Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM.
Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute.
I walked around watching the number climb. Found it.
Apparently you can just make the tool you need now.

My 9yo has a school test tomorrow on "Digital Technologies", so we worked with @cursor_ai to develop a quick course and practice software specifically designed to teach her the relevant areas and then test her.
@grok did a great job: the app was engaging, everything was 100% correct, the test was fun, and my daughter learned a bunch of new things.
We truly live in incredible times.
This whole thing took maybe 3 minutes in total!!
Every self-respecting man reaches a point in his life where he grows so disgusted by his own unfulfilled potential.
He realizes his stress is not a byproduct of the work, but the work he failed to do. The sleep lost was not from the risk taken, but the opportunity he bypassed. The anxiety was not at all pathological, but a divine signal of what he was capable of all along.
The problem is as timeless as the antidote: It is the discomfort. It is the boredom. It is the immunity to uncertainty.
It is the work.
Elite Lat Pulldown Cue (Bookmark this):
Most people initiate a pulldown by immediately bending their elbows and pulling with their arms.
Instead, try this:
1. Let the shoulders rise at the top, then drive the shoulders and elbows down toward your hips.
2. Begin each rep from a controlled stretch, allowing your shoulders to elevate naturally. As you initiate the pull, think about moving your shoulders away from your ears while driving your elbows down toward your hips NOT behind your body.
3. Keep your rib cage controlled and avoid aggressively arching your back or pinching your shoulder blades together.
This creates a smoother pulling path and makes it easier to keep the movement focused where you want it: IN THE LATS.
@MogLifeLabs Cracking up that people gassing you up for the transformation but talking so much shit to past you.
But who amongst us can cast stones…I also looked at the pre- pic and throught, eww
If I'm a burnt out operator right now, this is what I'm doing to alleviate some of the pressure:
1. List all functions of the business (money, ops, sales, etc.)
2. Put the current name by each one (even if it's yours or multiple names)
3. Do it again with how it SHOULD look
4. Build the exits (when and how you'll give ownership away)
5. Define expected outcomes
6. Put a timeline on it
7. Get team buy-in
8. Execute
It's not enough to assign roles and tasks. You have to assign ownership of defined outcomes.
Humanity survived nuclear weapons being dropped, Depressions, non-stop wars and violence. AI is just a tool that we can use so we can be more creative. Here's what AI will do in next ten years: create industries we could not have predicted, create massive deflation that is going to cause Fed to cut rates to zero - driving up all markets, and inspire our creativity. Use AI as a tool and not as a master or a slave.
Unless you show me you can train exactly like this I’m not adding more volume:
1. FULL ROM
2. CONSTANT TENSION
3. CONTROL OF THE WEIGHT
4. DRIVE LIKE THERES 4x THE WEIGHT
5. NO RESTS AT THE TOP
6. CLEAR VISUAL/AUDIO EVIDENCE OF INTENSITY/EXERTION.
@rob_avis_ramble Great thread by @alpharivelino but damn does that read as high/exhausting level of effort. Still think it’s the way to go, but definitely have a long way to go to implement
I think one of the reasons I got divorced is that I blamed my wife for things and that led to massive fights
With my new girlfriend, I don't blame her for *anything*. I take full responsibility when anything goes wrong between us and that helps calm her down
being sad ur not where u want to be is wild as fuck because ur the one who's fault it is. It's like complaining you didn't drink coke zero today when you poured yourself orange juice
The only reality in which this makes any sense is if you've substituted action & personal responsibility (what is required) with false hope, avoidance & procrastination
Now that may be bitter pill to swallow but there is a beautiful opposite side, and that is you have control over your skillset levels & the shots you put up
You can be in a realm of success 6 months from now that you couldn't have predicted simply by making the DECISION to raise your standards & do the actions / solve the problems that are required to get where you want to go
Make fear ur bitch. babystep to a leap, then keep leaping to a SHIFT.
"what did i actually get done today?"
And if answer isn't a tangible step towards where u wanna go, solve the problem
Do this with all your goals and watch how much easier it is to accomplish them.
Describe your future reality as if you've already achieved it, and it'll be 100x easier to achieve.
Speak about yourself and your circumstances as if you've already changed NOT as if you are changing.
It's not "I'm trying to quit or change XYZ"
It's "I've quit and changed XYZ already"
Describe your goals in the past tense, and then all of a sudden it feels to your mind as if you've already accomplished it. So you naturally start. Adjusting your behavior to this new reality.
Statistically your best chance to create wealth is to become an absolute master of sales and persuasion. Over 70% of self-made billionaires started with direct sales. There’s no other skill even close to those odds.
IMO you need a 2ish year $$$ (CASH) sprint where you hyper-obsessively focus on building the skillset of acquiring cashflow in some way. You pick a lane and then you attack. You want to become full-stack enough to generate the $$$ from ZERO, in the lane you chose. And you want to SPRINT to this capability/capacity. And then once you have it, teach people how to do it asap, free or paid. You should have tens, hundreds, or thousands of people who have made $$ under your supervision/direction. The reason for this is yes to make more $$ for yourself, but more importantly, to also hone your skillsets to crazy levels. To stay sharp & agile, and to hypercode the competencies into your body/being. Generate leads from weird fucking ways & close them. Take someone who would otherwise be totally fucked and somehow get them printing with your hand, through them. Inject monstrous variables into your systems and then overcome them& become hyper-competent in the lane(s) you decide to play in. You can live 400 lives of experience by getting your hands into the trenches/shit & helping people. And that sauce you pull out is experience-based wisdom/insight/knowledge a book or advice can't touch (literally), from from your LANE, but also from the human psyche.
Once you have that, then IMO you should focus on life-design aggressively, and as SOON as possible. Why? Because you will hit your $$ number fairly quickly (inevitable for you cuz ur probably high IQ & balls of steel), and what will you be left with? You will be left with lost time & seeing what you filled it with that wasn't "grind" related. You will look back, with your $$ in bank, and think "damn, i can't get my youth back". Or "damn, i can't get that window of time to be retarded in my 20's back". You will then look at your millions, and ask yourself "was that worth the trade?", and IMO that answer is only YES if you also adventuremaxxed, had fun, got out of your fearbox, made the move, asked the girl out, quit the job, sent on what you wanted. The core focal point is if you SHREDDED Cope/fear in name of what YOU wanted - not how many shekels did you get or how many headpats/sealclaps did you get. and If you look back and see nothing behind you except $$ in ur bank account (that you acquired in a way that wasn't aligned with what you actually wanted) + a fuckton of moments of you allowing FEAR to stop you from LIVING - you WILL be like "oh shit, i fucked up", regardless of how many sealclaps you got.
The fundamental realization you need to have asap is CASH won't get you anything you *ACTUALLY* want. You've been sold a lie. It won't get you true respect, it won't get you a loving relationship, it won't get you health, it won't get you self-love/satisfaction, it *gets* you nothing other than security out of survival. And from that base, the ball is in ur hands. cash is simply a tool, like a fork. Imagine thinking a fork will fill ur emotional voids. Well guess what? Money is also a non-sentient object, like a fork.
In this realm time is REAL, and it passes. And when it does, it is gone. Your windows are real. Your opportunities are limited (from a time POV).
You're waiting on the sidelines stuck in self-hate loops because you're afraid of being judged, while your entire fucking life passes you by.
Realize NOBODY is watching, and you're not in a game of 'i need to do what i think will make them accept me'' (which causes perpetual delay), and instead you're in a game of "are you attacking what YOU truly want, or are you optimizing for safe approval of people that don't exist?"
Imagine you're about to die. Did you live for YOU? TRULY? Courageously? Or did you stay stuck, too afraid to go after what YOU wanted, because it didn't fit other people's boxes of how They wanted to see YOU live YOUR life?
Commit to what you need to do. Build the skillsets that allow you to soar. Then soar.
...Are you done waiting?
Are you ready to LIVE?
