The world's elite pay millions for his advice.

Here's what you should learn from Josh Waitzkin (the Limitless Skill Blueprint):
Josh Waitzkin isn't your average coach.

He's a chess prodigy, martial arts world champion, and high-performance guru.

The movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer" was based on his life.

But his real superpower?

Robert Greene's ideas will make you immune to depression.

But his books average 500+ pages and take 100s of hours to read.

I curated his best ideas, so you don’t have to.

Here's his 5-step protocol for a lifetime of happiness: 1. Find Your Life's Task

You were born completely unique.

Your DNA has never existed before, nor will it ever exist again.

You are one of one - as is your life's purpose.

So why do we devote our lives to what society, our friends or our parents want from us?

The man who healed what doctors can't:

Carl Jung.

Studying his ideas will make you immune to depression.

These are his 6 Laws for Finding your Life's Purpose: Born in 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland:

Jung experienced a complex childhood filled with vivid dreams and intense inner experiences that would shape his entire worldview.

And his family?

This kid was a millionaire at just 6 years old.

He was earning $30 Million a year by age 9, making him the highest paid YouTuber in the world.

But his success came with a dark side filled with controversy and lawsuits…

The crazy story of Ryan Kaji 🧵 Ryan's YouTube journey began in 2015 when he was just 3 years old.

His first video? A video of him playing with a Lego Duplex set (just have a look. He's adorable).

He soon started racking up millions of views.

The formula was simple:

David Sacks just became Trump's "Crypto & AI Czar":

• Built PayPal with Elon
• Sold $1.2B company to Microsoft
• Invested early in Facebook, Uber & Airbnb

4 years ago, few outside tech knew who David Sacks was...

The untold story of Silicon Valley's secret kingmaker 🧵 First, some context:

David Sacks was part of the legendary "PayPal Mafia" - the first product leader and COO who helped pivot PayPal from Palm Pilots to web payments.

When PayPal IPO'd in 2002, Sacks was just 29.

But his biggest wins were yet to come...

When he fled Communist Vietnam in 1979, death was certain if caught.

Today, his hot sauce is in 1 out of 10 American homes:

$150M revenue, no sales team & $0 in ad spend.

The incredible story of David Tran and Sriracha 🧵 1979: David Tran fled Vietnam with his family.
`
His only possession? 100 ounces of gold hidden in cans of condensed milk to evade Communist authorities.

As a former Major in the South Vietnamese army, he knew discovery meant certain death.

That gold would change everything...

In 2012, Apple and Google went to war over maps.

Apple removed Google Maps from the iPhone & launched their own 'Maps' app.

But Apple Maps flopped so badly, Tim Cook had to publicly apologize.

Here's the full story 🧵 First, some context:

Since the iPhone's launch in 2007, Google Maps had been the default navigation app.

But by 2012, competition between iOS and Android was intensifying.

And maps weren't just a feature - they were the gateway to mobile users' data.

The breaking point?

In 2020, Apple and Fortnite went to war.

Epic Games (the creators of Fortnite) attempted to break the App Store's monopoly on 1 billion phones.

The result? A $70 billion lawsuit that transformed tech forever.

The shocking story of Epic Games vs Apple: 🧵 For years, Apple had a firm grip on the App Store. Any app wanting to reach iPhone users had to:

• Pay Apple 30% of all revenue
• Use Apple's payment system
• Follow Apple's strict rules

Until...

At 24, David Goggins weighed 297 pounds and couldn't run a mile.

Today, he's completed 60+ ultra-marathons and has a pull-ups world record.

He completed Navy SEAL Hell Week with a broken kneecap.

Here's what I learned from him (and his one principle that'll change your life): Born in 1975, Goggins faced unimaginable abuse.

His father beat him and his mother daily. He was forced to work at his father's roller-skating rink from 6 years old.

By age 8, he couldn't read. He had a stutter. He was obese.

But one day, everything changed:

Argentina's President just revealed shocking secrets about their media.

• Threatened to post damaging stories unless paid
• 85% of newspaper content is fabricated
• They attacked his hospitalized father

Here's Javier Milei's insane breakdown from the recent Lex Fridman pod🧵 Argentina's media landscape is rotten to the core:

Journalists invade privacy with drones, fabricate stories, and destroy reputations with impunity.

The evidence he shared was shocking:

The retail apocalypse had begun...

Marc Andreessen just shocked the world on JRE.

He revealed the government is:

• Kicking people off banking networks

• Secretly trying to control AI

I took a day to digest it all...

And these are the 11 things I can't stop thinking about: 1. The AI Takeover Plan

The Biden administration has been secretly meeting with AI companies.

Their message was chilling:

"Don't even bother starting AI companies. There will only be 2-3 approved companies, and we'll control them completely."

This isn't speculation. These were actual closed-door conversations.

While Jaguar's new rebrand is being publicly mocked by Elon Musk...

Oppenheimer's Oscar-winning cinematographer just dropped an ad for Volvo.

It broke every rule in marketing — and the internet can't stop talking about it.

Jaguar just spent millions on their rebranding campaign.

No cars. Just models in vibrant clothes against futuristic backdrops.

Even Elon Musk mocked them.

But that was just the beginning...

By 2034, your 9-5 job will be extinct.

Everything could be so cheap you might not have to work anymore.

That's Marc Andreessen's latest prediction — the billionaire investor who predicted the rise of the internet in 1993.

Here's what he said next: Marc Andreessen's work is legendary.

He created the world's first widely used web browser — decades before most of us were born.

The internet today wouldn't be the same without him.

And since then?

He's predicted all the trends that shape our world today:

I couldn't believe this.

While the world was locked down, Ryan Reynolds got an unexpected call:

His friend Rob McElhenney (creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) wanted him to... sponsor a Welsh football club?

Reynolds had a better idea:

This guy pulled off the biggest experiment in food history.

He infiltrated McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut & Taco Bell...

And convinced them to reimagine their entire menu.

Now, you see his "weird" food everywhere.

Here's the full story🧵 Ethan Brown grew up on his family's farm in Maryland.

His father was a professor and conservationist who taught him about agriculture and the natural world.

That early connection would spark a food revolution...

Jaguar just made the most expensive mistake of 2024.

They spent millions on a rebrand that erased 100 years of heritage.

Even Elon Musk is publicly mocking them.

Here's the fascinating reason behind the rebrand (& why it's driving the internet crazy): 🧵 The story starts in 1922.

William Lyons and William Walmsley had a vision: create motorcycles that embodied British elegance.

But it wasn't until 1935 that they made their first car.

The birth of an icon was about to begin...

Those iconic red envelopes are arriving in millions of mailboxes across America.

Life is good. Until one email changes everything...

Burberry burned $36,500,000 of clothes in one year.

Not because they couldn't sell them.

Because they didn't want YOU to have them.

The disturbing truth about luxury's dirtiest secret🧵
In 2018, a shocking line appeared in Burberry's annual report.

Most people missed it. But hidden in the financial statements was something disturbing:

The systematic destruction of £28.6M ($36.5M) of perfectly good merchandise.

But Jobs saw something no one else did...

The story behind the "Apple Store": 🧵
2001: The retail apocalypse was beginning.

Amazon was crushing traditional stores, Gateway was shuttering its locations, and Dell dominated with direct sales.
