Rob Dyrdek built a $550M empire and never misses breakfast with his kids.

Most CEOs work 80-hour weeks for half the results.

His secret? A productivity system that takes 20 minutes a day.

Here's how to work less and achieve 10x more: Image
Most productivity advice adds complexity to your life.

More apps. More meetings. More "hacks."

Dyrdek discovered the opposite approach.

After years of chaotic hustle, he realized something profound:
Measurement creates freedom.

Systems create time.

He developed the "Rhythm of Existence" - a 20-minute daily routine that runs his entire life.

No complicated frameworks. No endless planning sessions.

Just 20 focused minutes:
Every morning starts with a 5-minute self-assessment.

He rates on a 0-10 scale: sleep quality, motivation, work satisfaction, health.

Logs it in the Tackle app.

This simple act reveals patterns that change everything.
Next: 10 minutes reviewing his time blocks.

Family breakfast: locked in.
Deep work: protected.
Business meetings: batched.

Every minute has a purpose. Nothing left to chance. Image
Final 5 minutes: priority alignment.

He connects daily tasks to quarterly goals.
Quarterly goals to annual vision.
Annual vision to life purpose.

Everything flows from this 20-minute investment. Image
But the magic isn't in the routine itself.

It's in what the routine enables.

By tracking everything, he discovered that 40% of his time was wasted on low-value tasks.

So he automated them all:
Repetitive emails? Automated.
Scheduling? Automated.
Routine decisions? Systemized.

His philosophy: "Automate and systematize to live as light as possible."

This freed up 20+ hours per week.
He reinvested those hours into what matters:

Morning meditation in his $14,500 Somadome pod.
Breakfast with his kids.
Strategic thinking time.
Creative development.

The result? Better decisions, bigger results.
The numbers prove it works:

• Built 14 brands since 2016
• 5 exits worth $450M+
• Filmed 336 Ridiculousness episodes
• Maintained 30% family time throughout

All without burning out or missing breakfast.
His systematic approach multiplies everything.

One good decision creates ten opportunities.
One automated process saves hundreds of hours.
One protected morning routine compounds into millions.

20 minutes daily. 10x results.
Dyrdek proves what I learned building sales teams for 16 years:

Success isn't about hours worked - it's about systems followed.

The highest earners I've trained don't work harder.

They work inside better systems.

In 1995, Pepsi put a $33M fighter jet in a commercial for 7M Pepsi Points.

They thought it was obviously a joke.

But one 21-year-old didn’t. He spotted a loophole, went all in, and demanded the jet.

What followed became one of the wildest lawsuits in ad history: 🧵 Image
John Leonard was watching TV when the ad came on.

Sunglasses: 75 points.
T-shirt: 175 points.

Final punchline? A Harrier fighter jet landing at a high school. Price tag: 7M Pepsi Points.

Leonard decided to crunch the numbers:
Pepsi’s fine print said you could purchase extra points for 10¢ each.

7M points × $0.10 = $700,000.

A real Harrier jet cost $33M.

Leonard saw an unbeatable deal.

But there was a catch:

Larry Ellison is arguably the wildest CEO alive in Silicon Valley:

• Hired private investigators to snoop on Microsoft
• Engaged in a decade-long battle with Google
• Planned to buy Apple and make Steve Jobs CEO

At 80, he looks younger than many 50-year-olds.

Here’s his insane story. 🧵Image
Ellison was a close friend of Steve Jobs. When Jobs was ousted from Apple in 1985, Ellison stood by him.

He even plotted to buy Apple, make Jobs CEO, and give him 25% of the company.

Jobs declined. Here’s Ellison reflecting on it 👇
Oracle’s market cap today? A staggering $465 billion.

Ellison owns 43% of the company, giving him a net worth of $205 billion—almost on par with Jeff Bezos, and making him the third richest person in the world. Image

In 1983, Paul McCartney gave Michael Jackson a piece of advice that would make MJ billions…

And cost them their friendship forever.

This $47.5M power play is the coldest business lesson in music history: 🧵 Image
In the early 80s, McCartney and Jackson were inseparable.

They teamed up on The Girl Is Mine and Say Say Say — both smash hits.

During those sessions, Paul showed MJ a thick notebook filled with catalogs he had purchased.

“This is where the real money is.”
Paul broke it down:

Whenever a song is played on radio, TV, film, or ads — the publishing owner gets paid.

“I lost control of Northern Songs, so now I’m investing in other catalogs.”

MJ was intrigued. He even teased Paul: “One day, I’ll buy yours.”

In 2014, Flappy Bird took the internet by storm—90M downloads, $50K a day in ad revenue, and everyone was hooked.

Then, at the peak of its success, it suddenly disappeared.

Why did the creator kill one of the most addictive games ever made?

The untold story of Flappy Bird: Image
Image
Flappy Bird was created by Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen, who simply wanted a game that was easy to play and fun.

It launched in May 2013 and barely got noticed… until early 2014.
By January 2014, Flappy Bird exploded—hitting 90 million downloads in just a few weeks.

What caused the boom?

Peter Thiel can spot a winning startup better than anyone.

He co-founded PayPal, was Facebook’s very first investor, and turned $500K into billions.

But before writing a single check, he asks 7 tough questions.

Most founders stumble on the very first one.

Here are Thiel’s 7 questions that decide startup success: 🧵Image
Most startups don’t die because of “bad ideas.”

They fail because founders never ask the right questions.

Thiel understood this back in 2004—before most of us even had a Facebook login.

So he created a mental checklist to separate future giants from forgettable failures.
He called it The 7 Questions Every Startup Must Answer.

→ A clarity test.
→ A founder filter.
→ A roadmap to building a $100M+ company.

Apple just lost more money in 4 months than most nations earn in a year.

$1.1 trillion erased — all because Tim Cook made the exact move Steve Jobs refused for 14 years.

Warren Buffett praised it. Jobs called it poison.

Here’s how Apple’s greed is finally backfiring: 🧵 Image
Apple ruled as the world’s most valuable company from 2021 to 2023.

Now? They’ve slipped to 3rd — behind Nvidia and Microsoft.

In only 4 months, their value dropped 28%.

That’s $1.1 trillion wiped out.

But the seeds were planted back in 2011.
When Jobs stepped down, he told Tim Cook one thing:

“Don’t ask, ‘What would Steve do?’ … just do what’s right.”

Jobs believed that building world-class products created strong stock prices.

Cook believed the opposite.

The shift happened instantly.
