Tony Robbins explains the difference between operators and owners…👀
“How could I possibly run 114 businesses, have 5 kids, 5 grandkids, travel the world, do my speaking, do all the things I do, and have a life if I was an operator… I’m an owner”

Meet Shawn Miller of the Hermit Crab Conservation Project in Okinawa, Japan.
He rescues hermit crabs living in trash, rehomes them in real shells with some engraved with custom messages.

This has got to be a consideration going forward for western governments, particularly Canada who’s tax structure is nearly punitive and needs massive reductions

A closer look reveals a mix of powerful forces. Urbanization is changing the calculus of having kids - children are no longer economic assets but financial liabilities, with high costs for housing, education, and childcare. Access to contraception and changing social norms mean people also have more control over family size. The average age of first-time mothers keeps rising, reducing the window for multiple children. Additionally, uncertainty - economic, social, and even environmental - makes people less optimistic about having kids. Each of these factors compounds the others, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that results in fewer children.

I can imagine we’re nearing a time when you can have a fiction book processed through an ai service that will turn that book into a collection of video episodes so you can literally watch your book on tv. Wild.

🚨 I shouldn’t be sharing this…
I just put together a Meta Ads Playbook revealing the exact creative strategy that generated $2.3M for our eCom clients in the last 6 months.
It breaks down:
✅ TOF, MOF & BOF creatives the right way
✅ Why treating them separately is a huge mistake
✅ The system we use to scale profitably
Want the playbook? 👀

@levelsio created this sometime in the last week and I’m now convinced it’ll be the biggest open source game project … ever?

@Liv_Boeree Crazy isn’t it.. and young men will continue to look up to them and heed their advice on how to relate to women… 😔

Freeing the Tate Brothers is the perfect example of dumb masculinity: where people think psychopathy = strength
Abby Libby@abbythelibb_
I voted for an administration that would stop human trafficking at our borders. I voted to get rapists and pedophiles off the streets. Trump's action in freeing the Tate brothers was a stunning betrayal of his mandate.

This is big news. As in the way we live is about to get wilder to a magnitude we can’t even fathom

@Liv_Boeree It feels like an overload of complexity. So many things to be concerned about limited by available attention 😞

Not saying we shouldn’t take the asteroid risk seriously, but if we throw all our focus on this while letting the other set of risks spiral out of control for the sake of a fast buck as we seem to be doing then we’re a joke of a civilisation
English
It’s funny that everyone’s freaking out about a 3% chance of a city-level asteroid in 7 years meanwhile there’s a much greater chance of some kind of AI enabled disaster like bio or cyber terrorism or frankly even mass surveillance by then and everyone’s like oh well

NEW: NASA has increased the chance a major asteroid smashes into Earth in 2032, now giving it a 3.1% chance, up from 2.6% last week. NASA says the odds the asteroid hits Earth is 1 in 32. It is big enough to wipe out an entire city. The large cities with the highest risk are Bogotá, Abidjan, Lagos, Khartoum, Mumbai, Kolkata and Dhaka. According to experts, the 177-foot diameter asteroid would release 8 megatons of energy on impact, 500 times the energy released by the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. NASA has successfully tested asteroid deflection technologies. China will also be testing its own technology on a small asteroid in 2027. "This is not a crisis at this point in time. This is not the dinosaur killer. This is not the planet killer. This is at most dangerous for a city," said the head of the European Space Agency's planetary defense office, Richard Moissl.

- if you're going to buy a business, make sure you own the building it is in (THIS ONE WAS HUGE)
- if you don't take risks, you'll be stuck working at the jail of your career wondering "what if..."
Go get it.

- where do you see opportunities to leverage your knowledge and passion?
- do you have an opportunity to take the thing you're already doing and build it out horizontally to add value?
- who around you is ambitious as you are and wants to build a life you can hang your hat on
English
The takeaways as I see them:
- where do you have a slight edge over the competition and what can you do to start yourself a step ahead of everyone else?
- can you do something at your job right now so you can paying your bills but make progress on your exit plan during the day?
English
While in his 30's with kids, James said finding someone in her 20's who was ambitious and driven with similar goals as his allowed him to find the edge he needed to stay ahead of the competition
English
James also credits his success to luck and timing but would agree that the more success he has, the less those things seem to factor in
James also gives credit largely to his partner
English
James found an area where he had a slight edge over the competition and then leveraged that to put himself ahead from the start
That leverage was what allowed him to find openings in the real estate business where he could then compound his growth through strategic moves
English
James paid the small fee to get his realtors license, signed up with a brokerage and listed a couple friend's houses. Within a couple days he had sold his first two houses and suspected he was onto something
English
Now here's the catch,
James didn't just dive into real estate blind. James had an unfair advantage
For years James had been buying and selling properties, managing rental properties and helping friends buy and sell houses in the background
English
Pure genius
Build a business and then bolt on every horizontal value add you can find that relates to your business
English
Now the building his brokerage was in housed realtors, some of whom paid him part of their commission being part of his team, all of whom paid his brokerage, and used the services of the mortgage broker, lawyer and home inspector that rented space inside the building he owned
English
James took a page right out of Codie Sanchez's play book
Inside that building he layered a mortgage broker, a real estate lawyer, a home inspector and other realtors
English
James bought the building and a month later the brokerage that was inside the building, but he didn't stop there
English
The building the brokerage was in was also for sale and his accountant told him he had better own a tangible asset in the case he had to sell or things didn't go his way
This is where things really took off for James
