I'm 27.

I spent 10+ years obsessing over self-improvement.

Here's what I learned in 5min so you can save 1,000+ hours:

1. Your life is 100% your responsibility. Nobody will save you.

100 Days To Go. No Pressure. (Okay, maybe a little.) 🏃💨

​Comrades Marathon family! We are exactly 100 days away from the 2026 Up Run. ⛰️

​At this point, you’re likely in one of three stages:
• ​The Elite: Calculating your splits down to the millisecond. ⏱️
• ​The Enthusiast: Wondering if "tapering" can legally start three months early. 🥐
• ​The Realist: Looking at Fields Hill and wondering if your hamstrings have a "refund policy." 📉

​These next 100 days are where the magic (and the blisters) happen. It’s time to swap the "snooze" button for the "start" button and remember: pain is temporary, but the bragging rights last until at least 2027.

​The Stats of the Grind:
• ​Distance: -+87km of "Are we there yet?"
• ​Elevation: Enough to make a mountain goat rethink its life choices.
• ​Supporters: Thousands of legends handing out potatoes and hope.
• ​Your Sanity: Currently TBD.

​Happy Training 💪!!!

Things you can never compromise about ever again once you’ve experienced them once:

- living in a high-trust, safe, clean environment

- being financially free and working on something meaningful at your own pace

- being part of a supportive community of like-minded people who are genuinely happy for each other’s progress and success

- building a loving and kind family who you know has your back unconditionally, and who makes you grow into a more generous, optimistic, high-energy version of yourself

- having smart and thoughtful friends with whom you can talk about nearly anything without ever feeling judged

- knowing what daily routine, diet, habits get you close to the most physically fit, mentally sharp, spiritually connected version of yourself, and applying consistently throughout the years and decades

Universal Music just settled the lawsuit that was supposed to destroy AI music.

As someone running an 8-figure record label with 2.7 billion streams, I've been following this closely.

The settlement is super surprising. Here's what actually happened (and why it changes everything) ↓

Just 6 months ago, Universal sued Udio for "massive copyright infringement at an almost unimaginable scale."

The entire industry was watching.

If Universal won, AI music companies would be dead.
If Udio won, human artists might become obsolete.

Nobody expected what happened on October 30th...

Universal did much more than just settle. They signed a groundbreaking partnership that includes:

• Compensation for the lawsuit

• Licensing for recorded music AND publishing rights

• A new AI platform launching in 2026

• Artists get paid for training AND outputs

Why this is such a massive deal: this seems to be a blueprint for the future.

Here's why it's genius:

Udio immediately turned off all downloads. Existing AI creations are now in a "walled garden" with fingerprinting and protective measures.

But the real innovation?

Artists can opt-in to have their music train the AI. They get compensated twice - for the training AND when AI uses their style.

Universal basically said: "If you can't beat them, own them."

The dominos started falling immediately...

October 16: Spotify announced AI partnerships with Sony, Warner, AND Universal. They're building a "state-of-the-art generative AI research lab."

October 23: YouTube revealed they paid $8+ billion to the music industry last year. Lyor Cohen said they won't stop until YouTube is the #1 revenue source for music.

Their "twin engine" of ads + subscriptions is coming for Spotify's crown.

As a label owner, here's what this really means:
The war is over. AI won. But so did artists.

Instead of AI replacing musicians, it is becoming a tool that musicians control and profit from.

The labels that survive won't be the ones fighting AI.
They'll be the ones who figure out how to:

• License their catalogs strategically
• Protect artist rights while enabling innovation
• Create new revenue streams from AI trainin

For independent labels like mine, this is actually an opportunity...

While majors negotiate massive deals, we can move faster.

We can:
• Partner with smaller AI companies
• Create artist-friendly AI policies now
• Build direct relationships with AI platforms

A key insight from me:

When disruption threatens your industry, you have two choices:

(1) Fight it and (most likely) lose slowly

(2) Partner with it and shape the future

Universal chose option 2.

And turned their biggest threat into their next billion-dollar revenue stream.

Naval Ravikant on the “single-most important indicator of an entrepreneur’s success”

Naval admits it’s very difficult to predict which startups will work—only 1 out of 10 of his angel investments succeed—but he has noticed a common trait among many of the great companies:

“The founders are in it for the long haul. And the way you see that evidence very early on. They are extremely deliberate about all kinds of small decisions. Stuff you might think that doesn’t matter… And what you realize is is it’s their nature to obsess over these things because they feel like like they’re laying the bricks and the foundation of a skyscraper.”

He contrasts this to entrepreneurs are more careless early on:

“The people who are flippant about things… they’re often signaling to you that they’ll sell the company the first chance they get, or the moment that it looks like they’re gonna run out of cash, they’ll shut down.”

He continues:

“So I think that long-term mentality is probably the single-most important indicator of an entrepreneur’s success. But it’s by no means the only thing. It’s a very competitive environment. Most startups fail. And so you just gotta stick with it.”

@dfcugroup Because it is a public holiday, must business continuity stop?

I imagine there could be a telemarketer with whom we can negotiate exchange rates with for foreign remittances.

Because I have to wait for Monday, the amount I’m meant to transfer could be renegotiated.
