Hang around two lazy people, you’ll become the third.
Hang around two cheaters, you’ll become the third.
Hang around two dropouts, you’ll become the third.
Hang around two CHAMPIONS, you’ll become the third.
Moral of the story?… Your circle matters!

The Jordan 3 didn’t just change the sneaker game—it saved the @Jumpman brand.
When Michael Jordan asked @howardhwhite what he thought of Tinker Hatfield’s first design, H’s brutally honest answer nearly started a fight. So, “H” hopped on the phone with Hatfield, & it sparked a relationship that changed history.
From one uncomfortable conversation came “The Jumpman.”
@Thepivot x “H” 🤝🏾

At 22, The Rock had $6.80 to his name. Now he's worth a reported $800,000,000 and says he still feels a week from losing it all
Speedy: "A quick Google search says your net worth is $800 million. Is that accurate?"
The Rock: "I came from 7 bucks.
The Rock: "To me, I'm a week away from getting evicted again. I'm a week away from having that seven bucks. So I keep that, and yeah, it motivates me."

Straight talk from Mike Rowe as he explains why our country’s focus must be on training our young people for trades rather than pushing them into a college degree they may never be able to use.
“We’ve got 7.2M men not participating in the workforce, and not looking for work.
We have $1.7 T in student loan debt on the books.
We’ve got 7.6M positions that don’t require a 4 yr degree, and yet we keep lending money to kids who are never going to be able to pay it back; to train them for jobs that don’t exist anymore.
If we want to close the skills gap,
we need to make a more persuasive case.”
🚨 FORMER TESLA PRESIDENT ADMITS ELON USED THE DOMINO’S PIZZA APP TO REINVENT HOW PEOPLE BUY CARS — AND THE STORY IS BLOWING PEOPLE’S MINDS
Former Tesla president Jon McNeill is going viral after revealing the bizarre moment Elon Musk pulled up the Domino’s pizza app during a meeting… because Tesla customers needed 64 CLICKS just to buy a car online.
Elon’s reaction?
“How many taps does it take to get a pizza?”
Answer:
• 10 taps
Buying a Tesla at the time?
• 64 clicks
• endless loan documents
• nonstop forms
• massive friction
Elon became obsessed with stripping the process down after realizing most of the paperwork wasn’t even legally required.
So Tesla started going bank-to-bank asking:
Why does buying a car need to feel harder than ordering dinner?
Most banks reportedly refused to cooperate.
Then one Midwest bank CEO finally agreed to test a radically simplified system… and Tesla allegedly eliminated around 40 clicks from the process almost overnight.
Now people online are saying this perfectly explains why Tesla disrupted the entire auto industry while traditional dealerships kept drowning customers in paperwork, waiting rooms, and sales tactics.
Did Tesla accidentally expose how outdated the entire car dealership model really was?

The first thing you have to do before anything else: you have to know yourself. Figure out who the hell you are.
The second thing: you’ve got to know what you actually want to do.
If you know who you are and what you want to do, then just wake up and get after that goal every single day.
$1.2M NIL deal at 18.
Most keep $588K. Michael kept $805K.
The $217,000 gap was four decisions wide.
Meet Michael. 18 years old. From California. Never filed a tax return in his life. Just walked into more money than most adults will see in a decade.
Here’s how we drew it up.
𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝟭: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆.
California has a 13.3% top tax rate. Texas has none. NIL income is taxed based on your state of domicile, not your school’s state. We established Michael as a Texas domiciliary.
Saved: $127,000.
𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝟮: 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
NIL income is self-employment income. As a sole proprietor, Michael would pay self-employment tax on every dollar. We set up an LLC taxed as an S-corp, paid him $190K in salary, and took the rest as distributions.
Lower SE tax. And it unlocked the next move.
𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝟯: 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀.
Remember that $190K salary? It wasn’t random.
It maxed out his solo 401(k): $24,500 employee + 25% employer match = $72,000.
Add a backdoor Roth IRA at $7,500.
Tax savings today: ~$26,000. Plus 50 years of compounding.
𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝟰: 𝗗𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
Here’s the one most athletes never hear:
Off-field NIL income lets you deduct agent fees. On-field salary doesn’t.
Agent fees ($60K+) + business expenses ($20K) = $80K off the top.
Four moves. $217K back in his pocket. Now we invest.
If Michael puts $685K to work at age 18 and never adds another dollar, an 8% return gets him here:
Age 30: $1.7M
Age 40: $3.7M
Age 50: $8M
Age 60: $17M
Age 70: $37M
Age 80: $80M
He’s 18. His superpower isn’t the $1.2M.
It’s the 60 years of compounding nobody his age understands he has.
What he does in the next 12 months decides whether $1.2M stays $1.2M or becomes $80M.
If you’re on a big NIL deal, let’s talk.
