Scaling-Self

What I hate about the modern day is how gender-specific marketing has become: - Men: sports betting apps, crypto gambling, leveraged trading, ‘passive income’ grifts - Women: MLMs, BNPL debt, influencer-driven overconsumption The genius of both is making the scam feel like part of your identity so that leaving it feels like losing a part of yourself and not just money.

Simple, high quality diet decisions remove a lot of unnecessary friction from life. Less decision fatigue. Less random eating. Less energy wasted thinking about what to make. A good food system looks like: • a few go to meals • protein with every meal • carbs that actually fuel you • easy fruit and snacks around training • groceries kept simple • meals built for consistency, not entertainment

I could eat this meal daily for the rest of my life and never get tired of it

based on my personal experience, you should create a meal ritual the main focus lies on getting high-quality food without wasting valuable energy on decision fatigue simplicity is key and the best part is: you have more time for what matters most (family and work)

Sunday Lifts. Random dude walks infront of the flic. Notices—apologizes—offers to take photos. Simple act of kindness, led into a simple back and forth chat, now just another person I can connect with. Confidence shows not just by stature, but by leadership of initiation. How to look, and stay lean. Part2: - Calorie Deficit (consume fewer calories then body burns energy (fat)) plus-points if you’re eating healthy. Don’t overcomplicate it, just simplify your life. You’ll really see how life becomes more manageable once you understand how to manage yourself. • We all get snack cravings—fruits, nuts, and water with electrolytes will be your best friend. Sourdough with butter & honey also soothes that sweet tooth. - Sleep 7h+ Aids muscle growth, feel better mentally too. don’t rely on supplements to carry physiological load, you’ll regret it later on. - Move more than you think Cardio will be your bestfriend, but it comes in many simple forms as well • Stairmaster • Walking / Running • Sports Innovate here if needed. As long as you’re burning cal’s / moving around. - Do a core exercise every workout In its name, it’s the core of your whole body. You operate a lot cleaner when your core-strength is intact. • Nice-Abs showing is essentially a mix of low bf% + strengthened core. Last but definitely not least, show up. Don’t get lazy and complacent. Improvise if you need to. Consciously try to stack more each workout—reps, weight, time. It all pays off in due time. Also, if anyone has tips for lower back, would be appreciated :)

Finally! Been waiting for months now! My M1 has done a great job over the last 6 years and works still fine for most of my tasks, but is time for some extra power! (Can’t go with the Pro since it would be difficult to charge on my 12V DC system on both our sailboat and van).

I have been so burnt out, I am unable to open twitter at all.

A big part of overcoming burnout is realizing you were never meant to be “on” all the time. That realization alone can start bringing your nervous system back to regulation. Because healthy regulation in burnout recovery doesn’t just look like “resting more.” It looks like: • getting off the phone before bed • sleeping instead of pushing one more task • eating real meals before you crash • going for a walk without needing it to be productive • doing one thing properly instead of forcing ten • reducing noise so your mind can actually breathe Not only does this help regulate you, it raises your baseline, so you can move with more discipline, clarity, and intention.

Mitchell Green is the co-founder and managing partner of Lead Edge Capital, a $9B growth equity firm he founded in 2011. For 15 years, he and his partners have built one of the most disciplined investment machines in the business, designed to deliver consistent returns by hitting doubles and triples rather than chasing power law outcomes. He obsesses over avoiding zeros and is constantly underwriting investments to know exactly when to sell. He has built a unique culture at Lead Edge, sending handwritten thank you notes to nearly everyone he meets and sitting down one on one with every person at the firm once a year. He is, by his own admission, one of the most persistent and competitive people you will meet. After the episode, he told me he believes the most important thing in life is to be memorable. You will find, listening to this conversation, that he very much is.
