1 Stayed up late last night, exchanging emails with this guy in Los Angeles, producer for a TV show you’ve probably heard of. They’re doing an exposé on shady affiliate marketing courses, wanted my take. Not sure if I’ll end up on the show, but worth the effort just on the off chance. 2 Someone …
1 Up too early, looking down on the village before the mist takes it. Feels like time has paused for a bit, the new year sleeping in. I make coffee and listen to the song that’s been playing in my head for no apparent reason. Still the same, moving game to game, no one standing …
1 Everything seems weird if you step back and try see it with fresh eyes. Basketball, people running around bouncing a ball. Weird. Decorated fake trees in our homes this time of year. Weird. Me pushing pixels around a screen all day and somehow getting paid for it. Weird. 2 Sometimes I’ll read an old …
1 My business is a constant grind, today a prime example. I take solace in it, knowing that most of my competitors aren’t going to put in so much consistent effort. Words from Munger also comfort me… To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a …
1 As kids, a friend and I pretended some bad guys tied us up and we had to escape. My buddy made out like the ropes were loose and it was easy to get free. I didn’t like that. I wanted it to be hard, wanted to earn it. I still often think that way, …
1 The older I get, the more I resist change. Even simple things, like how I’m learning Spanish. I have a little routine for that now and even though it’s not very effective I’m hesitant to change it.

1 I keep glancing at this girl in Starbucks. She’s been sitting here half an hour, mostly staring into space. I’ve been sitting here half an hour, mostly staring at a screen. Which of us is the weirdo? 2 The guy serving is from Venezuela. He estado, I tell him. He’s surprised, asks me what …
1 Asking people what is the strangest business they’ve heard about at this conference. Some of the answers… 2 This conference was the most social I’ve been in several years. Enjoyed the banter, getting into flowing conversations, making people laugh. Managed my energy well too, don’t feel like I missed out on anything over the …
1 Another legal threat from a course creator. Sent them our review, told them we’d correct any errors. And this is how they respond. Someone on my team receives these emails now instead of me, so I don’t take it so personally. 2 The last written words of Leonardo da Vinci… “Here’s another way of looking …
1 Trying to be more like LeBron James. He’s older now, can’t go all-out all the time, has to pick his spots, take some plays off. I’ve been going hard at it the last few days, had to take some plays off today, before I pulled a mental hamstring. 2 I’ve heard that recreational drugs …
