Interesting revelation from Robert Sapolsky, a neurobiologist at Stanford University, research on stress.

The baboons rank determines the level of stress hormones in his system.

If the the baboon is a dominant male, the stress hormones are low.

If they are submissive (low ranking), the stress hormones are much higher.

The more interesting in the research is that low rankers have increased heart rate and high blood pressure.

@boardyai @andrewdsouza building AI-driven dialogue tools that can change how African founders get venture support. Boardy Pro would be huge for this

I need Female and Male answers on this. I’m realizing that the people who usually share and like my #Substack newsletter and even send me DMs are usually females. The funny part that I was building my newsletter for a male audience.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening? Do women read more? Is it my newsletter issues are targeted more for women? Or women just appreciate more?

I just relocated to the Netherlands and it feels like I am starting my life from zero.

New people, new culture, new weather, new regulations.
Everything is almost new.

The problem is not with novelty.

I trust that I will learn most of it.

I will learn how things work, what to do, what not to do, and where to go.

Probably, I’ll also learn how to complain about the weather like everyone else.

But novelty brings a set of emotions: An excitement about change, a joy for the unknown, regrets about not planning better, and an anxiety of the sacrifices to be made along the way.

However, in all of this, there is a new realization that started rising.

Life is not happening to me. I’m the main character.

It was never the case before. I always felt that I need to do something for some reason. It can be money, status, expectations, or even to feel that I’m part of a community.

I’m not sure when the shift started happening.
But I know I actively worked on this change of perspective.

If you are based in Netherlands, let's connect.

We created an AI girl and put her on Bumble: not to date, but to grow her Instagram.

30 minutes later: 150 likes and 20 new followers.

2 days later: 800 likes.

Dating apps are the most underrated growth channel no one talks about: https://t.co/GNk0ofmzPA

I made a growth funnel for dating.
It got me 500 likes, dozens of matches and 10 dates.
I write about the full process here: https://t.co/GNk0ofmzPA

I think this is the only way for career success.

@sergeynazarovx I realized it’s an addiction. I have some of it. It’s similar to how athletes have ‘exercise addiction’.
The only way to deal with it is self awareness and self management. I wrote about it yesterday in my newsletter hahaha link in the reply in case interested.
