Vegas is becoming a price trap.
A pool menu shows $290 for a bucket of Coors Light.
$309 for High Noons.
$39 for a Bloody Mary.
No VIP table. No bottle service. Just a lounge chair by the water.
This is what unchecked corporate greed has done to Vegas.
More of this. 80 Pizza Huts were bought by this guy. He then made them classics by bringing back the decor, the salad bar, the whole original experience many of us remember. It's not surprising to me that these are becoming popular.
High cortisol shaves 7 years off your life — and most adults are running it.
It wrecks deep sleep, ages your skin, fragments memory, and locks belly fat in survival mode.
Here are 10 cheat codes to lower cortisol according to science:
1. Strict caffeine cutoff at noon
@TheRightMelissa@ginnydmm Do some homework on Scholastic and their book fair policies. Learn about what schools can and can’t do in terms of the content that gets displayed. Talk to librarians. Then put it out. You’re welcome.
A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.
He died 5 months after recording it.
It was his final gift to the world.
Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.
The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.
And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.
How to speak.
15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:
Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.
Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.
The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.
Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.
Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.
Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.
Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.
Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.
Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.
Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.
End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.
Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.
Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.
The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.
Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.
Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.
Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.
You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.
Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.
He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.
