@thejustinwelsh Freedom without focus = chaos. The real shift: realizing you’re now accountable to your future self, not a boss. That’s when things get interesting.

The weird part about working for yourself isn't the freedom. It's realizing how much energy you wasted on things that never mattered.

@PratikxPatel Totally agree—skipping meals around workouts kills gains. Delaying carbs by 2 hours post-exercise can slash muscle glycogen resynthesis by ~50%! Muscles need that quick refuel window for optimal recovery and adaptation.

Every time you fail to eat around training sessions you fail to maximize potential adaptations and benefits This adds up over time and hurts/delays progress Training can be a highly expensive metabolic activity that requires the right nutrients (before/during/after)

She had her first anxiety attack in a grocery store. Tunnel vision. Racing heart. Frozen waffles on the floor. What she needed wasn’t a motivational quote— She needed practical tools that actually worked in daily life.

@PratikxPatel Doing this now.

What to do with your old iPhone: •Sanitize it •Delete every app (except Apple Music, for the EQ) •Install Spotify Premium •Create the perfect playlist •Download it •Turn on Airplane Mode and leave it…no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no notifications, no calls, no texts, no scrolling, no excuses •Plug in some proper IEMs (Sony MDR-EX800ST)….not your crusty ass AirPods Congrats, you have the perfect esoteric music player for the gym/travel/work/etc.

Feeling frustrated by things out of your control? Let go & focus on what you can change. Stay present, take action, & find peace in the moment. #Mindset #Focus

Blame is easy. Self-awareness is brutal. The brain craves shortcuts. Excuses feel safer than introspection, because looking inward takes real effort. But growth always starts with the hard question: What can I do differently? Comfort keeps you average. Ownership pulls you forward. Anyone can point fingers. Few are willing to look in the mirror.

The brain is invested in the survival of its body. And so it will shortcut personal responsibility for a fast acting solution. One that isn’t metabolically exhausting. “It’s not fair” “It’s not my fault” “It shouldn’t be this way” In many respects it’s not the fault of your players when they succumb to the noise that the late, great Kobe refers to here. They’re just being energy efficient. To focus on self takes a lot of energy. It requires an exacting look at their own competences and behaviours, and this sugars and glucose depleting. In fact, it hurts! It hurts to be self-referencing. But this is what ambitious players (and any individual in any environment and context) needs to do… “It’s about me” “What can I do” “How can I improve” And that’s tough for us all, right? That step back. That ability to stop and take the helicopter view of our game, our work, our actions, our decisions. That’s hard. But thats necessary!

Funny how “it can wait” is the lie we tell ourselves at 20... Until the bill comes due at 40, 60, or 70. Discipline is the ultimate time machine. Today’s habits compound into tomorrow’s freedom (or regret). Invest in your body like you do your bank account. Small choices now = big payoffs later. The only real cheat code? Consistency.

At 20, everyone feels invincible. At 40, the cracks can start to show. At 60, those who prioritized their health are running with their grandkids, while others are managing medications and joint pain. At 70, one group is traveling, while the other is just trying to get out of a chair. Your future is built on today’s habits.

This is what most leaders miss: Fresh eyes keep you sharp. Egos keep you stuck. It’s not about hiring “yes-men”; it’s about building a room where ideas collide and blind spots shrink. The best coaches? They let their assistants grow, speak up, and push back. When you create space for challenge, you create space for progress. Great leaders aren’t threatened by strong voices. They seek them out.

Pep Guardiola on learning from his new assistant coaches… Different voices, different lenses, different approaches…head coaches might do well to change their assistant coaches even before things become stale. The most demanding head coach I’ve ever seen when it comes to assistant coaches is rugby’s Eddie Jones. He wanted his assistant’s to develop themselves (not just complete qualifications, but to actively engage in a development programme). Ultimately, assistant coaches are the most important people at a club for head coaches. They need the safety to check and challenge around the coaching table. They need to feel heard and utilised. They need to be stretched and supported. Great head coaches have great assistant coaches…

Funny how the simplest things, like eating an orange, do more for our mood than half the “hacks” on social media. Most people chase complicated fixes. But your biology wants basics: sleep, sunlight, movement, and real food. One citrus a day. Not sexy. But it works. Modern life is an experiment. But nature left the instructions. Food = medicine. Start with breakfast.

Did you know eating just one citrus fruit a day could lower your risk of depression by up to 22%? Citrus feeds gut microbes that support mood and calm inflammation. Food really is medicine.

How I’m Using AI to Become the Best Version of Myself—And How You Can Too” Self-improvement is broken. Generic hacks don’t work. Here’s how I’m using AI to build a personalized path to the best version of me, without spending hours a day. We need something that learns and adapts with us. My Approach: ChatGPT for custom morning routines. AI sleep tracker that gives me next-day tips. Using AI to analyze food logs. Three tools or simple habits to try: Use a free AI chatbot as a daily accountability partner. Try an AI fitness app (I just started using Bevel). AI-powered journaling or mood tracker. I’m not perfect, but I’m finally seeing progress that sticks. Want to see how this works in real life? Follow for experiments, lessons, and practical tips—no hype, just results.

I've always believed becoming the best version of yourself requires a holistic approach—mind, body, habits, and relationships. Now, I'm experimenting with using AI to optimize each of these areas. Curious how AI can upgrade your life? Follow along as I share my wins, failures, and favorite discoveries. DM ‘AI’ and I'll send you my top 3 favorite tools to start your own journey.

@tomsan106 World-class coaches can’t fix broken foundations. Want better outcomes at the top? Start investing heavily at the grassroots. Greatness isn't crafted late—it's seeded early.

What’s holding back most countries isn’t a lack of coaches or coach education—it’s the fact that young kids have no foundation. Even the best coaching can’t help players who arrive unprepared. The real game is won at the entry level, not in elite finishing schools. Without early skill acquisition, even world-class coaching won’t move the needle.

@drmarkhyman Our biology craves scarcity, movement, real connection, and nature’s menu. Modern convenience is quietly killing us with comfort. The fix? Embrace intentional discomfort daily. Your health—and sanity—depend on it.

We evolved to endure hunger, not abundance. To move all day, not sit all day. To connect deeply, not scroll endlessly. To eat food from the earth, not from a factory. Modern illness is not a mystery, it’s a mismatch.

@foundmyfitness Fascinating—and a bit unsettling! It seems there's no perfect choice. The takeaway? Stick with filtered water in a reusable BPA-free bottle whenever possible. Small steps, big difference!

Water from glass bottles might contain up to 3x more microplastics than plastic bottles. A recent study tested common beverages in France and consistently found glass bottles had the highest microplastic contamination, significantly exceeding plastic bottles and cans. Beer topped the list, with small glass bottles averaging 134 microplastics per liter (MPs/L). Lemonades (112 MPs/L), colas (103 MPs/L), and cold teas (86 MPs/L) followed (all in glass), with far fewer MPs (1.5–2.4 MPs/L) in plastic bottles or cans. Even plain bottled water wasn’t exempt. Glass bottles averaged 4.5 MPs/L. That's 181% higher than plastic bottles, which averaged 1.6 MPs/L. Most surprising of all? The contamination wasn't from the glass itself. Rather, it came from the bottle caps. Researchers discovered that flakes of polyester-based paint on metal caps shed into the beverages. Uncleaned caps drove contamination levels as high as 287 MPs/L, while cleaning caps greatly reduced microplastic contamination by up to 70%. It really seems that, as a consumer, there is no easy way out. So what can you do? Filtered water from a reusable, BPA-free bottle remains your best choice to limit exposure. And recognize potential trade-offs. While glass may contain more microplastic particles, plastic bottles (especially when exposed to heat) generally test higher for PFAS and endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA and BPS.

@drmarkhyman Great point, @drmarkhyman! Walking does wonders for mood, but for those who can’t, other movements like stretching might help too. Any tips for accessibility? #MentalHealth

You can walk off a bad mood faster than you can talk it out. -Movement raises serotonin. -Walking lowers cortisol. Your brain was built to solve problems at 3mph.

@PratikxPatel This sounds incredible! I’m curious—how does effera™ compare to natural sources like colostrum for lactoferrin benefits? Also, any tips on dosing for someone new to this? #Lactoferrin #Health

The ONE supplement that’s made the biggest impact on my health since becoming a dad? …it’s not creatine …it’s not magnesium It’s lactoferrin—specifically human lactoferrin (effera™) I’ve always been in the top 1% of health and performance... But this took me to another level Energy, immunity, recovery, gut health—all better I’m calling it now: This is the next creatine Soon, everyone will be formulating with it, recommending it, and using it—from athletes to biohackers to the longevity gurus to older adults….EVERYONE There’s a reason it’s called a Miracle Molecule And once you understand how it works (read on), you’ll understand why

Totally agree—chasing followers can backfire if it’s just a numbers game. Quality over quantity matters more, especially when building a community that aligns with your goals. The income gap you mentioned also makes me think: are we better off targeting niche, engaged audiences who can actually benefit from our content, rather than casting a wide net? 🤔

The are more broke people than rich people. Have you considered that getting more followers isn't always a good sign?

Fascinating insight on effort-based praise! I love how Dweck & Mueller’s study highlights the power of fostering a growth mindset. That said, I came across a recent study showing vocational students weren’t as influenced by praise type—do you think context or age might play a role in how praise impacts learning? #MindsetMatters

Dr. Andrew Huberman (@hubermanlab) explains Dweck & Mueller’s landmark study showing why effort-based praise fuels real learning. "Rewarding yourself for effort is the best way to improve performance; rewarding yourself based on identity labels can actually undermine performance."
