| This free AI tool is saving me hours per day! Honestly, most AI tools don't move the needle for me. But this one completely changed my workflows and productivity in a matter of days. It's called Lemon—and you should be using it (it's free). With Lemon, you just press a button, speak, and watch as it magically executes whatever you said on your computer. Lemon is saving me hours every single day. It's today's partner and I even invested in the company because they're building something special. I highly recommend checking it out. |
Wisdom Worth Sharing: The ability to quickly reset and recover is a superpower. From a bad interaction. From a bad day. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. You can start over whenever you want. You can't always control what happened, but you can control how long you carry it. (share to x/twitter!)
Wednesday: Dear Parker: A Letter to a 17-Year-Old Reader Last week, I got an email from a reader that stopped me in my tracks: Dear Mr. Bloom,
My name is Parker and I am 17. I am reaching out because I would like some advice. I have had a goal and dream since I can remember, being rich and owning some sort of business but I do not know where to start. I don't want to be rich for the wrong reasons. I want to use my money as freedom for myself and to use it as a way to help others. My goal is to make 1 million by the time I am 20.
I was wondering if I could have some mentorship on how I could achieve this goal. I come from a poor family so money is hard for us but I will do whatever it takes to achieve this no matter what.

On Wednesday, I shared my open letter to Parker—and to anyone out there with big dreams and no idea where to start... (read the full piece here)
Friday: The Empty Cup Mindset In the mid-19th century, a physician named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was working as an assistant in Vienna General Hospital when he noticed something curious. The hospital had two maternity clinics right next to each other, one staffed by doctors and medical students, the other by midwives. The mortality rate of mothers at the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students was a shocking (even for the era) 18%, while it was just 2% at the clinic staffed by midwives. It occurred to Semmelweis that the doctors and medical students were often moving straight from working on cadavers to delivering babies. Without washing their hands in between. He mandated handwashing, and the rate immediately dropped to below 2%. Rather than being hailed as a hero, he was ridiculed. Doctors rejected the evidence because it contradicted their deeply-entrenched beliefs. On Friday, I explored why smart, accomplished people reject the very evidence that could help them—and the antidote: what I call the Empty Cup Mindset. Ask yourself: What new evidence would cause me to change my mind? If the answer is nothing, your cup is too full... (read the full piece here)
