Life is too short to work with people you don’t deeply respect, admire and like or on concepts you aren’t deeply passionate about.

[Alan Dario Macias @alanmacias]

Aimlessness is a vice - They who have no central purpose in their life fall am easy prey to petty worries, fears and troubles all of which are indicators of weakness, which lead to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe.

SpaceX was less than 10 people back then. We didn’t even have office furniture.

Contraste abismal: rumbo al Mundial 86 México vivía una verdadera fiesta nacional. Había ilusión, banderas en las calles, orgullo y unión después del terremoto del 85. Se vivía como algo histórico y propio. El Mundial se sentía del pueblo.

Ahora el ambiente se siente frío, apagado, totalmente comercial y sin pasión. Más marketing que emoción futbolera. Un mundial sin espíritu y lejano.

I’m sorry,

But if the CEO/founder isn’t intense

You basically have no shot. Join a different startup.

KKR mapped the AI infrastructure value chain.

The electrical infrastructure supplying every layer of it represents some of the most compelling roll-up opportunities in private markets today.

Price inelastic customers, high retention, fragmented market.

Brazil feeds a billion people.

It holds 12% of the world’s freshwater.

It produces 87% of its electricity from renewables at half the cost of American power.

It holds 94% of global niobium, the second-largest reserves of rare earths, and the second-largest reserves of graphite.

Its stock market trades at 9.25x forward earnings.

The S&P 500 trades at 21x.

An American investor pays more than twice as much per dollar of expected earnings for exposure to the US economy than for the country that holds the minerals, the water, the food, and the energy that the 21st century runs on.

Someone explain to me how that math works.

Read why I’m bullish on Brazil below 👇

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

At your funeral, friends and family will argue over who gets your belongings.

People will talk about the food and the venue.

Your life will be summarized in 2-3 paragraphs.

Conversations will shift from your life to their lives.

Your friends will drive away thinking about what’s next on their to-do list.

Some people won't be able to make it because "something came up."

And most of the people you know today won’t even be there.

You’re gonna die.
People will move on (in weeks not years).
Do what you want.
