Cynicism is the ultimate problem of modern life, not fear.

Armchair experts and new leaders always blame fear but Fear isn’t the cause of cynicism.

Moral superiority is: I know things are bad and I know the problem and I know things are totally unfair so I know it’s also useless to try and all others’n attempts are wrong and will be pointless as well.

That doesn’t come from fear,

Creators are toast.
the one AI implication that creators seem to be missing is a tidal shift.
It’s going to destroy their businesses

and amazingly they don’t see it coming. Platforms will suffer too

I’ve been sharing w top creators in the world but I want ppl to know 2/ Here’s the thing about AI and creators

that anyone who has ever read a business strategy book would see coming

Change those and change your ongoing state. Those are the levers. Sure, you can change your state by breath and movement, right now, but we’re talking about LIFE ENERGY ongoing, not just state change. The last 72hrs holds the key biologically and those are your levers. If any, optimize the first 4.

High performance is a measure of success *and* wellbeing over time.

Companies realizing again that high performance habits matter. @Meta @Google @Microsoft all had similar realizations this year. CEOs are getting it. There's no efficiency, drive and productivity without the personal and social habits in my book, High Performance Habits... Here's the six deliberate habits that the world's largest study on high-performance to date say matter the most. Of 100 research-backed "performance variables," these correlate the most with long-term success (and wellbeing!):
