I worked on something that has been on my heart for while now with some cool friends.
It is called Reveal. A Real estate company that helps investors abroad invest in properties in Ghana.

What Are We Striving For, and To What End?

You have to develop a strong opinion of yourself so you don't end up internalizing the beliefs others have of you.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

You don’t scale products by adding more features.

You scale by running better experiments.

That’s growth engineering.
@_ritaokonkwo on why she wrote a book on Growth engineering

[Hannah Lormenyo @blessed_hl]

Programming is slowly becoming English.

AI can now write code, explain systems, review PRs, and even investigate bugs.

So instead of competing with AI at coding…
I’m focusing on:
• systems thinking
• architecture
• product design
• asking better questions

The worst prison in the world is having the intelligence to achieve something great but lacking the courage to go out and do it.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

If you make content about stuff you did and share the lessons you learned, you'll do well.

If you make content about stuff other people did, and share their lessons, you'll do poorly.

Do cool stuff
Talk about it
Make money
Invest money in doing cooler stuff
Repeat.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Your entire life will change when you start to embrace what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

James Clear on having high standards:

[James Clear @JamesClear]

You will love whatever you pour your heart into. Passion follows commitment.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

My definition of success is waking up energized and going to bed exhausted. Waking up energized means I’m doing meaningful things with people I love. Going to bed exhausted means I gave my all for those things. That’s a good life.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

You can beat 99% of people by just trying.

And I don’t mean half-assing it. I mean truly trying. Giving it your all. Putting everything on the line. Moving goddamn mountains.

Most people avoid hard things. Which is why most people live hard lives.

[Chisom Nwokwu🌟 @tech_queen]

My book is here, and it’s beautiful🥺🚀

1 year of hardwork, 340 pages of so much value!

Data Engineering for Beginners is officially LIVE on Amazon, and positive reviews are already rolling in.🎉

I’m incredibly proud of myself for reaching this milestone, and deeply grateful to everyone who supported me on this journey; my family, friends, mentors, and the team at Wiley.💫

Please get a copy for yourself or support someone who needs this foundation.❤️
