A pattern I've noticed in stuck people: They're always busy. They never stop moving. They have 47 tabs open and a notebook-sized to-do list. But if you ask them what they accomplished this week that actually matters, their mind goes blank. Busyness isn't a badge of honor.

@Retail_Guru The Delta CEO, shared the same sentiment earlier this week for customers at the “top end of the K”. The “premium consumer is becoming more immune to the headlines”.

Wary of extrapolating but despite being smashed on war fears, trading surprisingly brisk at luxury in Rome including beleaguered LV-Dior. Hermes, Cartier strong; even Chanel excitement despite losing sheen. May be downturns but top franchises are 💎 $HESAY $CFRUY $LVMUY $RACE

@ChrisCamillo 🤣 🤣

Any chance this peace deal somehow ends with an $NVDA-powered, $BE-fueled $AMZN data center in Tehran?

This is funny. What if you invested in the S&P 500 every time CNBC had a "Markets in Turmoil" special? Well... your average return after one year would be 40%, with a 100% success rate.

@jordan_ross_8F …they leaked the code base.

Anthropic ran their entire marketing operation with one person. $380 billion company. Paid search. Paid social. SEO. Email. App stores. One non-technical hire doing all of it — for 10 months. I pulled it apart. Compared it to every system we've built across the clients we've worked with. Then asked myself one question: If I had to reverse engineer this from scratch — what would it actually look like? Turns out the architecture isn't that complicated. I mapped the whole thing into a 47-page PDF you can upload directly to any LLM. It coaches you through building your own version step by step. Comment "marketing" and I'll send it over.

Every workplace has a Strait of Hormuz. You and your coworkers just have to find it and shut it down.

"Advice given to any young person: "I can't tell you what to do. I can tell who what I've done. I've instinctively never gotten into a zero-sum business, such as academia, sports, bureaucracy, etc. The mark of a zero-sum business is hierarchy." " -

@readswithravi If I love the book, I buy both. E-book come in handy when physical book is out of reach.

Do you still favor reading physical books over e-books?

“A mind that’s all logic is like a knife that’s all blade. It cuts the hand that wields it.” —Rabindranath Tagore

"I'm not a creative person." No, you are, everyone is, but your mind is just clogged by all of the podcasts and social media you ram into it without properly digesting it. You're conditioned to believe you can only take a certain path in life, and you don't daydream or entertain stupid ideas that could set you on an entirely new trajectory. You're so obsessed with being productive and efficient that you feel like you're always falling behind, and that stress prevents you from thinking outside the box. You need to slow the fuck down, allow yourself to be bored (actually bored, not so overstimulated that you find enjoyable things boring), and pursue a life that you design, not one that was assigned to you.

we teach people to “follow their passion” instead of reading market signals. then they’re shocked when the thing they love doesn’t pay. passion is a preference. markets are information. you need both but you need to understand which one is which. study markets

the stock market is the only place where the smartest and dumbest people in the world willingly spend time together

@NicoleBehnam Well said Nicole.

Falling in love is a top-tier experience and it’s crazy to me that people rearrange their whole lives for a portfolio return but won’t rearrange a single habit for the most transcendent experience a human can have.

@AlexHormozi @dom_lucre Thank you for saying this out loud Alex🙏

@dom_lucre They said the same thing about index funds and Wealth Advisors, yet here we are. It will eliminate some, not all. Some people just like people.

@atomcash Great call. You are missed.

$8 more... $RXT looking great 💪

@bgurley @NYUStern @Gladwell Are you doing a book signing this week in NYC?

New York City: Join me tomorrow at 5PM at @NYUStern for a discussion with Malcolm Gladwell (@Gladwell). Open to students & non-students. We will discuss my new book, "Runnin' Down a Dream," as well as his, "Revenge of the Tipping Point." Super excited. luma.com/w9d49y1e?mc_ci…

Ingmar Bergman’s description of the creative process accurately reflects how normal human reasoning works (according to the research). Intuition decides, then intellect justifies.

if your friends aren’t talking about: - claude code - creatine - openclaw - looksmaxxing - ai agents - taste - prediction markets - mac mini time to find new friends

So apparently this is a kids clothing label. Values appropriate for current era 🙄

I 100% agree with @mcuban on this. If you are on a custom career path where you aim to differentiate yourself, AI is "jet fuel" - you can learn and soar faster than ever before.
