The face of the entire weekend was Won Bin Hong. Incredible human and athlete. Won Bin and I have been working together for nearly 2 years. The progress he has made both physically and mentally has been outstanding (shoutout twitterless Declan Morrissey for the work he's put in on the S&C side for Won Bin).
He put together one of the most electric showings of the weekend. His average and peak velos were PRs, but most importantly he pitched without any hesitation. Zero walks is much more of a win than him throwing hard. Check out what he did below ⬇️
Andrew Huberman: "Someone I really respect said this, 'There are basically two kinds of people in life. Winners and losers.' And the definition is this—losers take things that happen to them... and the wallow and they use it for self or outward destruction."
"Winners take whatever they feel, it sucks, and they transmute it into things that are good for themselves and for the world."
NEW: Jelly Roll breaks down in tears after his lifelong dream of being invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry came true at the end of Joe Rogan's show.
Rogan surprised the singer with a message from country music artist Craig Morgan.
Jelly Roll threw his headphones to the side when he realized what was happening.
"That's like ... it don't get no bigger in country music, bubba."
Congrats!
The Doorman Fallacy
'You have a five-star hotel and it has a doorman, welcoming incoming guests.
McKinsey or Accenture will come in and say, “Your doorman currently costs you X thousand dollars a year. We have defined his or her function as opening the door. We’ll replace said doorman with an automatic door-opening mechanism and an infrared human detector and we’ll save you $30–$40,000 a year.”
They walk away, and they take the credit for the cost savings. Two years later, the hotel’s a catastrophe ... because the doorman was doing multiple things, many of which were human and kind of tacit.
Security would be one; there are no vagrants asleep in the doorway. Hailing taxis, dealing with luggage, recognizing regular guests, providing status to the hotel—there are loads and loads of value creation components to that doorman which aren’t captured in the open-the-door definition."
It's easy to see the visible things, but the invisible things make the difference.
Gary Brecka just dropped a total paradigm-shifter while sitting with Barbara O’Neill and the room went silent…
Brecka: “The parabolic rise in skin cancer is almost perfectly superimposable with the parabolic rise in sunscreen use.”
O’Neill: “Exactly. Author Ian Whishart claims sunscreens themselves are causing basal cell carcinomas.”
Brecka: “It’s the inflammatory process on the skin + the vitamin D deficiency. We were literally designed to manufacture ONLY ONE vitamin in our bodies — vitamin D3 from sunlight + cholesterol — and then we spent decades vilifying both the sun and cholesterol.”
O’Neill nodding hard: “And the vitamin D deficiency is massive…”
Not medical advice, not telling anyone what to do — just two of the most followed health voices on the planet openly challenging 50 years of “fear the sun” programming.
Watch with your own ears and tell me this didn’t just rewire your brain
How did you do today? Stayed out the drama loop? Completed some real work?
Did something to meaningfully support your health? Connected with the people in your life who truly matter? Or did you waste it on things you can’t control & that don’t impact you masked as entertainment.
I had a new student in my Algebra II class. She was homeschooled previously, and this was her first experience in public school. Two days in, she’s already unerolling. I’m not surprised, given our last conversation.
Her words when I asked her what she thought: “I wanted to see what all the hype was and maybe go to prom, but this isn’t for me. Most of class is spent waiting for everyone to open their Chromebooks or figure out what to do after the teacher has literally said it 5 times. And, I can’t use the bathrooms because of all the vaping.”
I knew it wasn’t going to work when she brought back an entire unit packet (meant to be completed over 2 weeks) the next day. And no, she didn’t use AI. I asked her a few questions and she could explain the most difficult concepts verbally. She even offered her advice on how the sequencing of the packet could be improved.
