Go to Canes sand spend $20 on three chicken strips, fries and coke
OR make a 1lb NY Strip and reverse sear it for lunch
The latter allows you to also fine tune your ability as a man to produce and serve your family (wife and kids deserve steakhouse level Sunday night meals)

This will be legendary
The only other person who’s ever made me this excited about a product unveil was Steve Jobs. Watching him introduce the first iPhone is a huge part of why I fell in love with technology.
Elon brings that feeling back for me, but honestly, I think he takes it to a whole different level. Tomorrow, he and the Tesla team are unveiling the next-gen Roadster, and I seriously cannot wait.
The Roadster they showed in 2017 already promised 0–60 mph in 1.9 seconds. Since then, Elon has talked about a Tesla–SpaceX collaboration, having it fly, and getting that time below ONE second, and calling it “the least interesting part” of the car.
How do you say something like that and expect me NOT to be excited?!
But beyond how fast it goes, I want to see something that makes me sit there and say, “Wow… how in the world did they build that?” I honestly don’t know what they’re going to show us, and that’s part of what makes this so much fun. I really want to be surprised and see the unthinkable.
These days I feel many older people don’t get that excited about things… I only see that spark in kids. But imo, we should still get excited about people building cool things. We should still root for the nerds, engineers, and designers trying to do something that has never been done before.
And I hope there’s a kid watching tomorrow who feels what I felt watching Steve Jobs introduce the iPhone. Someone who sees this car and starts wondering how it works, sketching their own ideas, or thinking about what they could build someday.
I hope y’all are ready to have your minds blown.
I’m rooting for you, Elon, and the entire Tesla team behind this car.
Go give us a night we’ll never forget!

The need to “figure it out fast” is an ego thing.
Do you respect the guy more that built a 80 year old company (my grandpa did this), or the guy that crypto traded for 3 years?
The guy with a natural and durable physique with hormones in check, or the one that took steroids to speed the process and has to baby his body back to normalcy?
I know the answer, but I still try to go FAST!!
This is a good frame.
I put a lot of pressure on myself to figure things out fast. Whether it’s making money, figuring out my Faith, pushing for promotion, getting to events, you name it…
This frame is helpful to slow down. It takes the pressure off. What’s important is that I’m focused on the right things. Building bit by bit.
You be get in a rat race in anything, not just a w2 thing.
And things will actually play out a lot better if I’m not trying to rush.
All in good time.

Per Grok
First principles thinking is a method of reasoning that breaks a problem down to its most basic, independently verified truths and then builds a solution upward from those foundations—rather than copying existing approaches or accepting conventional assumptions.
It went from being unknown to being trendy, like lots of great things, but First Principles is a healthy exercise to cut through the bs.
Ask grok to walk you through first principles thinking by asking you questions on whatever your challenge is. Every business owner should try this.
Kind of why Hormozi is so valued. He defaults to first principles.
Somebody says “I can’t afford payroll!”Hormozi would say you have a demand issue and then break down how/why/the solution by asking questions.

Most of my friends are guys that are “studs” by any definition of the word. And even then maybe 2 out of 10 have the desire to contribute in that capacity.
I don’t know if it’s comfort killing the drive or something else but it’s definitely a thing.
It's a lack of male vitality. They've been beaten down. It's changing. We don't have a lot of time though.

In the reverse, when someone is offering you connections and helping you out, don’t be greedy. If you know it’s going somewhere and you’re going to benefit off of it offer the person a cut out of kindness.
Probably, nobody will do this.
Offer referral fees at minimum
Don’t you want the person that is helping you to succeed with you? It is an active effort for me to put myself on the bench and let others play too. Not saying it’s easy
Friend of mine used his social network to help his friend build a company. Which sold for 9 figures. (Will be vague, so no one can dox.) My friend expected a nice thank-you. He got nothing. That's how it goes. Get your fees up front. Nobody is going to do you a solid at exit.

This is epic
Late to the announcement but super excited to share that I’ve signed a new offer.
OTE has doubled and my base will be what my OTE was prior.
Could not be more grateful for this journey in tech sales. I’m a 27 year old who has been in the industry for 1.5 years.
Started as an SDR, quickly moved up to AE within a year. Drove $340k in CW ARR as an SDR and near $360k as an AE.
Have never missed a quarter and I’m almost certain that’s because of the talent pool we get to learn from here on X.
Still in SMB but goal is MM/ENT within the next 3 years, alongside building this account and creating a proper side income.
Jobs not finished. Matter in fact, it’s only started.
Big shoutouts to @BowTiedCocoon @FidelCacheFlow @BowTiedSalesGuy @BrianLaManna_
Y’all have been very inspirational in my journey and the alpha dropped is priceless.
Special shoutout to Cocoon who helped me at the finish line. Your expertise is unmatched and I would recommend to anyone to take the consulting call or better yet, the full mentorship.
P-Club 2027 seat, calling it
