You know the prompt, "if you had unlimited resources how would you spend your time?"
Yes, cliche... but quite useful too.
See if I had unlimited resources, I know I'd spend more time connecting with people interviewing them on my podcast.
Step 1 of behavior change is awareness.
Step 2 is action.
And like Marshawn Lynch, this newsletter is “bout that action boss.”
Sooo I started small and committed to recording my first podcast interview last month.
Hired a quick video/audio editor…Then clicked publish last week!
🎙️ Podcast Interview
The first interview was with my friend Jason Wright.
Every time I talk to Jason I leave in a GREAT mood (and learn a few things).
Few highlights:
- Escaping Corporate America (bought first company at age 28)
- Goal setting and ability to say “why not do it now?”
- Pursuing a life (not a career)
🏆 Nobel Prize
You’ve heard of the Nobel Prize… but any idea how it started?
Yeah me neither. (it’s wild)
So this dude Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist and the inventor of dynamite. 🧨
But in 1888, after his brother died, the newspapers mistakenly printed Alfred's name.
The obituary read: "The merchant of death is dead"
This prompted Alfred to think hard about his legacy. So he changed his will in 1895.
He wanted his fortune to fund a series of prizes for those who create the "greatest benefit to humankind".
The Nobel Prizes remain the highest honor 100+ years later.
All because of a misprinted obituary.
Legacy is a powerful tool.
🔍 Motion vs Action
I think about this all the time. (then I stop thinking about it bc overanalyzing = motion, not action)
It’s a great framework.
Start with a simple t-chart to audit your week.
Have an epic week.
