Thrilled to have the @homefromcollege app live!

Only a few weeks after launching and already seeing an almost 30% increase response rate on the in-app messenger.

An explicit goal I have is to make more projects with friends, but doesn't have to be work related at all. A project could be a dinner, a trip, an art piece, an essay, a nomenclature - any medium of creative collaboration that requires the fusion of multiple minds and hands!

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country.

The future will increasingly be creator-to-consumer.

Word of mouth marketing always has been, and always will be the most effective form of marketing out there. Yet, if the affiliate link was to characterize the first phase of harnessing word of mouth, then creator shopping experiences will soon be the second.

As more brands converge to the concept, we should see a diverse range of creator-led selling strategies emerge from:
- Shelfs & Closets
- Curated Boutiques
- Online Tasting Rooms
- Style Guides & Capsules
- Travel Guides & Packlists
- Workstations & Studios
- Pantries & Kitchens

If the context of a creator is what creates top-of-funnel, then that context should be used to get the conversion over the line as well.

Call me crazy but now (if any) is the time to study crypto.

It’s not sexy anymore.
You’re not getting short-term rich off it anymore.

If there is true societal value to the technology, you’re far more likely to find it now with all the grifters & opportunists washed out.

[Calley Means @calleymeans]

We're getting sicker, and we're told solutions are complicated.

This is a cynical lie.

Here are 5 policies the President can implement tomorrow (without Congress) that would transform the health of our children and society.

(1) Ban TV Pharma Ads
➡️The US and New Zealand are the only countries in the world that allow pharma ads.
➡️Pharma money is 55% of TV news spending. The reason pharma spends is not to influence consumers - it is to influence the news itself.
➡️The President can instruct the FDA Office of Prescription Drug Promotion to ban pharma ads tomorrow.

(2) No soda on SNAP (food stamps)
➡️It is criminal that 10% of all SNAP funding goes to sugary drinks - which are leading to one-third of teens to have pre-diabetes.
➡️Using existing drug policy, the President can issue an executive order tomorrow that government money should not subsidize an addictive, toxic substance for kids.

(3) Fire the Corrupt USDA Nutrition Panel
➡️95% of the USDA panel that makes nutrition policy is paid for by food companies.
➡️This panel recommends 10% of a 2-year-old's diet can be added sugar.
➡️The President can fire this panel tomorrow and insist on unbiased guidelines.

(4) No conflicts of interest among NIH researchers.
➡️This sounds like a no-brainer, but it is a radical suggestion.
➡️Currently, there are no conflict-of-interest bans at the NIH and 8,000 researchers have "major" conflicts.
➡️This Is why 40x more money is spent on ways to "manage" cancer than to prevent it -- prevention doesn't make money for pharma.
➡️This can be changed tomorrow.

(5) Reform Insane Ag Subsidies
➡️Today, the federal government subsidizes tobacco more than vegetables.
➡️90% of agriculture subsidies go the components of ultra-processed food (corn, soy, wheat) - distorting incentives for farmers
➡️These subsidies are Implemented by the Ag Department.

We are being distracted from talking about REAL issues like this by design...

imo, one of the coolest parts about inner work is that once you start clearly seeing the beauty inside of you, you begin to see the beauty outside of you

genuine healing begets genuine desire to nurture our planet/home, animals, + all the other people around 🌞🌊❣️🍄

Will be digging into this in todays show. Mushrooms can be trained to “eat” cigarette butts, but also oil, plastic, etc.

How can this get in front of the masses… Big Government gives 0 sh!ts about the research & real climate action…

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

Scientists from around the world worked on the latest IPCC report for almost a decade.

But according to leaked documents, many of their recommendations were removed or altered significantly.
