Never confuse someone who can explain a business with someone who can run one. Starbucks’ former CEO spent 19 years at McKinsey and just 3 years running a company. When he stepped in, the stock went from $114 billion to $72B in just 17 months. The best business school is being in business.

This November, voters will decide the fate of the Colorado Connector, a proposed transit plan featuring 10 daily round trips between Fort Collins and Denver, and eight between Denver and Pueblo, with an end-to-end travel time of 2 hours and 15 minutes.

On this exact day in 1780, three ordinary militiamen stopped a stranger on a road, searched him, found treason hidden in his boot, turned down a small fortune to let him walk, and in doing so saved West Point and possibly the whole Revolution. Their names were John Paulding, Isaac Van Wart, and David Williams, and almost no one remembers them. They were not famous soldiers. They were young New York farmers, part of the informal patrols that watched the dangerous no-man's-land north of British-occupied New York City, a lawless strip crawling with raiders and spies from both sides. On the morning of September 23, near Tarrytown, they stopped a well-dressed rider who called himself John Anderson. Here is where luck and character collided. The rider, seeing rough men in mixed clothing, guessed wrong and assumed they were Loyalists like himself, and he let slip that he was a British officer. The instant he realized his mistake, he tried to backtrack, but it was too late. The three militiamen were suspicious now, and they decided to search him. They made him strip, and inside his stockings, tucked into his boot, David Williams found folded papers, detailed plans of the American fortress at West Point, its defenses, its garrison, its weaknesses. They had no idea, in that moment, that the man was Major John André, head of British intelligence, or that the papers had been handed to him by Benedict Arnold himself in a treason plot to sell West Point to the enemy. But they knew they had caught something enormous. And then came the test that made them heroes. André, desperate, tried to buy his freedom. He offered them his fine horse, his watch, and money, and by the account given at his trial, a bribe of a thousand guineas in gold, an almost unimaginable sum for three farmers of modest means, enough to change their lives forever. All they had to do was let him ride away. They said no. Three poor young men, offered a fortune to look the other way, refused it, and instead marched their prisoner to the nearest American officer. That single act of plain honesty unraveled the entire conspiracy. The papers exposed the plot to betray West Point. Arnold barely escaped to a British ship. André was tried and hanged. And the fortress that guarded the Hudson, the linchpin of the American position, was saved. The young nation understood what it owed them. Congress voted the three men the very first military decoration in American history, a silver medal called the Fidelity Medallion, its reverse inscribed with a Latin motto meaning "the love of country conquers." Each also received a lifetime pension and a farm. George Washington himself presented them their medals. Remember Paulding, Van Wart, and Williams. Not generals, not statesmen, just three farmers on patrol who happened to stop the right man on the right morning, and who then proved that they could not be bought at any price. The Revolution was saved that day not by a brilliant plan or a famous hero, but by ordinary men who were simply, stubbornly honest when a fortune said they should not be.

The richest people I know have their travel assistant fly to destinations the day before they get there to set up an 8 Sleep in their hotel room. You can't afford that but you can buy one for your bedroom at home.

What is this nonsense? 35 is still peak living. Unless you're eating slop and not lifting. In which case, you wouldn't have "easy street" at 60. You'd already been 5 years away from a heart attack. My goodness.

I have an iPhone Air and it’s my favorite iPhone ever.

my girlfriend costs me thousands of dollars per month, but she's one of the best investments I've made in my business. the dinners are expensive. the weekends are expensive. and she comes on every business trip i take. but there's a few reasons she nets the business a positive ROI, regardless. first, it only works with boundaries. when i have to work, i tell her i have to work, and she respects it. in fact, she supports it. when i do not have to work, i just have to be fully with her. this makes me so much more efficient. work that used to take me hours now takes me minutes because she tells me to lock in and get my shit done. a relationship becomes a problem the moment it starts slowing the business down, so we set the right dynamic on day one. second, she handles the things i would never make time for. i ask her to plan company dinners, edit the occasional tiktok, all the fun stuff. it allows me to focus more on the most important things in the biz. third, the halo effect is real. when you walk into a dinner or an event with a 10/10, your perceived status goes up before you say a word, and every conversation after that gets easier. not to be corny. the halo effect is very real, though. it's much easier for someone to believe you're about it if you have a good looking woman by your side. "if you can't piff a woman, you can't piff a deal" is the classic saying. but the last reason matters the most. building a company is stressful, and having someone i can find peace in makes the hard weeks easier. it feels good to have someone to provide for. i work harder because of her.
