In 2021,

I made some 🔥good decisions...and some terrible decisions 😭
I made some 🔥 good investments.. and some awful investments 😭

investments, decisions, purchases, advise, habits, - I wrote em all down. Here's my list of the 🔥BEST & WORST 😭for 2021 ⬇️

🔥BEST DECISION - hiring a personal trainer

Hiring Coach John as my personal trainer to come to my house 5x a week.

I still look "before photo"-ish, but made a lot of progress & flipped habits

smash teh like button if you see my little abbies coming in

😭WORST DECISION

"Secure the bag"

My deal when we got acquired had a 3-year vesting clause

I stayed for 2yrs

I shoulda stayed for... zero

Hard to say no to a 7-fig 💰but I woulda had more fun & made more $$$ if I had quit on day 1.

I undervalued the biggest asset, TIME!

@theSamParr

For Thanksgiving me and @theSamParr made a list of our "Favorite Finds" of the year

*stuff (gadgets, etc.)
*apps
*content (articles, podcasts, etc.)

Here's the list of my favorite finds!

@fiveminutejour

FAVORITE APPS:

I have apps for FUN (Twitter, TikTok, games..) and WORK (email, slack..)

These are great, but they keep the mind BUSY at all times.

So I found a few apps that bring PEACE of mind

#1 @fiveminutejour = Bring awareness to the things in my day I'm grateful for

@othership_us

#2 I've tried starting "meditation" many times but it never clicked and became something I enjoy.

Until I discovered "breathwork". My new morning routine is @othership_us. Guided breathwork by @robbiebent1 (was early at Ethereum). The music is top notch, makes it fun

Hot take: Everyone is wrong about the Metaverse.

here's my 3 part theory..

Part I - Everyone is wrong

Most people think "the metaverse" is a virtual place.

Like in the movie Ready Player One.

A virtual world, like Minecraft, Roblox, or like Zuck showed in the facebook demo yesterday.

But what if it's not a place?

Part II - It's Not a Place, It's a Time

A time? wtf?

Yes, a moment in time.

You know in artificial intelligence, there's an idea of "the singularity"?

It's a moment in time where AI becomes smarter than humans. The moment when artificial intelligence > human intelligence

Never read it. Let’s see what the fuss is about

Already like it. Page one has a quote I live by:

Never work *for* someone. You can work *with* them, but not for them

Another good one. There’s a story about a guy who wanted to work for Thomas Edison but had no qualifications or access to him.

When Edison saw him, he was a stranger but something about the way he introduced himself struck Edison

A similar thing happened to me once..

writing a book seems like a horrible idea.

normal =

* takes ~1 year before any results
* takes ~1,000 hours of input
* will make ~$0 or worse

hmm.. I want to hack the process

--> build in public, don't wait a year to publish
--> spend 50 hours instead of 1,000 (ghost scribe)

first step - open up my project kickoff template

#1 - Define winning

#2 - call out the anti-goals

Most NFTs today follow the same "copy pasta" playbook.

- pick an animal (apes, penguins, lions etc.)
- autogenerate 10,000 variations
- try to sell it as the next big thing (get rich quick)
- and give 'exclusive access' to a discord

I wanted to do something different..

I wanted to create an NFT that had utility. Inspired by the willy wonka golden ticket idea.

Get a golden ticket, get access into the chocolate factory (hard/impossible to get otherwise)

So I created "5 Minutes of Fame"...

it gives the holder 5 minutes of airtime on our podcast, My First Million.

The podcast gets about ~1 Million downloads per month, and is growing about 20-30% compounded monthly

We don't take any external advertisers, so this is really the only way to buy your way onto the show
