[Peter Kuperman @p_kuperman]

Alpha School is building 4 types of high schools: Service, Division 1 Athletics, Entrepreneurship and "get into a Top 20 university" high schools:

Service high schools will be where you do things like spend a year in Africa building an Alpha School and doing your top 1% academics 3 hours a day, but on site on a different continent.

D1 Athletics high schools will be where you spend 5+ hours a day building yourself into an elite college athlete, maybe with professional aspirations. Again, you'll do your top 1% academics in only 3 hours a day, opening up most of your day to be an incredible athlete.

Entrepreneurship high schools like Founders School run by @nateliason will be where you learn how to earn a million dollars in profits during high school, starting at 12 pm, and only after doing your top 1% academics in only 3 hours a day.

"Get into a top 20 college" high schools will have a focus on giving you 40+ hours a week to build a portfolio of Olympic-level (academic) extracurriculars to go along side top 1% academics in only 3 hours a day.

The common theme here is that when it is possible to get a 1560+ SAT and 10+ APs during high school in only 3 hours a day, teenagers can open up their schedule to spend their years doing the stuff they want to at the highest levels.

This is much different than the best private high schools where classes and homework take up so much time that students only have at most ~20 hours a week to work on their passion projects and leadership activities.

Alpha School gives teenagers 2X+ the time, which makes for much more interesting people at the age of 18. That's why I'm building Toronto into the first 1,000+ student Alpha School city. Reach out if you are interested.

June 11, 2018. Day 1.

Eight years ago today, we moved to Colorado to reboot our lives.

We look happy… but behind the smiles was a lot of pain and uncertainty:

—Our marriage was struggling
—I was the most disillusioned I’ve ever been
—The kids didn’t ask to have their lives disrupted
—I had walked away from an 8-figure sum of money

I had no real plan for the future. What I did know was that I needed something different. I had a strong hunch that being in my happy place would give us a fresh start.

My wife was skeptical, but willing to take a leap of faith. (The trust was earned—I hadn’t steered the family wrong in 20 years of marriage.)

On paper, this move made no sense. I had checked all the boxes that define success in modern society. From the outside, we were living the dream.

But it wasn’t my version of success. I vividly remember sitting in my executive office in Dallas, looking out the window, and thinking, “What the F am I doing here?”

Hard things are hard. There’s never a good time to make bold moves. Especially when you have millions of reasons to maintain the status quo. That’s why most people never do it.

Fast forward eight years…

Our reboot was far from easy, but it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I have the best life of anyone I know (despite being a lot less rich than I could have been). I’ve literally spent 1,000 days outside instead of in an office. That adds up to massive wealth in experiences.

My wife feels the same way. She has hiked 47 of Colorado’s 58 fourteeners and is glad we made the move.

Our marriage is in the best place it’s ever been. We recently became empty nesters and are having fun planning another mini-reboot to take advantage of our newfound freedom.

Our kids have thrived. The adventures I dreamed about as a kid are normal days for them. More importantly, they’ve watched Mom and Dad live the family motto:

"Dahlstroms invest in experiences."

Life is never perfect, but I finally built the one that I (the real me) wanted. So here’s my message to you:

You can do the same.

But only if you muster the courage to make bold, scary moves. There will never be a good time to do it. And there are no guarantees it will work out.

But one thing’s for sure:

You’ll never discover what could be if you don’t try.

🤙

P.S. My hope is that this story inspires at least one person to make their move. If you enjoyed this post, would you give it a like and repost and let me know in the comments?

Your body has a danger alarm.

The HPA axis is one part of this alarm system.

Simple version:

Brain sees danger.
Body hits alarm.
Stress chemicals flood your system.
You survive.

Perfect when danger is real.

Destructive when the alarm keeps firing long after danger is gone.

[Gary Brecka @thegarybrecka]

removed the mold. You moved into a clean house. So why are you still dealing with brain fog, fatigue, gut issues, and inflammation?

According to Dr. John Kim, the problem may not be the mold anymore. It may be that your cells are still stuck in defense mode.

In this new episode, we break down the Cell Danger Response, mold toxicity, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and the ENCORE method for helping the body finally heal.

The greatest mistake you can do when you're dealing with anxiety is trying to use logic.

You can't convince yourself out of anxiety.

It will never work.

Let me show you what works...

[Matthew LaBosco @matthew_labosco]

High cortisol is the real reason you wake up at 3-4 AM.

It also shaves 5 years off your life — tanks testosterone, locks belly fat, literally shrinks your brain.

If I wanted to fix it without medication, here are 8 things I'd do every day:

1. No food 3 hours before bed.

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

8 walking cheat codes I know at 46 that I wish I knew at 26:

1. Japanese Interval Walking

Alternate 3 min brisk / 3 min slow × 30 min. This HIIT-style walk reduces blood pressure, stroke risk, and boosts VO₂ max while burning fat and improving heart health.

🔘 The Reset Button

(This post has an important point—and it’s not about diet.)

I rarely weigh myself, but two days ago I tipped the scales at 205. That’s 10 pounds too heavy—the result of 5 weeks with no climbing (due to surgery) plus too much of my wife’s homemade ice cream.

I sounded the alarm—as I write these words, I'm 36 hours into a fast.

Each time I fast, I’m reminded how much of my eating is driven by routine and boredom, not actual hunger or nutritional need.

My friend Brynn adheres to an ultra-strict diet due to chronic gut issues. She makes zero exceptions, ever. One time I asked her:

Aren’t you hungry all the time?

I'll never forget her response:

“I was at first. Then I realized that being a little hungry is OK. Now I barely think about it, and I feel ten times better.”

Being a little hungry is OK.

🔘 In all areas of life, it’s good to hit The Reset Button occasionally.

Years ago, I interviewed the well-known climber Will Gadd. He had just sold his house and moved into a van to chase good weather across North America.

I asked Will how the transition was going. He gave a similar answer to Brynn’s:

“It was uncomfortable for the first three weeks. But when everything you own has to fit into a van, you quickly realize how little you really need to be happy. Now I’ll never go back.”

The Reset Button is so important that Elon Musk made it step two of his “algorithm” for product design:

“Delete any part or process you can. You may have to add them back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10% of them, then you didn’t delete enough.”

The same applies to life.

Joni Mitchell sang, “You don’t know what you got till it’s gone.” It’s a great litmus test:

Remove something from your life for 30 days. If it’s important, you’ll miss it.

Just add it back.

But you might discover—like Brynn, Will, and I—that less is more.

Whether it’s our body, the things we own, our relationships, or even our thoughts, we tend to put on metaphorical weight over time.

🔘 Maybe it’s time to hit The Reset Button.

P.S. If you enjoyed this post, would you please comment, like, and repost? The algorithm hates this type of content.

This is the most important message: testing is available that can help you prevent catastrophic health events. Get them.

Blood tests helped me find cancer slightly earlier.

Imaging is now available that would have found it even sooner (before my doctors would have).

At the age of 50, divergence in lifestyle becomes extreme.

Some people have been married 25 years with grandkids.
Some are dating 25-year-olds.

Some are retired.
Some are still grinding.

Some are at death’s doorstep.
Some are fitter than ever.

But they all have one thing in common:

They’re living the cumulative consequences of a million choices they made in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.

Life is simple cause and effect. You decide today (and every day) who you’ll be at 50.

Tape this question to your bathroom mirror.
Figure out what kind of life you want.
Make that outcome inevitable.

P.S. Yes, luck and bad breaks play a role, but: a) over decades, it’s less than most people think; and b) you can’t control it anyway. Make good choices consistently and watch how lucky you get.

Sometimes I go back to previous posts.
On the way up - people happy.
On the way down - people sad.
If you get caught- emotions
What has really changed in a week?

Let’s compare to Willy Wonka- this is dumb- but easy bc everyone knows it.

When Charlie and grandpa Joe are on the tour they get drunk on fizzy lifting drink. They sing. They dance. They fly. Maybe a little too high. They burp it out. And back to reality. No harm no foul. Except. Mr wonka was pissed. That was his fizzy lifting drink. It got stolen.

Stocks aren’t much different. They go up. They down down. Back to reality. When you take things from the Mr Wonka of the markets .. they make you pay.

Point being - don’t steal fizzy lifting drink.
You’ll still get the chocolate factory at the end of the day. You just gotta make sure you have the everlasting gobstopper as collateral.

I can afford to buy my boys almost anything they want.
That's exactly why I don't.

Some of the most important lessons kids learn have nothing to do with money and everything to do with self-control.🧵

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫 @ThePreserverofU]

THIS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE ONE DAY:

1) Sudden panic attack → Touch something cold (water, phone, metal). Your brain switches from fear to safety mode.

2) Heart beating too fast → Cough 2–3 times forcefully. It resets your heart rhythm.

3) Can’t breathe properly → Put your hands on top of your head. Your lungs open up instantly.

4) Feeling dizzy → Focus on one spot and tense your legs. Blood rushes back to your brain.

5) Stuffy nose → Hold your breath and nod your head up & down slowly. Open blocked airways.

6) Sudden anxiety → Splash water on your face – it activates the calm reflex.

7) Can’t sleep → Exhale longer than you inhale (4–7 breathing). Your brain goes into sleep mode.

Starlink Mini is now officially installed in the @cybertruck!
Paired it with a low-profile black cover that blends in perfectly with the interior. Looks factory and stays out of the way while delivering solid connectivity.
Texas roads just got even more connected. Loving the backup internet option for road trips and remote areas.

Most people walk past one of the best machines in the gym everyday.

The rower can save your knees, strengthen your back and reduce your risk of heart attack.
