3 love/relationship TRUTHS that should be common knowledge but are not.

- A short thread.
1.
People RARELY change after 25.

Before you say "I do", make sure you're excited about living with this person for the rest of your life if he/she doesn't change at all.

People RARELY change after 25.
1 (cont.)

Our fundamentals are set by age 25 or so.

We all make cosmetic changes afterward but the real person doesn't really change.

If he's a slob at 25, he won't suddenly become meticulous afterwards.
If he/she cheats...
If he/she is kind...
If he/she is NOT ambitious...
2.
Compatibility is chronically underrated.

- Are you heading in the same direction?
- Do you enjoy the same things?
- Would you be friends if you weren't dating?

Those 3 questions are more important than, "does your heart skip a beat when you see him/her?"
3.
Marriage is NOT a requirement for anything.

It's not required for:

- A happy life.
- A good career.
- Great relationships.
- Fun.
- Peace of mind, etc.

Marriage is great, but men/women can have a full & fulfilled life with or without it.

Planning for 2021?

Forget about your passion; think about market dynamics.

- A THREAD
In 2011, I was advising a Kenyan startup that wanted to create locally relevant games for the African market.

After reviewing their business model, I told them it would not work.

I asked them to pivot to an enterprise business model.

Why?
Why?

1. Data penetration was low in 2011.
2. The payment ecosystem did not exist to monetize the games.
3. The market for paid games was not big enough.
4. Poverty.

Their response:

We are passionate about games and will make it work.

I finally bought a significant amount of $BTC for my personal portfolio yesterday.

Why?

I studied some stuff that suggests there may be something there.

I have expressed a lot of skepticism about it so I need to let you know that my skepticism has thawed a bit.

Caveat...

👇
Caveat.

Crypto should still not be your primary investment vehicle cos of its volatility. But it can be a small part of a well-balanced portfolio.

IMO, it's dangerous to put money you're not prepared to lose in crypto. But it's a good instrument for your most aggressive bucket.

We can't dismiss an idea because of the toxicity of some of its proponents.

Our communities can't thrive unless we empower women so we must all be feminists.

The belligerent voices don't own the concept: they are just louder.

We must elevate/empower women regardless.
People who are hurting often bleed on those who didn't hurt them.

We must tend the wound regardless.
The research is clear:

Empowered men buy more external goods for validation and self-aggrandization.

Empowered women buy more food, education, and community-building items.

ONE THING per year.

- A thread
People often ask me:

"What has been the most impactful habit or process in your life?"

For me:

It's been clarity of purpose. Knowing the ONE THING I really want and devoting a significant amount of time to it exclusively.
A new year is on the horizon and many people will soon start making new year resolutions to improve several aspects of their lives.

All my new resolutions typically fail before the end of January, and I will bet yours probably fail in January too.

May I suggest another way?

Sent this to one of my former teachers today.

Hello Professor X,

I remembered you today and thought I should write to say, "Thank You."

You were always a light during my darkest days at Mizzou and have always been my reference point for the kindness and generosity of Americans
I remember you for good and have always remembered you for good. I have traveled the world and done many things since leaving Mizzou but I am still immensely grateful for your kindness to me at Mizzou.

Thank you for everything.

Regards,

Tayo
It's important to have an older, more accomplished person who will speak for you in rooms to which you're not invited.

Professor X was that person for me.

I am still immensely grateful 13 years later.
