In 2012, I was 30 years old and 100lbs overweight. Over the last 11 years I have lost 100lbs and kept it off. Now I help other people achieve the same success Here’s the 10 step framework I used to lose the weight and keep it off and how you can too!

Reading a book is among the most high-leverage activities on earth. What are you reading today? 👇🏼

@technopopulist Say Nothing is a phenomenal read

Slop.

@DrNadolsky Everyone who’s been taking it for months now

Everyone today when the first retatrutide phase 3 data came out

@DivyaMangotra When Breath Becomes Air was phenomenal.

5 Books I would sell my soul to read again: 1. When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi: At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both. Inspiring, Motivating and a thought provoking read. 2. The Common Sense Diet by Rujuta Diwekar: Her books have completely transformed the way I think about living a healthy life. In this book, she cuts through fads like intermittent fasting, high-protein diets, gut cleanses, and India’s latest millet obsession. Her simple, practical approach removes the fear and confusion around food—making eating healthy so much simpler, and honestly, a non-negotiable. 3. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki: This book was a life-changing read and pushed me to start investing in stocks and mutual funds. It’s the perfect beginner-friendly read for anyone intimidated by financial jargon or the world of money. Kiyosaki breaks down the difference between working for money and making your money work for you—an eye-opening shift that stays with you long after you finish the book. 4. Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez: Don’t let the romance label fool you, this book digs deep into a doctor’s personal and professional struggles. As she navigates a divorce, fights for a promotion, and desperately searches for a kidney donor for her brother, the story unfolds with remarkable sensitivity. It’s captivating, heartfelt, and beautifully written. If you’ve ever supported a loved one through chronic illness, this book feels like a warm, understanding hug. 5. Atomic Habits by James Clear: If there’s one book that can genuinely change your life, it’s this one. Atomic Habits is a practical, data-driven guide that helps you understand the “why” behind your behaviors and how tiny changes create massive transformation. It’s easy to read, incredibly actionable, and reshapes the way you think about progress, discipline, and long-term success. If you could read one book again for the very first time, which one would it be?

Finally read it this year and was blown away. The determination of the men to survive was incredible. Great book to read for a different reaction to similar situation is The Wager by David Grann. Really shows how different group dynamics and leadership tactics impact a situation

One of the best books of all time Re-read it every time I catch myself thinking something in my life is hard Complete frame reset on a what hard actually looks like

Sweet book haul from the Friends of the Library book sale. Can’t wait to dive in.

About 100 pages into this fantastic book by Erik Larson. Tremendous true story of an American family’s experience in Germany during the first year of Hitler’s reign. Highly recommend both this book and his book The Splendid and the Vile if you want a non fiction book that reads like fiction.

@Giuliano_Mana I’ve got this on my list to read by the end of year. @FoundersPodcast episode on it was excellent

Back to business biographies.

@AJA_Cortes Arguing on the internet is even more pointless than arguing in person. You aren’t going to convince anyone to actually change their mind, especially by being shitty. Post your beliefs, support them with evidence and ignore the people talking shit. Live your life.

Fitness X is arguing again and being silly: FYI reminder friends You are in an algorithmic fish bowl in which about 50-100 accounts all respond and parrot each other "Everyone is talking about this!" You've fallen into the trap. You then compete with the other nodes and it becomes a status and counter signaling game -how to break out of this? Post what you want and ignore everyone else --at any given time, there's only a handful of original thinkers and innovators in any industry who post anything interesting Everyone copies them, counter posts, and the 5% lead the 95%

@AlexAndBooks_ @p_millerd Just finished these two incredible books. Starting The Lost City of Z by @DavidGrann next

What book are you currently reading? For me it's "The Pathless Path" by @p_millerd.

Reading these books back to back has been such a cool look at how differently two groups of people can respond to similar circumstances. Shackleton’s crew banded together even when everything seemed totally hopeless while the crew of The Wager completely fell apart and started warring under arguably slightly better conditions. 10/10 recommend both books. Even better when read together.

Incredible story of perseverance and determination. Easily my favorite read this year. 10/10

@AJA_Cortes Agree with all of this except I had excellent results at just .5mg a week for the first 3 weeks. I then titrated up to .5mg twice a week for a few weeks which was fantastic. Slowly have worked my way up to 1mg twice a week. Zero side effects and tremendous benefits.

@FitWealthyU This is exactly why I have every client I work with track for at least a few weeks. You can’t possibly know your calorie intake if you don’t track for awhile. It is like never looking at your expenses and income and expecting to manage your finances properly.

Cannot stress this enough. It's impossible to make better decisions with your diet if you're ignorant to your caloric intake. And I *GUARANTEE* that your guesses are wildly wrong, initially. of

@zeay66 😂 I’m sure your wife loved that 😂

@nbabbitz Me too! i joked that i talk to Chatgpt more than my wife!

ChatGPT has made problems that previously were seen and felt as too hard to accomplish as “yeah i could probably figure that out”..What’s funny is that was always the case but the friction and inertia was too high to overcome.

@YorkshireBook48 Incredible book. What these men went through is incomprehensible.

So Book Twitter, it looks like we are so back! Delighted to see so many book lovers are still active on here 😀 Please tell me your latest read and keep the book chat going! This is mine, 3/4 of the way in and not entirely sure how I feel 😅📚

@zeay66 @FoundersPodcast Great decision. The only one I haven’t read yet in the Benjamin Franklin book and it’s next on my list. Walter Isaacson is an incredible writer

@FoundersPodcast Your elon musk review made me buy the book, but then i decided why not just buy the set by Walter Isaacson! My wife’s gonna kill me

@MMAWeeklycom Not sure why it was controversial, Dern won the striking every round. Sure Virna took her down but she didn’t do anything with it. Thought it was a pretty clear win for Dern

Mackenzie Dern defeats Virna Jandiroba in controversial decision at UFC 321 mmaweekly.com/news/mackenzie…

@uncrownedcombat @arielhelwani Heavyweight division is cooked. No real contenders right now. Fuck it, let Alex move up and fight the winner of Aspinal/Gane

Does Volkov get the next title shot at HW? #UFC321
