Even if you stop doing something , realizing what you’ve learned is vital

🏀Basketball taught me contributing to something can be more important than being the sole best.

🎸Band taught me it’s ok to be feel and follow something without logical thought

🎥YouTube taught me speaking in front of an audience isn’t as scary as it may seem

🏫College and hyperloop taught me you can create things you never thought possible. We are the future.

📦Dropshipping taught me customers may chase a brand name more than the actual product

🚗 Big companies have taught me systems have high highs and low lows. Some rules need to be broken.

None of these individually have made me a millionaire and that’s ok.

The learnings have molded me into who I am today.

Keep learning from every experience you go through.

Millionaire will come, and my story only will only keep building.

What’s your story?

The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New standards. New habits. New mindsets. New people. New career. It's never too late. You can change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.

More metal.

We are pleased to announce our $11M seed round led by Hyperion, with participation from Palmer Luckey, Y Combinator, Jared Friedman, RoboStrategy, Operator Collective, DTX Ventures, Alumni Ventures, and others.

This funding will enable us to scale production, technology, and speed to meet the continuing demand from America's industrial base.

Congratulations to our hard-working team on this accomplishment. It's time to cut more metal.

@JLopas One of the best. Curious to hear about working with ComEd and how the integration goes

[Jon Barker @JBarker3295]

@investmattallen I think @JLopas has been saying this for awhile

@JLopas It’s the best

Liquid glass makes sense. Apple wants to get users accustomed to Vision’s interface. The shift of phones to this style reduces VR friction

I just uploaded a new video about my efforts to manufacture something in America.

@JLopas What’s the current lead time?

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Learn to ask, “If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?”

Don’t ever arrive at the office or in front of your computer without a clear list of priorities. You’ll just read unassociated e-mail and scramble your brain for the day.

Compile your to-do list for tomorrow no later than this evening. I don’t recommend using digital to-do lists, because it is possible to add an infinite number of items. I use a standard piece of paper folded in half three times, which fits perfectly in the pocket and limits you to noting only a few items.

There should never be more than two mission-critical items to complete each day. Never. It just isn’t necessary if they’re actually high-impact.

If you are stuck trying to decide between multiple items that all seem crucial, as happens to all of us, look at each in turn and ask yourself, If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?

To counter the seemingly urgent, ask yourself: What will happen if I don’t do this, and is it worth putting off the important to do it?

@NizzyABI This is siiiiiick

[Jon Barker @JBarker3295]

Building something ground up makes you appreciate the immense effort that goes into simple tasks
