The recruiter starts the interview: "So, tell me about yourself."

You start with: "Well, I was born in..." or "As you can see on my resume..."

The recruiter's brain: Zoned out. Bored. Checking their watch.

You just lost the "First Impression" battle. Say this instead:
The "Tell Me About Yourself" Myth

Most candidates think this is an icebreaker to "warm up." It’s actually the most important 90 seconds of the interview. It sets the Narrative Anchor. If you ramble, you are labeled "unstructured." If you are concise and value-driven, you are labeled "leader."
The "Recruiter's Secret" Agenda

When they ask this, they aren't looking for a biography. They are looking for the answer to a single question: "Why are you the solution to the specific problem I have right now?" Your answer shouldn't be about your life; it should be about your Product-Market Fit.

How to truly know if you're a useless trader

A THREAD 🧵🧵
Let's be honest here, not everyone in the markets knows what they're doing.

Some of us are just emotionally attached to bad decisions… and somehow those bad decisions make us feel like we're doing the right thing

In this thread, I'll show you how to know if you're a useless trader
1. You confuse being busy with being profitable.

You're always in a trade, always analyzing, always doing something but your account never grows
You think the more you trade , the more money you make when in reality, more trades often just means more losses ,more mistakes, and more emotional decisions.

Being busy makes you feel productive. Being profitable strongly requires patience, and knowing when not to trade

David Bach is one of America’s most trusted financial experts.

Recently, he broke down:

• Why saving $27 a day beats earning more money
• The hidden system that keeps most people in debt
• Why homeowners are ~40× wealthier than renters

His 10 key insights: Image
David Bach has advised millions of Americans on building wealth.

He spent 9 years at Morgan Stanley, wrote books that sold 10 million copies, and helped ordinary people become millionaires.

His 10 insights challenge everything you think about money:
1. Homeowners are worth 40x more than renters.

Average homeowner: over $400,000 net worth.
Average renter: $10,000 net worth.

Buy a $200,000 home with $40,000 down. It doubles to $400,000.
You made $200,000 on $40,000 invested.

Renters can't access this.

I told my therapist:

“I’m not suicidal…
but I’m tired in a way that scares me.”

She didn’t brush it off.
She didn’t say “everyone gets tired.”
She didn’t tell me to think positive.

She said softly:
“That sentence usually means someone has been surviving alone for too long.”

And suddenly it made sense.
Because it’s not that you want to end your life
it’s that you can’t keep living it this way.

It’s a deep exhaustion:
The kind that sits in your bones.
The kind that makes simple things feel impossible.
The kind that makes your chest heavy before the day even starts.

The world's most dangerous ingredient isn't high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, or seed oils.

This one is considered a class A carcinogen.
It's in 40% of our foods.
And you won't find it on a food label.

Here is what it is (and how to avoid it): 🧵 Image
Acrylamide.

What's scary is that you won't find acrylamide listed on any food label.

Why? Because it's not an ingredient.
It's a byproduct created AFTER processing, especially when heat is involved.

40% of our foods contain this poison.
Acrylamide forms when you combine certain proteins (specifically the amino acid asparagine) with refined sugars under high heat (above 285°F/140°C).

This creates what's called the Maillard reaction, producing this deadly compound. Image

A finnish teacher quietly solved phone addiction.

Not with apps. Not with bans. And not with willpower.

In just 10 days, his students cut phone use by over 50%.

Adults who tried it? Almost the same results.

What he fixed wasn't discipline. It was the brain. Image

Implementing FAQs is one of the most popular ways we're seeing brands optimizing for AI search: nectivdigital.com/how-to-create-…
If you want to know the technical reasons for this, @chrisgreenseo has done a lot of good research around why FAQs could be effective.

They basically contain extremely dense content that self-summarize the article in very few characters: chris-green.net/post/content-s…

Magnesium glycinate is the most powerful sleep aid no one’s talking about.

One dose calms nighttime anxiety, boosts deep sleep by 30%, and leaves you recharged and clear-headed by morning.

In this thread, I’ll explain how it works and how to use it safely🧵 Image
Image
Magnesium is needed for 300+ enzymatic reactions within your body.

But here’s the real shocker:

Nearly 70% of people are deficient, and most don't know it.

Fatigue, cramps, mood swings, poor sleep?

It might not be burnout... it could actually be a mineral deficiency.
Magnesium is neuroelectric currency.

Your brain uses it to control neurons, fire muscles, and calm your nervous system.

Deficiency? You feel:

- Wired but tired
- Panicked for no reason
- Like your battery won't recharge

Here's what happens if you get enough:
