Being genuinely interested in other people is a superpower few are developing.

The best conversations happen after everyone agrees it's time to go home.

We spend the first half of life wanting to grow up faster and the second half wondering what the rush was.

We have more access to information than any generation in human history. And we use it to argue with strangers about sports. 😁

Watching Arsenal today with no stress and knowing there’s a trophy celebration at the end is surreal!

@jbneverenough @garyvee James, that's great insight.

@garyvee I work as a physio and have always said that empathy is the best skill you can have. you can learn anatomy, pathology and treatment strategies, but understanding what someone is going through and where they want to go is what separates the good from the great.

Empathy is the quiet skill that changes everything

Johnny Carson and Dean Martin are both trending tonight. There's something beautiful about that. Two men who made millions of strangers feel like they were welcome at the table. That's a legacy worth remembering.

@AFeranmi51972 @garyvee toughest part is weaving interesting stories and research together to drive the narrative forward. but AI eases that process 10x!

@alexbbarrett @garyvee That's a different kind of pacing than fiction. What's the hardest part, making the psychology accessible without oversimplifying, or keeping the story momentum going?

I need you to take that “chance” .. That girl, that guy, that job, that company, that idea, that friend, that meeting, that moment. I want to be your shield, so you can go out and actually try. If you want to get to the places you’ve never been .. you gotta do the things you’ve never done ...

@AFeranmi51972 @garyvee I would say it’s narrative nonfiction / popular psychology

@alexbbarrett @garyvee Wow congrats 👏🎉🎉 What genre do you write

😂😜…same

The person who needs to win every argument has already lost something more important.

💯

We say someone “finally broke through” after years of obscurity. But if you look closely, the breakthrough was always just the moment other people started paying attention. The work was already there.

The best memories from this weekend probably won’t be the ones you planned.

@EditSynergy @garyvee Yes I’m interested

@alexbbarrett @garyvee That is amazing, so would you want feedback on it?

@EditSynergy @garyvee Thanks! Narrative nonfiction / popular psychology

@alexbbarrett @garyvee Alex that is really huge. What genre is it?

@goodreads Lost City of Z

It's Friday! What are you reading this weekend?

Document your curiosity. Talk about the random stuff you actually care about—whether it’s golf tech or the perfect mezcal! (those are mine, btw) 😄

Some people are just really good at being alive. You know the ones. They laugh easy, they're never in a hurry, and they make you feel like the conversation matters. Be that person today.
