Marketing doesn't have to be complicated.

Here are 10 key lessons from their book "Simple Marketing for Smart People":

1) People will not part with their money unless you speak in their language to their needs.

Andrew Wilkinson (@awilkinson) went from making $6 an hour as a barista...

To having a net worth of $1 billion by age 36.

Here are 10 lessons from his book "Never Enough":

1) If you sell your time, you can only sell 8-12 hours a day. But if you sell other people's time, you can grow your income infinitely.

2) It's okay to learn from a business failure, just make sure you don't go all in on one business.

Recovering from knee surgery has been one of the most painful experiences of my life.

I went from being able to dunk to not being able to pick up my leg.

Here's a bit about my experience (and some tips if you're having surgery soon):

1) Start Prehab ASAP

Prehab = Physical therapy BEFORE your surgery

The stronger you get before surgery, the stronger you'll be coming out of it, and the faster you'll recover.

So as soon as you know you'll need surgery, get a prescription from your doc for prehab.

2) Buy Recovery Products BEFORE Surgery

You don't want to be at home in pain wishing you had a recovery product but waiting days for it.

Order everything you need a week before your surgery and set it up beforehand.

I'll share a list of products I recommend later below.
