5 reasons you should go for it:
• Nobody is thinking about your life as much as you are.
• Playing it safe is still a risk.
• You can always change direction. You can’t get back lost time.
• The worst-case scenario is usually survivable.
• The best-case scenario could change your life.
🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.
Taught by the people who built it.
Free. No registration. No paywall.
I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.
Watch it and bookmark it now.
@JustinArnold_UK The best writing advice I ever received was, “Always go even deeper into your explanation of what you’re writing about; leave no question unanswered. Assume your reader needs every detail relayed clearly, every time .” Yes, I always follow it.
Sam Altman:
"We're going to see 10-person billion-dollar companies pretty soon."
"If I were 22 right now, I'd feel like the luckiest kid in history."
Most people will read this, feel inspired for 3 minutes, and go back to what they were doing.
The ones who act will build a one-person company this weekend.
One tool. Claude Cowork. Full operation.
This is the exact playbook ↓
INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 60-minute Cambridge lecture by Demis Hassabis will teach you more about the future of AI than most people will learn in the next 5 years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
@Codie_Sanchez I see you, I hear you, I sit with you, and every other woman who has ever experienced this. I’m sending you hugs, love and light Codie 💯✨💞
Stop building someone else’s dream. Buy the business instead. Main Street Millionaire Live breaks down exactly how to acquire cash-flowing businesses — even if you’ve never bought one before.
Ownership > employment.
Your bank account is a reflection of:
- how fast you move
- how many difficult convos you have
- how much you say no to distractions
- how much negativity you ruthlessly cut
10 uncomfortable truths you need to know:
1. No one cares
Get over your own BS. Stop getting in your own way.
The best way to grow is to take action daily. You are your own biggest bottleneck.
2. You don’t have much time
Life goes by fast. Be ruthless in saying “no” to distractions and double down on the most important thing - every single day.
3. You’re weird (and that’s okay)
You spend way too much time caring what other people think. Stop it. You are weird. You’re likely kinda crazy. Embrace it. It’s actually what makes you endearing and different.
Your weirdness is your strength.
4. If you’re not where you want to be, wake up 1 hour earlier
Mornings are sacred time without any distractions. Use them to work on things that can drastically change the trajectory of your life.
If you’re not happy with your current situation, get out of bed earlier.
5. Scared = Ready
Are you terrified? Good.
Are you nervous? Good.
Anxiety is excitement without breathing. Take a deep breath. Don’t back down. Do the thing that scares you. On the other side of fear is your destiny.
6. Send it anyway
I’ve made millions by just sending the damn email. Making the damn call. Action is a muscle.
Build strength by taking action when faced with resistance.
7. Mute the mob
The average person is fat.
The average person is lazy.
The average person eats like shit.
Why listen to the mob? Mediocrity loves company. Excellence is a lonely place. Focus on what’s in front of you.
8. Nothing changes if you don’t raise the bar
The bar you set determines the life you build.
If you’re okay with being broke that’s what you’re going to get.
If you accept nothing but the best - you’re gunna get it.
You get what you tolerate in life. Say no to bad hires, energy vampires, and negativity.
9. You are enough
People way dumber than you have accomplished shit 10x more impressive than what you have. Accept that you are enough. Flaws and all. And get after it.
You are capable of doing that thing that feels out of reach.
10. Obsession beats talent every time
I fired a designer a year ago. I’m not a designer, but I stay up at night thinking about how I can improve my product.
I ended up designing a product that was 10x better than that designer. Not because I’m more talented. But because I care 1000x more.
Rant over.

@JamieSiminoff I just received the email about the new Ring feature “Fire Watch“, this is absolutely excellent, and just wanted to recognize the level of intention that you and your teams put into the safety of communities. Thank you.
This is an excellent read, right on time for the new year, and rich in providing so much substance it’s a guiding light for anyone who finds themselves in a ball of overstimulating confusion of guess and predict to see how life will unfold. This is the call to intention & action.
For the past couple of years, I've had fun making a set of AI predictions for the year ahead. This year feels different.
Trying to predict the end state of the AI revolution right now feels like asking someone in the era of horse-drawn carriages to predict the societal impact of self-driving cars. The world is moving too fast for a "Bingo Card".
So for 2026, I’m ditching the predictions and focusing on Guiding Principles.
Instead of guessing what will happen, I’m committing to how I’ll navigate it:
1️⃣ Build to Learn: You can’t just theorize; you have to build.
2️⃣ Agency > Intelligence: In a world where intelligence is abundant, the drive to "figure it out" is the ultimate differentiator.
3️⃣ Cultivate Product Intuition: When execution speed is effectively infinite, the bottleneck is decision-making. You need the intuition to make the right call instantly.
4️⃣ Write to Think: Using writing not to preach, but to find out what I actually believe.
5️⃣ Stay Curious: Comfort is a trap.
In today's substack post I expand on all of this - and also talk about something else that I think 2026 is going to be full of....balancing tensions: https://t.co/tiXpG7Pavf
