Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

Went to a wedding this weekend. I had 7-8 drinks at the welcome party/rehearsal dinner, and ran 7 miles the next morning. Hangovers aren’t real

Ollie Watkins just scored a double to beat Man City, away, after a 3 day session in Istanbul.

Walking alone through a foreign city at night, realizing how far you’ve come. Top 3 peak moments ever.

Cristian Romero is now back in London and will attend Spurs’ game against Everton as they look to secure Premier League survival.🇦🇷

I found a Barcelona Lewandowski jersey at Goodwill this week. Clearly a sign to invest in atgs.

I had a 9-5 job paying more than $400k and quit 6 months ago because it incrementally made my life boring and uninspired and degraded my quality of life and mental health I always dreamed that one day I would be a full time founder and not rely on a biweekly paycheck. I had a voice in my head telling me to do something more exciting and with more impact than just maxing out 401k contributions and having 20 days of paid vacation per year in a “chill job”. I wanted to build something that was truly mine, that could financially support and intellectually satisfy me And not because I wanted to have a bunch of money and be “rich”. Because I wanted to be in charge of my life, my vacations, my 10am on Tuesday and my 3pm on Thursday. I wanted to go to the gym in the middle of the day and generally spend my time as I see fit But I was risk averse. I didn’t quit my job, instead I was a chronic side hustler / wantrepreneur. Built all sorts of small internet businesses that would make a little revenue but never enough to unchain from a stable salary. Dozens of these little businesses over the last 10 years. I knew (hoped) that one day, one of these projects would get traction or show disproportionate opportunity. Something will offer me escape velocity if I keep trying Eventually I started posting daily videos online telling the story of a wantrepreneur, made some mobile apps, and began to earn a strong enough income outside of my 9-5 to finally take the bet on myself and leave my job. “golden handcuffs” is an accurate term. how can a 28yo walk away from his high income and low stress job? must be an idiot Strangers on the internet insist you’re an idiot. Your parents and friends question your decision or reasoning. All conventional wisdom suggests to suck it up, keep your head down, hold onto that W2 income as long as you can, never let go, fill up your retirement 401k and Roth IRA for as long as possible and collect your RSUs and 2.7% annual raise every year until you can’t anymore. Everyone is different. Don’t listen to other people projecting their risk aversion onto you. Be brave. Life is short. Don’t be a little bitch. Don’t give up and don’t settle. It’s your life we’re talking about. Romanticize it and chase your dreams. Don’t be a little bitch!
