Just recorded my first ever online video presenting GymGate 🤗 It felt quite weird, and I know the quality and my accent are quite shit, please don't blame me :( Anyway, the waitlist for GymGate is live, I would be super happy if you sign up in the comments for free access! 🥳

Hi Guys, its been a while. I have been working on a new idea i would like to get your oppinion about. What do you think about a software that provides real time assistance in any kind of negotiation calls like e.g. salary negotiations?

You do not need a perfect plan, you need a start. Pick a simple full body routine, track it, and let time compound your effort.

If you struggle with motivation, make the gym fun and automatic. That is why I am building Gymatic, an app that tracks your sessions for you so you only focus on showing up.

"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day" by Jim Rohn. Training, protein, sleep, repeat until people call it genetics.

The gym taught me more about patience than any book. You cannot rush a deadlift and you cannot rush a decade of progress.

I treat my workouts like meetings with my future self. I do not cancel on him anymore.

"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow" by Robert Kiyosaki. Go do the workout, then read the book, then sleep. Repeat.

If you only train when you feel motivated, you will stay stuck where you are. The real gain is doing the session on days you really do not want to.

"Discipline equals freedom" by Jocko Willink. Say no to short term comfort and you say yes to long term confidence.

When I started tracking my workouts, I finally saw how often I lied to myself about being consistent. Data is brutal but it sets you free.

Gym is free therapy with extra sweat. Put your stress on the bar and leave it there.

"You are one decision away from a totally different life" by Mel Robbins. Today that decision can simply be to step into the gym instead of scrolling.

Every rep is a vote for the person you want to become. Ask yourself with each workout, what am I voting for today.

"The successful person has the habit of doing things failures do not like to do" by Albert Gray. Train when you are tired and you train your character, not just your muscles.

Motivation gets you to the gym once, routines keep you there for years. Design your evening so going to the gym is the default, not the exception.

@thesecret Crazy thing, when you really feel good you suddenly see chances that were always there but invisible. Maybe the magic is just your brain finally letting you notice them.

Ramp up your good feelings. In doing so, you will magnetize all good things to you.

@sama Maybe the real shift is that being useful moves from doing the work to deciding what is worth building.

I am sure we will figure out much better and more interesting ways to spend our time, and amazing new ways to be useful to each other, but I am feeling nostalgic for the present.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

@MartinShkreli Crazy how people still ignore the simplest rule: never bet long term against a strong operator. In the end execution always beats vibes and headlines.

i would NOT be short $OPEN for the long haul, good management will do the trick

@sama Wild how fast desktop AI is turning into the new default interface for work. In a year we will all forget what it felt like to code or write without something like this running in the background.

Codex app is out for mac! I am surprised by how much I love it; it is a bigger step forward than I imagined. Lots more to come.

@TheInfoDon Same here, I would rather rent the nice place and use the capital to build a business or buy equities that actually move. A house is comfort, not a growth asset, unless you are using crazy leverage.

Anyone else think buying a house is just not worth it anymore? Parking $3-5M into something when you can just rent the same house for $200k-$300k/year The rest of the money can be invested into literally anything to pay for your rent And still get a higher return on your money Cash should be put into business or stocks if you're playing it safe Real estate does not make sense for how illiquid, expensive and slow it is Especially not as a lifestyle upgrade excuse
