Behind every legendary CEO is a badass Executive Assistant.

Here are 7 who built empires while their bosses got all the credit:

1. Ann Hiat (Jezz Bezos' assistant) Ann Hiatt started as Jeff Bezos's right hand at Amazon in 2002.

She coordinated everything from minute-by-minute schedules to helicopter flights.

After supporting Bezos and later Google's Eric Schmidt for 16 years total, she wrote "Bet on Yourself" and now coaches CEOs.

As a lawyer of 17 years, I've heard some crazy stories in my time.

So here are 7 bizarre legal cases you'll never believe happened:

1. A guy adopted his 42-year-old girlfriend. In 2010, John Goodman (obviously from Florida...) killed a 23-year-old in a drunk driving crash.

Facing a $100M lawsuit (eventually settled for $46M) from the victim's family, he legally adopted his 42-year-old girlfriend, making her a legal heir to a family trust and shielding assets.

The Judge ruled the adoption as fraudulent and threw it out.

I’ve lost count of how many business owners came to me after signing a bad contract.

So I broke down a few of the most common clauses that can get you in trouble.

If you sign documents you don't fully read, trust me, READ THIS 😂🧵
91% of people click “agree” without reading the fine print (Deloitte).

This applies to online terms & conditions (not contracts) - BUT the stat is high enough to make me wonder how many people also just skim through important agreements.

On that note, here are some clauses to look out for:

I run a law firm.

Last week, I broke down TikTok's terrifying terms of service - and you all asked me to do the same for Instagram, Facebook, X & LinkedIn.

Some of you in a not-so-nice way 😂

So here's a side-by-side breakdown of what you're REALLY signing away on each platform: Let’s get one thing straight:

EVERY social media app collects data.

That’s the trade - you get content, they get access to your digital life.
But some apps take way more than others. And some have bigger risks.

Let's compare them side-by-side:

Nobody teaches kids the most important skill in business:

Delegation. If you don't have an assistant, you ARE the assistant.

Here are 8 master delegators (and what every entrepreneur can learn from them):

1. Henry Ford Henry Ford built an entire system for making cars:

Instead of hiring craftsmen to build whole vehicles, he created an assembly line in 1913 where each worker mastered just ONE task.

This cut production time from 12 hours to 90 minutes.

Ford then paid double wages to keep his specialized workforce!!

I run a law firm.

Last week I spent 5 hours digging into TikTok’s terms of service.

What I found absolutely terrified me.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’re actually handing over when you install TikTok (with receipts): Everyone is talking about the TikTok ban, so I got curious about their privacy settings.

If you don't think TikTok has access to an absurd amount of your personal data, you're in for a wild ride...

But before that, a clip on how kids use TikTok in the US compared to China:

I'm 43.

When I was 29, I started my law firm and hustled 24/7 on all the wrong things.

Then I read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill - and it completely changed my life.

8 lessons from one of my favorite books on how the rich approach decision-making: 🧵
1. Speed

The ONE common denominator among wealthy people, regardless of background, is that they decide FAST.

I try to make decisions after gathering about 60% of information, because NO decision is worse than the wrong decision.

Here's an audio clip I like from the book:

The first public written legal system was BRUTAL.

• Children killed for their fathers' mistakes
• Bartenders drowned for over-priced beer
• Doctors mutilated for messing up surgeries

8 mind-blowing laws from Hammurabi's Code that shaped modern justice:
I've always found ancient legal systems pretty cool.

They reveal so much about human civilization and how far we've come - or sometimes haven't.

Was reading about Hammurabi's Code recently and couldn't believe some of this shit.

Had to share it with you all...

Top 9 laws that sound fake but are 100% real:

1. Singapore will fine you $150 for not flushing a public toilet. Section 16 of Environmental Public Health Regulations in Singapore mandates bathroom inspections.

The number of times my 9-year-old "forgets" to flush... he'd bankrupt me in a week here 😂

I'm 43.

When I was 25, I put everyone else’s needs before my own.

Then I discovered Ayn Rand's controversial philosophy of Objectivism—and it changed my life forever.

9 radical lessons that will change how you view freedom, money & success:
Before we get into the lessons, here’s a cool bit of history:

My grandmother's cousin was Laura Ingalls Wilder - author of Little House on the Prairie.

Her daughter, Rose, hung out with Ayn Rand in the 1950s.

Together, they saw something spooky on the horizon…
