"How does @elonmusk do it?" The most in-depth conversation I've ever had, with the man who has studied more entrepreneurs than anyone else alive, @davidsenra. Check this out, I guarantee you will get more done this week.

Layers aren’t management, they’re a lie multiplier. Each suit adds its own spin to look good until the CEO is sealed in a fantasy bubble, blind to the real work. Elon’s hack? Rip out every filter and stare straight at the substance. No wonder the old giants rot while his accelerate.

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

I needed to hear this. Frequently I need to remind myself of things like this.....👊🏾

Everything is Computer, but Computer isn't Everything!

This is the way

@martinvars Agreed

Everyone is debating whether the Iran strikes are justified. I want to talk about what comes after. Iran has 90 million people, one of the most educated populations in the Middle East, world class engineers, a young generation that grew up on VPNs and banned Instagram accounts hungry for connection with the West. Under the regime, all of that talent has been buried under theocracy and sanctions. A free Iran is not just a geopolitical win. It is the biggest market opening since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Imagine Iranian startups, Iranian universities unchained, Iranian women building companies instead of hiding their hair from morality police. The same country that invented algebra and gave the world Avicenna has been reduced to exporting terror and executing dissidents. Every entrepreneur should be rooting for regime change in Tehran. Not because of politics. Because 90 million talented people deserve to build, create, and trade with the world. That is what liberation actually looks like.

Credit: Worth Sharing app After her F-15E Strike Eagle was mistakenly shot down in a friendly-fire incident, a female U.S. Air Force pilot ejected safely and descended into Kuwait. Uncertain of what awaited her on the ground, she landed in unfamiliar terrain. What happened next is what the world should remember. Video captured by bystanders shows Kuwaiti locals rushing toward her — not with anger, not with hostility — but with concern. A man can be heard repeatedly asking if she was okay, if she needed help. His voice carried urgency, but also compassion. Then, in a moment that has resonated across social media, he thanked her for helping them. In the middle of conflict, politics, and international tension, ordinary people chose kindness. At a time when narratives often paint entire religions or cultures with a broad brush, this moment stands as a powerful reminder: goodness is not confined to nationality, race, or faith. Compassion does not carry a passport. Kuwait is a Muslim-majority nation. The men who rushed to help that American pilot were Muslims. And in that moment, what defined them was not religion or geopolitics — it was humanity. They saw a person in need and responded. History is filled with headlines about division, extremism, and violence. But far more common — and far less reported — are everyday acts of decency. Neighbors helping neighbors. Strangers protecting strangers. Human beings recognizing shared vulnerability. The image of that pilot descending from the sky and being met not with hostility but with reassurance tells a deeper story: that beneath the noise of conflict, most people simply want peace, safety, and dignity for all. Kindness is universal. It transcends borders. It speaks every language. And sometimes, in the most unexpected places, it shines the brightest.

This lady ate a surface-to-air missile, sustained a 12-14 G rocket-propelled ejection, likely hit the ground at 15+ miles per hour… And then she popped up smiling at the locals who came to help her. Tell me again that women don’t belong in combat.

This family was holding a private memorial for one of the tens of thousands of massacred martyrs of the Lion and Sun Revolution, Mohammad Rabei (43), when they received the news that Khamenei had been killed. So they began celebrating amidst their mourning.

Being able to effectively eliminate a major regional power’s entire military without taking a single casualty is honestly an absolutely insane feat.

"Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei..." - President Donald J. Trump

Trump gonna eat for free at every Persian restaurant in the world.
