Your partner’s current life is your future life. “When you select a partner, whether you realise it or not, you are choosing a whole lifestyle, and not just the person. You’re choosing their sleep schedule. You’re choosing their money habits. You’re choosing their stress levels, their family drama, their levels of cleanliness, their work ethic, their coping mechanisms. All of these things will be a baseline of your daily life. If their normal is doom scrolling till 2 a.m., avoiding all conflict, impulse spending and never exercising, guess what? You’re signing up to live in that ecosystem. Love does not cancel out people’s flaws. In fact, love just makes you tolerate them for longer. Most people obsess over ‘do we have romantic chemistry?’ And they completely skip ‘can I live with this person’s version of Tuesday every week for the next 10 years?’ The hard truth is, you don’t fix somebody’s lifestyle from the inside. You either accept the package as they are or you walk.” — @Markmanson

An incredible message from a man who has now met his Maker. May you rest in peace, Vander James.

I’ll likely never post about this again, but I felt compelled as someone many young women look up to and often misunderstand. I love my husband. I love my independence. I love being a CEO. But more than anything, I love love. Somehow we’ve been told we have to choose: Be strong or be soft. Be ambitious or be nurturing. Be independent or value men. But the truth is, the most fulfilled women I know live on the AND, not the OR. I want to build companies, lead teams, land make big decisions all day and I also want to come home, let my husband make decisions and cook for him because it brings me joy and comfort. That duality doesn’t make me less. It makes me a human. Being independent is empowering… but dependence (the healthy kind) is what creates closeness. It’s what builds trust, connection, and a life that’s bigger than what you can do alone. Somewhere along the way, hyper-individual culture convinced us that needing no one was the ultimate achievement. That being self-sufficient in every area was the goal. But that mindset the one that keeps you guarded, controlled, relentlessly “strong” is the exact energy that can quickly erode your relationship. At work, that energy makes you extraordinarily successful. At home, it makes you intolerable. I see so many women struggling with this not because they’re wrong, but because no one ever taught them the tools to thrive in BOTH spaces. An adaptive trait at work, is often maladaptive at home. Meanwhile, a lot of girls are busy trying to impress other girls on IG… polishing an image instead of building a life. Somehow it became “uncool” to love men, appreciate them, depend on them, or let them be what they want to be. Unfiltered truth: If you refuse to depend on your man for anything, you remove the very thing most men find meaning in to provide, protect, and build something with you. Not because you’re weak. But because you’re worth providing for. And men feel this deeply … even when they don’t say it. Women feel it too the desire to contribute in ways that aren’t measured in dollars, but in presence, warmth, and care. This isn’t about choosing tradition or modernity and it is NOT about choosing men over yourself. It’s about the courage to want a life that includes both strength and softness, ambition and partnership, independence and interdependence. I love my independence. I love my husband. But the real power .. or even *magic* is choosing a life where both can exist without canceling each other out. A life where love isn’t a threat to your strength but the very thing that makes you stronger.

@popespeech @ProfStanciu Do you do animation work like this for others?

@daremarket Interesting

dare market is now live. welcome to the most unhinged platform on the internet. app.daremarket.com reply for an invite code.

This feels like a nightmare. One of the most horrific things I’ve ever seen. I feel absolutely gutted and devastated. Pray for Charlie Kirk’s soul, his young family and for our country. The violence and hatred has to stop. Our country needs Christ now more than ever.

@michaeljknowles The crazy thing is your situation is very common. And often they don’t tell you what the situation is or how to resolve it. Finally something is happening about this

I’m pleased to say Stripe has reached out to resolve this strange issue, which appears to have begun with a government administrative error rather than intentional de-banking. As we investigate, I’m even more pleased to say that we’re also exploring legislative solutions to the lack of transparency that often makes these issues unresolvable for countless Americans. Will discuss more on the show and keep everyone posted as this develops.

@laurenstijssen Yes 🙌

95% of people shouldn’t be running a business. → Can’t read → Can’t listen → Can’t answer 2 questions in one reply → Can’t solve basic problems with screenshots handed to them It’s not a mindset issue. It’s basic functional incompetence.

@JonnyBones Finally, it looked like you were ducking at first. But this makes sense

It would be, for me it’s about the opportunity to represent America at the White House. I don’t care who I fight that night. I found my reason why, that’s what I needed, something that was more than money

@ChrisWillx Hey @ChrisWillx would love to interview you for Psychology Today

How To Choose A Good Partner

@TateTheTalisman This isn’t Dave Portnoy

His stupid “man child pizza review” game is now over. People have realised kicking him out is better for business than letting him stuff his face and give you a score. There will be more of these.

@ChaelSonnen 10

Liver King challenged Joe Rogan to a grappling match. On a scale of 1-10 how much does this interest you?

@MrFourToEight Almafi is good but not much to do, Lake Como is “picture perfect vibes” Very peaceful, but incredibly beautiful scenery

Meeting my girl in Europe July 1. No plan. Staying a month-ish. Im not chasing parties… looking for 6am views, ocean air, coffee shops, downloads, and some adventures. I’m thinking Amalfi to start? Need spots that are beautiful, peaceful, and memorable. Give me your recs!!!

@MrFourToEight Give out some free game and look at mine 👀 to see what i should change - instagram.com/ulyses

For those of you building a “personal brand” Here’s some genuine advice from me to you. I don’t know if I’ve done it the right way (if there is one), but I’ve made enough money to retire the people I love, and I live a very happy, very fucking exciting life. hope this helps🤙

@JonnyBones You’re using chatgpt

That’s the problem with some young men, you think your last outcome is your legacy. That’s why when many of you fall short, you can’t find the strength to return. But here’s the truth: your legacy isn’t your last move. Legacy is what no one can take from you. It’s built over time, not defined by a single win or loss. If you’re reading this, your legacy is far from over. We wake up each day with a chance to build, to add, to rise. Make yours beautiful.

This just escalated

The world will make you think that every blessing has to be financial, so you underrate the gift of life, family, health, and peace of mind

@JonnyBones Hey Jon would love to interview you for Forbes if you’re ever down for it 🙏

Thank you I’m glad you liked it

I still have desires. Still have goals. But I don’t feel compelled anymore. And that’s a better kind of freedom than money ever gave me. Most guys have to go through the full cycle to get it. There’s no shortcut. But once you get it… there’s no going back.

Stop spending just to feel something. Stop chasing noise. Start valuing peace, real people, and God. For me, peace is top of the food chain. I don’t need to be the loudest in the room. I don’t need to beat anyone. And for the first time in a long time — no FOMO.

It’s wild how predictable the cycle is for almost every guy who starts making real money. You chase it hard. The cars. The watches. The penthouse. The validation. The FREEDOM. The “no one can tell me sh*t” energy. Then you get it. You buy the things.
