| The $1 financial tool everyone needs to use: Origin You can't improve what you don't track. So, a few years ago, my wife and I started using Origin, and it completely changed how we manage our money and wealth. In fact, I loved it so much I convinced the CEO to let me invest! It NAILS the basics (all your accounts in one place for tracking and insights), but also has a range of new AI tools that are incredible, like an AI advisor to ask all your money questions and an AI budget builder. Origin believes in their results so much that it's just $1 for the first year. Everyone should be using this. |
Wisdom Worth Sharing: A mentor once told me this: Confidence is less about knowing you'll win and more about knowing you'll bounce back even if you don't. Real confidence is built on resilience.

Wednesday: The Anti-To-Do List: A Major Life Hack In the 19th century, German mathematician Carl Jacobi developed a powerful insight: Many hard problems become easier when you flip them around and work backwards. On Wednesday, I applied that principle to daily life through a tool I call the Anti-To-Do List. Your To-Do List tells you what to focus on, but nothing about what to avoid. The Anti-To-Do List fills that gap. It's a short list of behaviors, habits, or patterns you want to eliminate. Not because they're catastrophic, but because they silently hold you back from operating at full power. The Anti-To-Do List is a major life hack. The daily practice of becoming the person you want to be, by avoiding the actions of the person you don't... (read the full piece here) P.S. I created a simple web-based Anti-To-Do List Tracker that you can use to get started. You can find the tool here. Please feel free to share it!
Friday: The Paradox of Effort Carlos Alcaraz is a tennis phenom. 22 years old, 7 Grand Slams, and the youngest player in history to complete the Career Grand Slam. You've probably seen clips of him doing completely insane, Carlos Alcaraz-type things on the court. But I recently came across a very different video—Alcaraz practicing his serve toss. Over and over and over again. It's honestly quite boring to watch (and I imagine even more boring to do). But there's an important lesson here that everyone needs to hear. I call it the Paradox of Effort: You have to put in extraordinary effort to make something appear effortless. Small things become big things. Simple is not simple. The next time you see a master make it look easy, remember: That ease was earned. One quiet rep at a time. Those with the courage to work in the dark will eventually shine in the light...
