@marcrandolph Love this. Thank you for sharing!

Every successful career I've ever known was filled with long periods of meandering, months or even years when no one knew what would happen next. Look at me: I started as a geology major turned failed realtor. I then ended up founding several companies, one of which ended up becoming @netflix

I have a dream to create the Elfstedentocht on the north shore of Lake Superior. 198 km of outdoor skating starting in Red Rock. An annual skating race starting in Red Rock and racing around Nipigon Bay! It's going to happen ;)

I hit the golden Willy Wonka chocolate bar!

A friend shared this picture from camp after a winter wallop. Lake effect snow off the Great Lakes is real!

@NavalismHQ @naval Love this

@CraigBaird Stop in Red Rock Ontario, top of Lake Superior!

Since 2021, I have tried to plan spending the spring & summer travelling Canada in my car, seeing this great nation. Each year I have to put it off. This year I am doing it. Even if I am car camping the whole way, I am seeing this country coast-to-coast-to-coast.

@NavalismHQ @naval It takes courage, which is even harder after failure.

Big companies and repeat entrepreneurs struggle to go from zero to one because they refuse to restart at zero. @naval

@buridansridge Hot...

Skilled male seducers understand that women's kryptonite is a grounded, authentic, and calm masculine man. He is often disarmingly honest, but in an eloquent way. He allows for her to be who she desires to be in his presence. Seduction is about satisfying her desire to feel safe and seen. Mystery is the mistress of desire. Infer how you feel, because things don't always need to be spelled out clearly. Women want to read between the lines. We fall in love through our minds. If we think about you because we are trying to solve you, our minds will do the work for you.

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation. This is known as one of medicine's most incredible moments. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child. The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with a new purified extract: it was called insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom became a place of joy and hope. In the early 1920s Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under the directorship of John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip insulin was purified, making it available for the successful treatment of diabetes. In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1. Banting and Macleod earned a Nobel Prize for their work in 1923.
