The man who’s predicted the rise of EVERY social media:
Early investor in Facebook, Twitter and Slack.
And he just said “In 10 years, every company will be a media company”.
Gary Vee’s 5 predictions on the future of wealth creation (& why you should care):
Yesterday...
Terrence Howard made an appearance on Joe Rogan.
Easily one of the best episodes.
Not because they talked about acting.
They were talking about...
Don't believe the world is going to change?
That's because we're waiting on you.
Changing isn't coming from a savior entering stage left on a white horse.
It's comes because of every day people like you.
Who find the courage to...
Take the leap of faith.
And break free from mental slavery.
These are the Harriet Tubmans of the modern world.
Building our version of the underground railroad.
By leaving old systems of control...
To help build new systems of hope.
And behind them they create tunnels of opportunity.
For new dreamers to walk through.
There's already several places you'll see this taking place.
◎ Doctors...
Are starting to transition to holistic medicine, frequency healing and other energetic based systems. Becoming the healers they always were.
◎ Finance...
Crypto isn't for the radical anymore. Bros from the old world and TradFi are starting to making the transition into a financial system that takes care of the majority instead of the minority.
◎ Legal...
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), smart contracts, blockchain, and other crypto based tools are creating systems of agreement without as much reliance on trust.
◎ Education...
Teachers are shifting out of indoctrinated systems and embracing home schooling dynamics. Publishing their lesson plans and helping parents take sovereignty over education.
All of these systems and more... are transforming right in front of you.
If you still have on the old world glasses on...
You may not see it yet
But change is in motion.
When you look in history...
Major changes happened because of a few groups of people.
——————
The Pioneers
——————
There were pioneers who went first, and dreamed up a new world.
Whether it's the first settlers in America...
Or the first settlers of the Internet.
They had a dream, and the courage to go after it.
Everything always begins with a dream and...
These are the ones who pave the way for others to do something different.
But they needed help...
——————
The Builders
——————
These are the ones who see the vision and like where it's headed.
They believe in the blueprints and have the tools to build the prototypes.
Much of our builder era, started with the internet.
Which welcomed new tools of salvation.
It's not without flaws...
But it serves as a platform to build something new.
Based off the vision created by generations before us.
Like those that pioneered the hippie movement in the 70s.
Who dreamt up a world of... Love
Something more harmonious.
Now... we have a vision and working prototypes.
But what we need is users.
And that's where we are arriving to today.
————————
The Advocators
————————
These are the ones who've seen the vision and used the prototypes.
While they come last...
That doesn't make them unimportant.
It's because of them that a system goes from a club, to a country.
Most of you reading this... are probably in this group.
It's okay if you don't have the vision...
Or you can't build it either.
What's important is that you see the vision, and you live it.
Treat your attention like currency and direct it to the things you believe in.
All it takes...
Is a little bit of courage.
Courage to say no... to the shiny objects.
Which are dangled in front of you like carrots.
To manipulate your will and compliance in your own mental prison.
Courage to say no... to the things that help you...
But require the exploitation of others somewhere else.
Escaping this mental prison is like destroying the Death Star.
It has one fatal flaw.
It can only hold you hostage... if you give it permission.
This mental prison...
Is a prison of compliance.
It only works if you give it your time, money and attention.
Only when enough people decide to free their mind...
And resist the bait that convinces you to comply.
We can architect a new reality.
So.... dare to be great.
And have the courage to be different.
And in the great words of Morpheus
Free your mind...

Dr. @RobertMMetcalfe, Turing Award laureate: "#AI repeatedly ran out of data. Historically. But my theory now is, that it' not going to run out of data this time. AI and #blockchain and the bandwidth of the net are providing the data. In #Web3 we are taking up serious applications that require truth, those that require reliability, namely the knowledge graph. The knowledge graph, I think, is the core of Web3."
"AI is a value enhancer. So you put an AI in one of the participant networks, it's value will be leveraged by Metcalfe's law and not be determined by Metcalfe's Law."
"So I would expect AI - driven networks to be much more valuable than pre AI - driven networks"
What an insightful and fired up🔥chat together with @origin_trail's @BranaRakic and @IvanOnTech!
I spent two days with a group of 50 multimillionaire entrepreneurs in Texas.
Here are 10 things I learned:
1. Extraordinary people are just ordinary people willing to play a game for an extraordinary length of time. Very few people are willing to play a game for decades. If you are, you have an unfair advantage.
2. Sharpen the axe before chopping down the tree. Most of these entrepreneurs spent years identifying their key i business insight. That might look like wasted time, but it allowed them to deploy their energy with 100 or 1000x leverage later on.
3. You’ve gotta like hitting the ball. Novak Djokovic is famous for saying that he has been able to perform at such an extraordinary level because he likes hitting a tennis ball. No matter what you’re doing, you’ll only be able to do it at the top 1% level if you enjoy doing it. You can fake it in the short term, but not for decades.
4. Content is an incredible form of business leverage. Warren Buffett was one of the OG business content creators via his annual shareholder letters. Using content to attract people to your ideas and thinking is a way to play business on Easy Mode.
5. Acting in service of others is the path to lasting fulfillment in business. Those who play the game on another level all seem to ground themselves in the service of others as opposed to personal financial goals. Create value, receive value.
6. Authenticity > Everything. Being true to your core values is as important in business as it is in life. You can fake a character for a day, a week, or a year, but you can’t fake it for decades.
7. Be the first reader. Stephen King once said, “I’m not only the writer, I’m the first reader.” Create something you would be thrilled to consume, whether content, products, or services. If you honor this high bar, you’ll be on the right track.
8. Do you know what you're saying YES to? Everyone talks about saying NO to things, but unless you truly know what you're saying YES to, you'll have a hard time saying NO to anything. For me, saying YES to meaningful work, my closest loved ones, and my health are non-negotiables.
9. The energy you bring to your home life will govern your relationships with your partner and children. There are seasons of life when your professional pursuits may take up more of your time, but you can still control the energy you bring home. When you're with your family, be WITH YOUR FAMILY. Present energy is what matters.
10. Hunt antelope, not field mice. Stop wasting your time and energy on small decisions with small rewards. Your energy is limited, use it to hunt the antelope.

"You are not living life, you live like a robot!" (Vid Banned From YT)
Is what I get when people see my 4am schedule n find out I work 16 hours a day, don't drink, no sugar, dont game, party, indulge...
They are the ones not living n will die only with regret. Here's why
once you betray me, you lose that version you once had of me forever. whether i choose to forgive you or not, you'll never get that same me again and it's not even intentional.. my heart won't love you the same, my soul would tolerate you the same & my mind won't ever forget it.
