  1. I’ll be doing a live conversation with at 3pm PT. We’ll be talking about adventure (broadly speaking) and whatever you’d like—come say hi!

  2. A new way to overcome vaccine hesitancy! Key point: it’s not just free doughnuts once, it’s every day for the rest of 2021. 😳

  3. I really enjoyed this in-depth conversation with . They're doing good work in Malawi and elsewhere. 🙌🏼⚽️

  4. NEW: The Greatest Story Ever Sold. A follow-up to my last post (“Money Problems Are Temporary”) complete with comments on NFTs, Bitcoin, and why money is only as real as people decide it to be.

  5. This article on the risks of meditation is very interesting. Among other things, it points to research that shows many people who *report* positive effects from meditation actually *experience* more stress and poorer sleep than those who don’t.

  6. This is so Miami. “…a large crowd gathered at some point and other people started throwing up money in the air causing a larger crowd to gather.”

  7. What would you tell yourself if you could go back in time one year? Me: buy stock in Tesla, forget about going on book tour, and be cautious without being afraid.

  8. “With few exceptions, there is zero correlation between persons who employ the trope ‘Kafkaesque’ and those who have actually read Kafka.”

  9. I went to a yoga class for the first time in a year this week. Felt really good to get back to the mat! Going to re-introduce it to my regular routine. 🧘🏼‍♂️

  10. This is really cool—James Lawrence (the “Iron Cowboy”) is doing 100 full-distance triathlons in 100 days. That’s 140.6 miles a day!!

  11. What was your first job and what did you learn from it? At age 14 I was a dishwasher at a restaurant that I’m pretty sure was some sort of money laundering operation. Back then I just knew something was weird but had no idea what it was.

  12. Embarrassing author fact: I read at least two books a week, but when someone asks me in an interview what I’m reading, I can never remember anything I’ve read in months. 🤦‍♂️

  13. Totally true! I’m enjoying a lot, and has the best onboarding course for it.

  14. Last night I dreamed I adopted a cat and named him Awkward Paws. No idea where that came from but I’m taking it as proof that the subconscious really does work hard while you sleep.

  15. I really liked this post on the difference between “nice” and “kind” by . Short version: being nice is about optics, being kind is about meaningful change.

  16. I admire the vision of , an inclusive peer-to-peer network and future cryptocurrency. Who knows what it will come to, but the free app is interesting. You can use my referral code (193countries) or someone else’s if you’d like to try it.

  17. Advice to aspiring authors: writing a legit book proposal is MUCH harder than writing the actual book. After 7 books I’d like to think I know how to write, but I ALWAYS struggle with the proposal.

  18. There are some real benefits to social distancing. In an ideal world I’d vote to end the pandemic but keep restaurant tables spaced far apart.

  19. Just an update to say I have two tickets in the works for people so far. The offer is still open (for now at least) so do let me know if someone else needs help.

  20. Does anyone need help with some sort of essential or emergency travel in the next couple of weeks? I have a lot of airline miles I’m not using these days and would love to put them toward a better use than just hoarding. Pass it on…
