One cold email can change your life.

Here's how to write a great one:
I’ve sent (and received) a lot of cold emails—some great, some not.

What I've learned: a cold email success is never an accident.

The features of a great cold email:
• Short & Sweet
• Personalized
• Credentials or Social Proof
• Create Value
• Clear CTA

Let's cover each:
Short & Sweet

If you're sending a cold email to someone, remember that the person receiving it probably gets a lot of these.

They don't have time (or energy) to read through long and winding notes.

Keep it short and sweet.

Space out the text to make it optically inviting.

How to Win (without talent or luck):
Operate in Your Zone of Genius

Your Zone of Genius is where your interests, passions and skills align.

Operating in your Zone of Genius means playing games you are uniquely well-suited to win.

Once you identify it, you can stop playing *their* games and start playing *yours*.
Adopt a Positive Sum Mentality

Want to get ahead in life? Start genuinely rooting for others to succeed.

When one of us wins, we all win—winning spreads.

If you adopt that mentality, you’ll become a magnet for the highest quality people.

Stagflation is the economic risk that everyone is going to be talking about in the days and weeks ahead.

Here's a simple breakdown on the topic:
1/ There's a lot of talk right now about the risks of stagflation.

@Business published an article titled "Stagflation Is All Anyone in Markets Wants to Talk About Now"—it's serious.

This thread provides a simple framework for understanding stagflation and our current situation:
2/ Stagflation is pretty scary.

The "stag" refers to economic stagnation—low growth and high unemployment.

The "flation" refers to inflation.

Putting it together, "stagflation" is an economic condition defined by the presence of low growth, high unemployment, and inflation.

By now, you've probably heard that the U.S. debt ceiling is causing quite a bit of drama in political and financial circles.

Here's a simple breakdown of its history, purpose, and why you should (or shouldn't) care:
1/ In recent weeks, the so-called “debt ceiling” dominated the news.

There was fear-mongering—and congressional grandstanding—but few have a real understanding of what it all means.

This thread is my attempt to provide a (very) simple framework for understanding the situation:
2/ First, a short history lesson.

The United States debt ceiling was formally created as part of the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917 during World War I.

It was an important step.

Prior to 1917, any debt issuance by the government had to be specifically authorized by Congress.

On World Mental Health Day, let us all remember to be there for each other in times of need.

Just because someone seems ok, it doesn’t mean they are—you never know what’s going on behind someone’s eyes.

We all go through our own struggles, but we don’t have to face them alone.
The best part? It’s really quite easy.

Reach out to a friend. Ask them how they’re doing. Listen to them.

The smallest gesture of support and love can go a long way.
In my baseball days, I had several teammates who suffered from depression.

Some of the best baseball players in the country, playing on a grand stage, but suffering alone.

There was no outlet for support—the NCAA needs to do better to provide resources for its student-athletes.
