•Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks, laying them for hours at his country home in Kent.
•He joined the bricklayers’ union.
•In 1921, he wrote about why it worked; psychology took another 75 years to catch up.
•Churchill called his depression the “Black Dog,” which followed him for decades.
•His method: laying brick after brick, hour after hour.
•In a long essay for The Strand Magazine, he explained that people who think for a living can’t fix a tired brain by resting it.
•They must engage a different part of themselves — the part that moves the eyes and hands (e.g., woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting).
•Modern psychology calls this behavioral activation, one of the most-studied depression treatments.
•Depression creates a behavior trap: you feel bad → stop doing things → less to feel good about → feel worse → do even less.
•Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side: schedule the activity first, even when you don’t want to.
•Doing it produces small rewards (straighter wall, completed painting, cleaner room) that slowly rewire the brain — action first, feeling follows.
•2006 University of Washington study (241 adults with major depression): behavioral activation matched antidepressants for the most severely depressed and beat regular talk therapy.
•A 2014 review of 26 trials and over 1,500 patients confirmed the results.
•Physical work like bricklaying adds extra benefit: it crowds out rumination (looping bad thoughts).
•It demands both hands and provides immediate feedback — each brick straight or crooked; visible progress after an hour.
•As George Mack put it: “depression hates a moving target.”
•The science: depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

Buying a G-Wagon for your LLC is the smartest tax move in America

Section 179 of the IRS tax code lets you deduct 100% of the purchase price of a vehicle in the year you buy it, as long as the vehicle weighs over 6,000 pounds (gross vehicle weight rating)

The G-Wagon is 6,945 lbs. So is the Cadillac Escalade. So is the Range Rover, the Tesla Model X, the BMW X7, the Lexus LX, the Ford F-250, and basically any heavy SUV or truck. All Section 179 eligible

The math on a $90,000 G-Wagon purchased through your LLC:

Purchase price: $90,000
Section 179 deduction year 1: $90,000 (100% of purchase)
Tax savings if you're in a 37% federal bracket: $33,300
Tax savings on state income tax (avg 5%): $4,500
Total first-year tax savings: $37,800

Effectively the IRS subsidizes 42% of the purchase price. A $90K G-Wagon costs your business $52,200 after the deduction lands

How the rules actually work:

The vehicle has to be used 50%+ for business purposes. You document this with a mileage log showing business trips vs personal. Most operators easily hit 50%+ if they use the vehicle for client meetings, vendor visits, or any commute to a business location

The deduction limit for a passenger SUV under 6,000 lbs is roughly $12,400 in year 1 (much smaller). Over 6,000 lbs the limit jumps to the full purchase price. The 6,000 lb threshold is the entire reason every successful operator drives a heavy SUV

Bonus depreciation: if Section 179 doesn't fully cover the purchase (rare for vehicles), bonus depreciation kicks in for whatever's left. As of 2026 bonus depreciation is at 60% but congress changes this regularly

How you fund the purchase:

Stack 0% business credit cards. $90K of vehicle purchase routed through a dealer that accepts cards (or via Plastiq for the dealer that doesn't) sits on a 12-15 month 0% APR card. You drive the G-Wagon today. You get the $37,800 tax deduction at year-end. The credit card is at 0% for 12+ months while you pay it down from business cash flow

Net first-year cost of the vehicle: $52,200 (post-deduction price), spread interest-free over 12 months. Effective monthly cost: $4,350

Or take a $50K-$90K equipment loan from a bank like SoFi or Bank of America Business at 7-9% APR. The deduction still applies. The loan is structured around the asset

A client we worked with last quarter bought a 2024 Range Rover for his marketing LLC. Total cost $108K. Routed through Plastiq onto Chase Ink Business Cash and Amex Business Gold. Section 179 deduction in tax year 2024: $108K. He was in a 37% federal + 9% California state bracket. Total tax savings: $49,680

Effective net cost: $58,320 for an asset that was already going to be a personal car and is now a business asset with full deductibility. Plus he kept the credit cards at 0% while business cash paid them down through the year

The IRS wrote Section 179 into the code to incentivize small businesses to buy equipment. Vehicles count as equipment if they meet the weight threshold. Almost every wealthy business owner uses this. Almost every small business owner has no idea it exists

(we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding and structure the Section 179 vehicle play alongside it. link in bio)

A New Way to Live Together

What if the future of family living isn't about moving farther apart... but building closer together?

Imagine a piece of land where everyone has their own home, their own space, and their own privacy -yet parents, siblings, kids, and loved ones are only a short walk away. No long drives for Sunday dinners. No worrying about aging parents living alone. No strangers raising your children while family lives miles away.

This kind of family compound keeps not only memories close, but also wealth, land, and opportunities within the family. Shared gardens, shared meals, shared support... and a lifestyle built on connection instead of distance.

Conor Neill: "18 years of school trained you to ruin conversations"

"You finish your pitch and the customer says, 'Your product is too expensive!' You arrive home a few minutes late, your partner says, 'You are always late.' There's a dirty plate left on the table 'You never wash the dishes.' What do you say in this moment?"

Neill explains the problem:

"Most of you, me included, went through 14 years of school where we were taught one way to respond to questions. Teacher asks, 'How do you spell cats?' Student: 'C-A-T.' Teacher asks, 'What is osmosis?' Student explains in detail. For 14 years, you've been taught to give answers to questions. If you went to university, you probably had another 3 or 4 years of giving answers to questions."

Here's what that does to you:

"In real life in persuasion, in getting to what the other person is really about, what their needs really are, the worst thing you can do is give an answer to a question."

He gives examples:

"If someone says, 'Your product is too expensive,' and you say, 'No it's not! It's only €1,000'; you've lost every chance to understand what else is behind their reasoning. If you get home and your partner says, 'You're always late!' and you say, 'No, no, no, Tuesday I was definitely here on time', you're gonna have a crap weekend."

Neill explains why this happens:

"When your partner says, 'You're always late,' emotion goes up. And what happens? The thinking part disconnects. The way to make someone stupider is to insult them, object to them, tell them they are wrong. When you're asked a question, there's an emotional reaction, and the higher emotion goes, the lower thinking goes."

He continues:

"If you don't practice this response, you're not going to be able to do it in the moment. If you don't practice repeatedly how you'll respond to 'You're always late,' 'You never wash the dishes,' 'Your product is too expensive,' 'Your competitor is better,' 'You failed us 3 years ago,' 'I don't trust your company', you're not going to be able to do it in the heat of the moment."

Here's what to do instead:

"When you are asked a question or given an objection, I want you to say: 'I understand.' And repeat in your words what they're saying. Then give an open question back."

He demonstrates:

"'Your product is too expensive!' → 'I understand that money is an important factor for you. What other criteria will be used in making this decision?'"

Neill calls this "Conversation Aikido":

"Martial arts are about using the energy and force of the opponent against them. In Judo, if someone punches you, you pull their arm and allow the energy to keep flowing. In Aikido, the concept is you go toward the punch. You go toward the energy. If someone punches you, if someone asks you a question, if someone objects, the Aikido method is to go toward them and see the world from their view."

He explains how to practice:

"'You're always late!' → 'I understand you feel frustrated.' 'I understand you feel let down.' You'll have to work on this quite a few times over the next 10 years to find the set of words that captures what the other person feels, what's behind it. Then ask: 'What can we do now?' 'What happened during the day?' 'What would you like to talk about?'"

Neill shares what happens when you don't do this:

"When a client says 'You're too expensive' and you say 'No, we're not!' you learn nothing about who else they're considering, what other criteria are important, what process they've gone through, who else is involved in the decision."

He closes with a guarantee:

"By giving the answer, we shut down the possibility of hearing what's really going on in the other person's mind. But if you say 'I understand,' accept the energy coming from the other person, and give back an open question, I guarantee that if you do it 4 times, the answer to your 4th open question begins to be the real underlying need, issue, or interest of the person you're listening to."
