Whenever I feel demotivated, I rewatch this...

Elon Musk in a living room in 2008, 12 days from bankruptcy, pitching a $109,000 car to people...

Ten million people have watched a Stanford lecturer accidentally destroy the entire public speaking coaching industry.

He filmed the lecture once in October 2014 and it has been on YouTube ever since.

Speaking coaches charge two thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in one hour for free.

His name is Matt Abrahams. He is a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the coach who has trained thousands of Silicon Valley founders on how to answer questions live.

Every year at Stanford's Alumni Weekend, he gives the same lecture called "Think Fast, Talk Smart."

His entire framework fits on a napkin.

Anxiety is not a bug. Greet it. Do not perform. Have a conversation. Never open with an apology. Use What, So What, Now What when your brain freezes. Problem, Solution, Benefit for a pitch. Never end with "any questions?"

That last rule alone has probably cost the pitch coaching industry a hundred million dollars.

"Ninety percent of the words that will decide your career are not written down in advance."

That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Abrahams built the entire Stanford elective on the sentence.

Founders spend $50,000 on pitch coaches and freeze the moment the investor asks a follow-up question. Engineers walk into performance reviews having rehearsed every accomplishment and blank on the one behavioral question that decides the promotion.

The lecture is free on Stanford's YouTube channel. Abrahams's book "Think Faster, Talk Smarter" is under twenty dollars.

Abrahams still teaches at Stanford. Almost none of the ten million viewers have used the three-step frame when put on the spot.

The frame is free. The willingness to actually use it the next time someone puts you on the spot is the entire edge.

In 1986 a guy got kicked out of every casino in Vegas for counting cards. So he flew to Hong Kong with $180,000 and started betting on horses instead.

He walked away with almost $900 million.

It was Bill Benter.

He realized horse racing was just another counting problem same math, more moving parts.

He and a partner built a computer model that estimated the true odds of each horse. If his numbers showed an edge, he bet. If not, he skipped it.

That’s the whole trick:

Expected value.

EV = p · b − (1 − p)

Only bet when the probability of winning × the potential payout is greater than the chance of losing.

What’s even crazier is that Benter once gave a 45-minute lecture explaining the math behind his system.

That recording was never supposed to become public.

And almost nobody knows it exists.

This is the lecture that professional bettors and hedge fund analysts studied.

The answer is in this video.

NDLEA did not bust a roadside dealer.
They walked into an Ogun forest and found a Mexican-linked meth factory.
2.4 tonnes.
₦480 billion.
Three Mexican chemists.
A Nigerian financier.
Power, water, living quarters, built to stay.
Then they found a fentanyl precursor in the same site.
Nigeria is being used as a production floor, not a waypoint.
That is the story.

This should not be possible 🍄

An 80-year-old woman with severe Alzheimer's took one dose of psilocybin.

She entered a sleep-like state for 19 hours, but when she woke up:

- she spoke for 5 hours straight
- was able to recognize her family
- hold complex conversations
- dress herself
- regain bladder control
- walk unassisted

This is a woman who hadn't spoken for 10 years. And 5 grams of mushrooms...

Which makes you wonder:

How much of an aging brain is 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 gone and how much is just waiting...

to be switched back on.
