@mkobach lol top-of-mind recall? "Remember that place where I face planted?" "Can't ever forget it!"

@jacobvanags Yes! It’s restaurants that lead to a playground. Why would they design stairs that basically assure you trip after a few drinks?

Who can tell me why these stairs are poorly designed? There is only one right answer.

@acertainben No no! Real life, post-college. At a bar in LA

@jacobvanags Oh yeah, I forgot about Pops

Always wanted to be in a band that did a medley

@streamyardapp how long does it normally take for support to respond to a ticket? I'm on an advanced trial, considering a switch... but haven't heard back for 2 days on one question

When you see someone whose behavior doesn’t make any sense, keep in mind that from their point of view, it’s your behavior that doesn’t make any sense; mentally do it at scale, and you will understand society.

@Uber_Support an item we had scheduled to deliver to us was delivered to a completely different address and the driver is not helping us

@AlexHormozi A lot of comment guys here but here's the corrected tweet anyway I know it’s hard for you to believe that someone really can put in 10,000 times more work than you, but they can. and that’s how they can achieve 10,000x the outcome. output = volume x leverage

@TheOGPAW if you and the tony rizzo show want to support two NE Ohio brothers/Cleveland fans making the world's greatest travel/transformation show, we have some hundreds to throw at you 😂. If you need a fill-in sponsor, here's the pilot season trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=3IiFGW…

@rydoyle Yep (I haven’t tried one yet but know they’re here). Mostly working out of the apt or downstairs at the coffee shop. But the infrastructure is here for sure

@jacobvanags wow, had no idea they'd have coworks like this in mongolia

skip bangkok, go to north thailand

@rydoyle It has gotten much better for it over the years for sure! (I have some friends here which is why I stay every few years) Yeah looking forward to it - last time I was there was 2014 for very different reasons haha. And yep! I think my main spot is right there

@jacobvanags Nice! Just here for the week then back to Bali. Mongolia good for DNing? Chiang Mai is really easy and enjoyable, stay in the Nimman area

@rydoyle Good to know the WiFi is fast

@rydoyle Nice - not sure how or when I started following you haha. But I’m in Mongolia rn and about to be in chiang mai from mid sep to nov to work (and also train and take motos into the mountains everyday)

@TheOGPAW @TheRealTRizzo @HammerNation19 got TLOD pumping out here driving across Mongolia. Always gotta keep up with the latest browns drama

@NathanZegura @BeauBishop got you on out here driving across Mongolia. Gotta keep up with the latest

@NeelBParekh But what if it was spelled Phear instead?

So I'm on a Zoom call with a franchise prospect last Tuesday... And he drops this bomb on me: "I've been researching franchises for 18 months now." 18 months. EIGHTEEN. MONTHS. I'm like, "Cool, sooooo you're ready to move forward?" "Well, I'm still comparing a few more options. Want to make sure I pick the perfect one." Here's the thing that I realized after having literally hundreds of these conversations... The people who actually pull the trigger versus the ones who research forever is NOT about money. It's not about experience. It's not even about the "perfect" opportunity. It comes down to four things. And once you understand these, everything changes. POOF - The Four Killers: P - Procrastination O - Overwhelm O - Overthinking F - Fear (I tried really hard to make the acronym POOP but couldn’t find a better substitute for Fear) Let me break down how to actually eliminate each of these 4 Killers: Procrastination (Killer #1) → Desire (the fix) When someone is crystal clear on what they want - like really crystal clear - there's no procrastination. They move fast because they know exactly where they're going. But most people? They're trying to eat healthy instead of wanting to eat healthy. Big difference. The goal isn't to start a franchise. The goal is to want it so bad you can taste it. When your desire hits 11/10, procrastination dies. Overwhelm (Killer #2) → Prioritization (the fix) Sounds boring as hell, I know. But people just don't do it. A guy last month told me he has a checklist of 32 different things he needed to "figure out" before buying a franchise. Thirty-two! The winners? They ask one question: "What's the ONE thing that moves me forward today?" Still hard work. But it doesn't have to be guesswork. Overthinking (Killer #3) → Constraints (the fix) If you're an overthinker, congrats - you probably have a higher than normal IQ. You're so smart that you're actually dumb. You can see everything that could go wrong, every scenario, every risk. But here's the cure: artificial constraints. Example: if you need to pay your electricity bill or it gets shut off in 30 minutes, I promise you, you'll figure it out real quick and get that solved. Same principle. "I'm buying a franchise by August 26th". And post it on social media. Suddenly all that analysis becomes laser-focused action. Fear (Killer #4) → Action (the fix) My favorite quote: "Action creates clarity." Sometimes we sit around for months getting ready to get ready. But you can't see the path until you start walking. Fear paralyzes. Action illuminates. It's like holding a lamp in a video game…you only see as far as you move. The franchise prospects who succeed? They feel the fear and take the first step anyway. Because they know the next step will reveal itself. Real talk: 18-month research guy is still researching. Meanwhile, the person I talked to last week already signed their franchise agreement and starts training next month. Same opportunities. Different approach to POOF. P.S. - If you've been "researching" anything for more than 3 months, you're not researching anymore. You're hiding.

@jake_burns18 same thing with quite literally every topic in life (money, sports, politics, everyyyything) 100% confidence while only seeing 15% of the whole picture

@NeelBParekh It used to give a bunch of fire and rocket emojis too but I think they said they toned that down since 🔥 🚀

@jacobvanags hahah there has to be some algo change on the backend for this, its borderline sarcastic sounding

Is anyone else’s ChatGPT overly glazing them with compliments lately? Me: “Hey ChatGPT, can you fix this sentence?” ChatGPT: “Of course, brilliant wordsmith and master of ideas!” Am I being gaslit?

@NeelBParekh (It's cool but it's not genius)

@NeelBParekh I explored a language learning idea in depth a month or so ago and it was so complimentary that I asked it if it was just being nice or the idea was pure genius. It responded that the idea was genius and that I could change the face of language learning with it.
