Coach Thomas Hammock is a real man and REAL MEN CRY. He has worked so hard to get Northern Illinois to this point. You can feel all that hard work pouring out of him throughout his post game interview after knocking off #5 Notre Dame IN THEIR HOUSE. It’s worth 2 min of your time.

Last year, #Laureus24 World Comeback of the Year Award Nominee @HallerSeb returned the world stage with his @BVB teammates after recovering from testicular cancer.

The striker had been through six months of treatment including two operations before his resilient return to the pitch and playing top-flight football.

A new podcast on the founder of Red Bull is available now!

A few surprising things I learned from reading about Dietrich Mateschitz:

1. He started the company when he was 41 years old.

2. He was making $500 to $800 million a year and his 49% stake is worth $20 to $30 billion.

3. He still prioritized fitness deep into his 70s and liked driving fast, piloting his planes, and competing in off-road motorcycle races.

4. The company was started with just $500,000 from Mateschitz and $500,000 from his partner.

Outside of a small loan from a local bank all other expansion was funded by profits.

5. The company reached profitability in its 3rd year and has been profitable every year since. (33 years and counting)

6. He took no dividends for the first 13 years and reinvested all profits into growth instead

7. He viewed Red Bull as a “marketing conglomerate” and tried to outsource everything else

8. He was intensely private. When an author tried to interview his elderly mother for an unauthorized biography
Mateschitz threatened to have his knee caps broken.

He said it would only cost $500 to hire a Russian to do the job.

9. There are no biographies written in English about Mateschitz.

10. He believed a handshake agreement among gentlemen was sufficient and regularly did business with trusted partners with no written contract.

11. He bought a popular Austrian magazine just so he wouldn’t appear in it.

12. He was universally described by former employees as a gentleman, charismatic, and fiercely loyal.

13. He didn’t like spending time socializing. He said:

“I don't believe in 50 friends. I believe in a smaller number. Nor do I care about society events. It's the most senseless use of time. When I do go out, from time to time, it's just to convince myself again that I'm not missing a lot."

14. He owned a private island in Fiji and said he was attracted to having his own independent state.

His state would have the shortest set of laws in the world:

“The rules are simple: Nobody tells you what you have to do — only what you don’t have to do.”

15. When he was asked if he was going to retire he said “I’m having more fun than ever.”

16. He refused to sell Red Bull or take it public and worked on it until he died.

This is an incredible idea from Christopher Nolan:

If you are obsessed with what you are making you can make other people obsessed with it too

"People will say to me:

There are people online who are obsessed with Inception or obsessed with Memento.

They're asking me to comment on that, as if I thought it were weird or something, and I'm like,

Well, I was obsessed with it for years.

Genuinely obsessed with it.

So it doesn't strike me as weird.

Every film I do, I have to believe that I'm making the best film that's ever been made.

Films are really hard to make.

They are all-consuming.

So it had never occurred to me there were people doing it who weren't trying to make the best film that ever was.

Why would you otherwise?

Even if it's not going to be the best film that's ever been made, you have to believe that it could be.

You just pour yourself into it and when it affects someone that way, that is a huge thrill for me—huge thrill.

I feel like I have managed to wrap them the up in it way I try to wrap myself up."

Dear Noam Tibon,

It is my honor to award you Saba Capital ‘Saba of the Year’ for 2023.

The $25,000 prize will be an annual award given to a grandfather that embodies the spirit of love, courage, loyalty, and service to his family and community. Put simply, the recipient must have done something extraordinary.

We are humbled to give you the Saba Award this year for your incredible actions in service to your family and wider community as evidenced by your heroism on October 7th. I have read many articles about you such as this one: https://t.co/e7NrMc7u8D. I hope to meet you in person someday.

I’m particularly excited to give you the award since my own Saba, Aaron Blachovitz, is my eternal hero for saving the life of my mother in Warsaw in 1942 by escaping the ghetto along with his wife, and handing her to a Christian farmer when she was just 1yr old. I’ve attached a picture of him from his hardware store in Tel-Aviv in the 1950s.

Congratulations,

Boaz
