long. There were exercises, explanations, and a 30-60 minute breathwork/meditation session. I was struck by a realisation: I had focused more on my breath in those 3 days than I had in my previous 30 years. This is crazy considering how goddamn good it feels. Each day, I felt super clear, calm, and creative. 𝟐. 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 Everyone is looking for the next life hack. But when someone tells you to spend 10 minutes breathing, it sounds ridiculous, so we don’t do it. But one of the breathwork exercises leaves me feeling more energised than if I had gulped a cup of coffee. It got me wondering: What other things do we overlook because we think, “It can’t be that simple?” 𝟑. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 I usually meditate for 10-15 minutes a day. But it was great to go deeper in a structured environment. We would listen to a tape and follow the rhythm of breathing. It would get really intense, but the effect was incredible. It felt similar to magic mushrooms but without the visuals (and the need to take drugs). It’s crazy what you can do with just the body. 𝟒. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜) One reason I joined the course was that I’d been nomading for 3 months and not made any friends. I love writing because you don’t need to talk to anyone, but it gets a little lonely. That week, I decided to experiment. I went to 3 different things. The first two were meet-ups in bars. While it was OK, I was pretty bored. I didn’t have much in common and don’t really care about half the shit people talk about (mostly politics). But everyone in this course was awesome. I think it’s the shared purpose of going deeper. Of trying to connect more with yourself and the world. Of trying to understand reality. I made some good friends. If you’re looking for community and interested in the mind, these sorts of things are great. 𝟓. 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 Last lesson is slightly off topic: the entire course was in Spanish. I’ve been learning for 5 months, so I didn’t understand a lot of it. I felt like a tit because I was like a lost puppy asking what we were doing after every description. But what I lost in understanding, I gained in perspective. It was fascinating to watch my mind freak out every time I was asked a question. Or how tense I was overthinking what I would say when it was my turn to speak. Maybe because it was combined with meditation, but I realised how I can still be so focused on what people think of me. By the end, I felt a big leap in self-awareness, especially dropping the desire to perform. And hopefully, the Spanish was a little better, too. Cheers, Kieran

@Tim_Denning You owe it to your descendants to become successful. You owe it to your ancestors to build on their legacy.

To not become the most wildly successful version of yourself is a curse against your bloodline.
