@CHWinery The original GSM was my favorite. I liked GSM2 but the original was sooooo good! 🍷🍷

it's so funny how for weeks everyone telegraphed "she's gonna bait him" and her team was like "we're gonna bait him" and he managed to act normal for like 3 minutes and then she said one thing about his rallies and it was like feeding a gremlin after midnight

@tomcolicchio on #LastChanceKitchen the chefs make 2 plates. One is for you - what is the other for? Photos/videos for production?

@sconserlodge Happy new year to you guys!!! May 2024 bring you the best things in life.

@JonathanFalcons @washingtonpost I completely agree. I absolutely loved the Inheritance cycle and the Eragon movie was just SO BAD. I wanted to love it but the interpretation of the book was so bad it was almost laughable. It’s too bad because the books would have ended up being an amazing film series.

@michaeloburns She’s adorable! Those eyes!!

[Mary Kate Ternberg @MKTernberg]

@ArmchairExpPod i should have listened to your warning on the 4th story in the Service Industry pod. I absolutely just threw up on myself while driving and eating a beef burrito. Ding ding ding. #lessonlearned #heedthewarning

@ChiMarathon @ChiDistSeries Is it correct that 5+ years of Shamrock Shuffle no longer gets runners a guaranteed entry in the Chicago Marathon?!?

I love this thought. As I’m getting older I’m fully embracing my weirdness and uniqueness. Seeing it in this light encourages me to do so even more.

Shower thought:

Normal behavior is forgotten. Only weird behavior survives.

Nobody tells stories of when you did the expected — they only tell stories when you did the unexpected.

Normal behavior costs nothing in the short term — but it disappears into the abyss.

Unconventional behavior costs a social price in the short term — but the actions live on as story assets in the future.

1. If you pay for the bill at everyone in the table - the short-term reaction is shock and confusion. But in the long term, it’s everyone’s favorite memory of you.

2. If you travel across the world for a friend's birthday, the friend’s initial reaction is: “You don’t have to do that” — but it’s the story they tell at your funeral.

3. If you’re 100% honest with your feedback on people’s business ideas, the short-term reaction is anger — but in the long term, you become one of the few people they trust.

If you study the biographies of the greats or attend the funerals of people you care about — the normal rational behavior is never mentioned.

It’s filled with stories that make the individual unique. It’s all the times they broke out of the median distribution of human behavior.

If you want to create behavioral assets that tell stories for you in the future, you have to pay the price of appearing weird in the present moment.

Your personal brand is defined by your weirdness, eccentricities, and irrational behavior.

If you remove them in order to fit in with the tribe, you remove all future stories and memories that tribe will tell about you.

@sconserlodge I’m sad to be missing it! Maybe in ‘25 I’ll be there for it!

[Mary Kate Ternberg @MKTernberg]

@sconserlodge I like that it’s officially in writing that I’m the favorite daughter! It’s legit now. 😂

[Mary Kate Ternberg @MKTernberg]

@JoJoFromJerz I don’t find it odd. I find it delicious.

[Mary Kate Ternberg @MKTernberg]

@michaeloburns I hope they visit the Mars Cheese Castle.
